Black pepper extract, piperine 99%, piperamide CAS: 94-62-2

Piperine is a natural alkaloid (chemical formula C₁₇H₁₉NO₃) extracted from the fruit of plants in the genus Piper (black pepper, white pepper) of the Piperaceae family. It is the core component that gives pepper its spicy flavor. It possesses both flavor characteristics and biological activity, and is widely used in food, daily chemical and other fields. It is a natural raw material with dual value of "flavor + efficacy".

Chemical Composition: A single chemical substance; commercial products typically have a purity ≥95% (food grade/pharmaceutical grade). 

Physical Properties: At room temperature, it is a pale yellow to yellowish-green crystalline powder with a strong pungent taste and a characteristic pepper aroma; melting point approximately 128-130℃; sparingly soluble in water, readily soluble in ethanol, chloroform, oils, and most organic solvents; it is highly compatible with food ingredients, pharmaceutical preparations, and daily chemical formulations.

Chemical Properties: It exhibits good stability and is not easily decomposed in neutral or weakly acidic environments and at normal processing temperatures (baking, cooking, sterilization); it may undergo hydrolysis in strong alkalis and should be avoided in strongly alkaline systems; it possesses certain antioxidant properties and is not easily oxidized or deteriorated.

• Food and Beverage Sector

  Food Flavoring: Widely used in meat products (sausages, ham, bacon), condiments (pepper sauce, chili sauce, compound seasonings), baked goods (bread, biscuits, pizza), and snack foods (potato chips, nuts, jerky), imparting a spicy flavor, enhancing the taste profile, and masking off-flavors.

  Beverage Blending: Used in alcoholic beverages (such as cocktails, whiskey, vodka) and functional drinks (such as energy drinks, herbal teas), adding a spicy kick, enriching the flavor, and aiding in nutrient absorption.

  Food Preservation: Utilizing its antibacterial activity, small amounts are added to meat products, sauces, etc., to help extend shelf life and reduce the amount of preservatives needed.

• Daily Chemicals Sector

  Personal Care Products: Added to toothpaste, mouthwash, and other oral care products, utilizing its antibacterial and breath-freshening effects to help improve oral health, while the spicy sensation can also be invigorating; it can also be used in shower gels and body lotions, using its anti-inflammatory properties to relieve mild skin itching.

  Fragrance Products: Used in men's perfumes, colognes, etc., as a supporting ingredient in spicy and woody fragrances, adding unique aroma layers and enhancing product recognizability.

• Other Applications:
  Feed Additives: Used in livestock, poultry, and aquatic feeds to improve palatability and increase animal appetite. Its antibacterial and digestive-promoting effects can also help improve animal gut health and increase feed conversion rates.

  Pet Food: Used in pet snacks and pet health products to improve taste and help enhance nutrient absorption, maintaining gut health.

1. Unique Flavor, Significantly Enhances Aroma and Taste: As the core flavor component of pepper, it boasts a pure and rich spiciness with a refreshing aroma. A small amount is enough to imbue a product with a classic pepper flavor. Compared to synthetic pungent agents, it has a more natural and distinctive character, making it a "classic ingredient" for food seasoning.

2. Outstanding Bioactivity, Synergistic Multifunctionality

   Absorption Enhancement: It can inhibit the activity of metabolic enzymes in the liver, significantly improving the bioavailability of various nutrients (such as curcumin, vitamins, and alkaloids), earning it the reputation of a "natural absorption enhancer."

   Multiple Benefits: It possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and digestive-promoting activities. It can scavenge free radicals, alleviate mild inflammation, inhibit common pathogens, and help improve digestive function.

3. Stable Source, High Cost-Effectiveness: The raw materials (black pepper and white pepper) have large global production and wide distribution. The extraction process is mature (solvent extraction, crystallization purification), ensuring stable production and controllable costs. Compared to rare plant extracts, it offers a significant cost-performance advantage.

4. High safety and strong compliance: It complies with the food additive and natural flavoring standards of most countries and regions around the world, such as GB 2760 and FDA. When used within the prescribed dosage, it is non-toxic and non-irritating to the human body, has good biocompatibility, and only high concentrations may cause slight irritation to people with sensitive gastrointestinal tracts.
