Piperine determination in pepper with pressurized solvent extraction
SpeedExtractor E-916: Extraction of piperine from black and long pepper.
Pepper is one of the most widely used spice and seasoning. Piperine – the bioactive compound of white , black or long pepper – imparts the spice with its pungency and biting taste. Piperine was found to have therapeutic and medicinal effects. This Application Notes presents an effective method for the determination of piperines from pepper samples reducing the extraction time using Pressurized Solvent Extraction (PSE). In comparison to the standard method AOAC 987.07 the extraction time can be significantly reduced.
