black pepper oil CO2 extract

Black pepper oil CO2 extract is a concentrated essential oil extracted via supercritical carbon dioxide methods from the dried fruits (berries) of Piper nigrum L., commonly known as black pepper. This extract appears as a clear to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive fresh, spicy, woody, and herbal aroma profile. Key synonyms include black piper nigrum oil CO2 extract and black pepper pure jungle ess. top note. It belongs to the class of essential oils known for their potent aromatic and flavoring properties. The extraction process preserves the delicate volatile compounds responsible for its characteristic sensory notes. According to PubChem, this oil is widely sourced from black pepper seeds cultivated primarily in regions like Sarawak and other tropical areas. It finds use as a flavoring and fragrance agent in multiple well-regulated industrial applications.

Black pepper oil CO2 extract naturally occurs in the seeds of the Piper nigrum plant. These seeds are harvested for their essential oils that contain key aroma constituents imparting a spicy, woody, and fresh herbal character. This oil is applied extensively in cosmetic formulations and as a flavoring component in food and fragrance products due to its robust sensory profile. Its inclusion in complex fragrance blends serves to add top notes and enhance spiciness and warmth. It is utilized following guidelines such as those outlined by IFRA (Global), which recommend usage concentrations up to 5% in fragrance concentrates. The oil also acts as an ingredient in specialty spice blends and fantasy fragrance compositions. Its flavoring capability extends to formulations requiring a fresh ground black pepper nuance, often replacing or complementing other spice oils in culinary or aromatic products.

The physico-chemical profile of black pepper oil CO2 extract demonstrates its solubility in alcohol and limited solubility in water, with an estimated aqueous solubility of 4.581 mg/L at 25°C. These properties influence its behavior in formulations, dictating solvent selection and compatibility. The oil is flammable and classified under European standards as harmful with irritant properties to eyes, skin, and respiratory systems. These hazards necessitate careful handling and adherence to safety protocols during incorporation into consumer products. The supercritical CO2 extraction preserves sensitive aroma compounds without residual solvents, contributing to the oil's clarity and potent spicy odor. Its chemical stability and solubility aspects make it well-suited for diverse applications in flavor and fragrance preparations where alcohol-based solvents are commonly used as carriers.
