Latest Market Information October 24, 2024
Black pepper oil is extracted via steam distillation from dried berries of peppercorn plant. The resulting oil is strong with a spicy aroma and is pale green or yellow in colour. Other than steam distillation the oil can also be extracted using supercritical CO2 extraction, hydro-distillation and solvent extraction. Black pepper oil is used by the food and beverage industry, as well as an ingredient in cosmetics. It can be used to exfoliate the skin, reduce acne and nourish cells. Though it may cause skin irritation and should be avoided on sensitive skin.
Due to the practice of bold material harvest being employed by farmers, price of extraction has increased significantly. There is a scarcity of black pepper and prices have shot up globally. In fact, raw material prices in the local market have doubled between May and August.
