Progress in Essential Oils: Long Pepper Oil

The present article is a survey of literature evaluating the constituents of Piper longum L., or long pepper, fruit oil. In one case, early researchers found the oil was devoid of monoterpene compounds and rich in sesquiterpenes, with b-caryophyllene being the major hydrocarbon. Lawrence (1978) and others also examined the composition of P. longum, the findings from which are discussed here.

A Review of Oleoresin Black Pepper and Its Extraction Solvents

All the indications are that an oleoresin pepper can be produced at a similar cost to the products now on the market. The physical appearance of this resin may differ a little from the conventional product, but its organoleptic properties are superior in that it lacks the sweet taste and aroma which is so characteristic of culminated solvents.

Potent Odorants in Peppermint and Cornmint Oils Characterized by GC-O and AEDA

In this study, GC-O and AEDA were used to characterize odorants in peppermint oil Yakima and cornmint oil Chinese.

On the Isolation of Oleoresin Black Pepper by Steam Distillation-Cum-Solvent Extraction and Tailoring of Oleoresin

Using these raw materials--the solvent extractive, supernatant fraction, distilled pepper oil, monocyclic terpenes, piperine factor and diluent--the industry constructs oleoresins of wide variety tailored for many different applications.

Citrus Hydrocarbon-Free Essential Oils

Years of experience accumulated in the commercial production of a large variety of hydrocarbon-free oils have shown that these high quality, and often unique products are particularly appropriate for flavor and fragrance applications.

Biotech Terpenes

Using emerging biotech processes, one large fermentation tank will be able to produce as much valencene as a pile of oranges standing 500 feet tall and weighing 1 million metric tons.

Base-catalysed of terpenes

We have projected in the foregoing survey significant advances in the isomerisation of terpenes by base catalysis. Invoking this technique, it si seen how many of the delicate reactions are smoothly accomplished, adding new dimensions to terpene technology. How terpenes, which are notoriously sensitive to thermal and proton impact, have been engineered in the desired direction through base catalysis is an important chapter in the history of terpene chemistry.

The biosynthesis of terpene compounds

From Wallach's isoprene rule to Ruzieka's biogenetic isoprene rule, the monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes have played a significant role in the development of basic concepts concerning the origin of all terpenoid compounds. Yet, while our understanding of the biosynthesis of higher terpenoids, such as steroids, has flourished progress in the biochemistry of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes has been relatively slow--due in large part to the chemical nature of the mono- and sesquiterpenes (volatility, instability, and so forth) and to the experimental difficulties associated with the plants that produce these compounds.

Fragrances Through Hydrochlorination of Terpenes

Among the reactions that have enriched terpene chemlstry, perhaps the simplest and one of the outstanding is hydrochlorination. This reaction has been used for structural elucidation, for derivatization to identify and/or purify terpenes and for synthesizing perfumery chemicals. How the application of hydrochlorination on terpenes has unearthed the treasure caves of fragrances is a vibrant chapter worthy of portrayal.

The Continuing Evolution of Terpene Products and Specialties

Renessenz is one of the largest F&F ingredient houses based on natural renewable feedstock and is focusing on innovation and sustainability, particularly in the elimination of impurities and excess waste water.

Nantong—China’s Peppermint Producing Center

Now Nantong supplies about 30% of China’s peppermint oil and about 1/10 of the worlds total. Some 10,000 hectares of land in the area are devoted to growing peppermint.

Authentication of Natural Peppermint Oil

This article explores the application of carbon-14 testing as a method to authenticate naturally sourced peppermint oil and screen for adulteration.

The Artistry of Peruvian Pink Peppercorn

Schinus molle, also known as pink peppercorn, has been harvested from the mountains of Peru for more than 1,300 years. Berjé continues this long-standing tradition by partnering with community harvesters and distillers at-source in Cusco.

There’s Chemistry in Them Chili Peppers!

This article describes the chemistry behind the flavor, aroma, and pungency of chili peppers to assist in flavor creation.

An Effective Program for Maturity Prediction Peppermint Oil Crops

Use of the harvest prediction program has led to a greater understanding of the maturity effects on quality and allowed far greater confidence in the ability of the Australian peppermint oil industry to produce consistently high-quality peppermint oil.
