Piperine Market is observing a multiple-fold business growth in view of the growing demand for organic food and shifting preferences
Black pepper's major bioactive component, piperine, is responsible for
its pungency and biting flavor. Piperine is a chemical that is used to treat
epilepsy in herbal medicine. Black pepper and dichloromethane are used to
extract piperine. Water, alcohol, and chloroform are all extremely soluble in
it. Although, several content criteria imposed by governments on piperine
import in various countries coupled with the side-effects associated with its
consumption is creating a serious dent in the progress of the piperine market.
Regionally, Asia Pacific is enhancing the piperine
market owing to the favorable climate for piperine cultivation in
Vietnam and India combined with the rising trend of healthy lifestyle.
Likewise, the expanding black pepper market is stimulating growth prospects of
the piperine market in the North American region.
Piperine, with the isomeric chavicularin, is the
primary alkaloid accountable for the pungency of hot and black pepper. Its
therapeutic use is mostly in the treatment of depression and anxiety. It has
also been used in certain types of traditional Chinese medicine. In September 2020, the Kerala Agricultural University (KAU), the
Department of Post-Harvest Technology, and the College of Horticulture had
developed Jeevani, a health drink blended with ingredients such as piperine,
curcumin, ginger, and others to enhance immunity-boosting power of people
against the COVID-19 infection.
Piperine has two major effects in human beings: it can
increase the levels of neurotransmitter receptor sites in the brain and enhance
the efficacy of neurotransmitter inhibitors at synapse formation, reducing the
side effects of psychiatric drugs such as tricyclics. It has also been studied
as an anti-aging and neuroprotective agent and has been found to reduce the
degeneration of brain cells caused by aging. In rodents, piperine has been
shown to enhance memory, improve learning and behavior, increase locomotion and
counteract the damaging effects of nicotine on brain function. In October 2020, the Indian ingredients supplier, Sabinsa Corporation,
secured the Canadian patent rights for its uC3 Clear method which makes
ingredients more soluble.
In the near future, drivers affecting the expansion of the piperine market include growing demands for herbs and spices for producing medications, increased research and development efforts, changing customer preferences for taste, and desire for organic foods. Additionally, with the mounting health and wellness concerns in recent years, there has been an increase in demand for natural ingredients in food products.
