Process Description:
Organic Black Pepper Extract Powder is made by sourcing high-quality organic black pepper fruits from certified organic farms. The pepper is carefully dried, ground into powder, and then subjected to a solvent extraction process to concentrate the piperine content. The extract is then spray-dried or freeze-dried to produce a fine, stable powder. The final product is standardized to contain 95% piperine (or other customer-specific concentrations). Throughout the process, care is taken to preserve the natural flavors and beneficial compounds of the black pepper while ensuring that the final product is free from synthetic chemicals and pesticides.
