About This Product

Black Pepper Oleoresin

Black pepper oleoresin is a dark viscous extract of Malabar black pepper — capturing both the pungency fraction (piperine, 40–45%) and the complete volatile oil profile (20%+) that defines the authentic flavour of Kerala pepper. It is the preferred form for food manufacturers who need consistent, particle-free peppery heat without the physical bulk of ground pepper.

PAX Herbal uses premium Malabar garbled pepper as the extraction feedstock — ensuring the oleoresin inherits the superior piperine content and aromatic complexity of Kerala's finest pepper. GC/MS volatile oil profiling is performed per batch. Pharmaceutical-grade black pepper oleoresin (standardised piperine for BioPerine-equivalent bioavailability enhancement applications) is available as a separate specification.

We supply to food manufacturers (seasonings, marinades, sauces), pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies (piperine for bioavailability enhancement), fragrance houses and natural flavour formulators worldwide.

Note: The Piperine Isolate (Pharma) grade is a purified concentrated extract — not a full oleoresin. At 95%+ piperine, the volatile oil fraction is removed. It is supplied as a dry powder/crystalline solid, not a viscous liquid. Food Grade Standard and Low-Colour Grade are true oleoresins retaining the complete volatile oil and flavour profile.

Common Questions

Buyer FAQs

Piperine is the primary pungent alkaloid in black pepper — responsible for its heat. In pharmaceuticals, piperine is proven to inhibit certain drug-metabolising enzymes, significantly increasing the bioavailability of co-administered compounds. It is most famously used with curcumin (increasing absorption by up to 2000%) and is a key ingredient in many multi-nutrient supplement formulations.
Food-grade oleoresin is a true oleoresin — it retains both piperine (40–45%) and the full volatile oil fraction (20%+) that gives black pepper its characteristic aroma. It is used as a flavouring ingredient. Piperine Isolate (Pharma grade) is a purified concentrated extract at 95%+ piperine — the volatile oil is removed during purification, leaving a dry powder. It is technically a piperine extract, not an oleoresin. It is used as an excipient in supplements where the full flavour impact of oleoresin is undesirable.
Yes — unlike piperine isolate, the full oleoresin retains both the piperine (heat) and the volatile oil fraction (fresh, piney, citrus-woody aroma) that together define the complete black pepper sensory experience. This is why food manufacturers prefer oleoresin over isolated piperine for flavouring applications.
MOQ is 25 kg for food-grade. Pharma-grade piperine: 10 kg. Samples available for testing.
