What Is Black Pepper Oleoresin?
Black Pepper Oleoresin is a concentrated extract of the pepper fruit (Piper nigrum), providing the sharp, aromatic flavor of fresh ground pepper in a stable, liquid form. It is widely used in sauces, soups, and seasoning mixes to achieve consistent flavor intensity and clean-label formulation.
How Black Pepper Oleoresin Is Made?
Peppercorns are crushed and extracted through CO₂ extraction to remove volatile oils and piperine —the active flavor compound. The concentrated extract is filtered and standardized for piperine content (typically 20% – 40%) to ensure reproducible taste profiles.
