What is organic black pepper extract powder?
Organic Black Pepper Extract Powder is a natural, concentrated extract derived from the fruits of Piper nigrum, commonly known as black pepper. Known for its pungent, spicy flavor and numerous health benefits, this organic extract is widely used in the food, beverage, and nutraceutical industries. The extract contains high levels of piperine, the active compound responsible for black pepper’s distinctive heat and its beneficial properties. With organic certification by both the USDA and EU, this product is free from synthetic chemicals, pesticides, and GMOs, making it a premium ingredient for clean-label formulations.
Organic Black Pepper Extract is standardized to 95% piperine, the key alkaloid responsible for its bioavailability-enhancing and antioxidant properties. Ideal for nutraceuticals, functional foods, and natural preservative systems.
Key Features:
- Bioavailability Booster: Enhances absorption of curcumin, resveratrol, and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K).
- Natural Preservative: Inhibits microbial growth in clean-label foods.

Q: Can it replace synthetic preservatives like sodium benzoate?
A: Yes! Use 0.1-0.5% in formulations to inhibit mold and bacteria.
Q: Does heat processing degrade piperine?
A: No—our microencapsulated powder retains >90% potency after 30min at 160°C.
Q: Is it compatible with ketogenic diets?
A: Absolutely. Zero carbs, sugars, or allergens.
