Black pepper oil
Description
Black pepper oil (CAS 8006-82-4), steam-distilled from the dried berries of Piper nigrum, is a concentrated essential oil used as a flavoring agent and fragrance ingredient across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications.
FEMA 2851 status confirms its recognized use as a natural flavor ingredient in food and beverage manufacturing. In food and beverage production, it delivers the characteristic warm, spicy pepper note to seasonings and sauces.
It is frequently utilized in processed meats and savory snack formulations to provide consistent flavor profiles. Fragrance houses incorporate it into masculine and oriental perfume compositions to add depth and complexity.
The oil is also used in functional cosmetic products where its warm, woody character supports scent profile development. In nutraceutical and pharmaceutical formulations, it functions as a natural flavoring to mask undesirable tastes.
Its antioxidant properties also support shelf-life extension in certain food matrices. This makes it a dual-function ingredient for formulators managing both flavor and oxidative stability in high-quality consumer goods.
Black pepper oil is supplied as a mobile, pale yellow to greenish liquid. Food-grade and cosmetic-grade material is standard, with natural and organic-certified variants available to meet clean-label sourcing requirements.
Typical supply formats include small drums and bulk quantities for industrial buyers. Our material meets rigorous quality standards to ensure consistency and purity for all professional manufacturing and formulation needs.
