<p>Indonesia is one of the major pepper (Piper nigrum L.) producer countries in the world. The main pepper products are distinguished into black and white pepper. Each region has a tradition to produce each of the products and influencing cultivation practices and cost structure. This research was aimed to analyze the cost of productions of black and white pepper and their relative competitiveness to the pepper price at the farm level with conventional and improved cultivation practices. The survey methods were used to obtain the primary data from respondents selected with the snowball sampling method. Lampung and Bangka Belitung Islands were chosen to represent the black and white peppers of smallholders, respectively. The result showed that the farms with conventional cultivation practices did not have sustainable relative competitiveness, indicating higher production costs than the lowest prices received in the long term. On the other hand, relative competitiveness was relatively better in farms that implemented improved cultivation practices. Therefore, to achieve sustainable relative competitiveness, pepper farms should apply improved cultivation practices. The relative competitiveness of white pepper was better than black pepper because the productivity of white pepper was higher even though the production cost was also a little bit higher than black pepper.</p>

Black and white peppers are functional crops, used in food industries as spice and in traditional medicine, for the treatment of many degenerative diseases. This study investigated the influence of microwave heating on the extraction yield, energy absorption and dietary elemental composition of oleoresin extracts from black and white pepper. Under the largest donating rule, the maximum extract yield obtained was 48.22 mg/g from black pepper and 79.02 mg/g from white pepper microwave. The study therefore elucidated the energy absorption capacities in microwave heating and itsresultant effects on extraction yield. This clearly showed the potentials of microwave technology in obtaining high quality extracts with properly controlled parameters.

Abstract A method was developed for the detection and quantitation of piperine in Piper nigrum. A reverse-phase liquid chromatographic system equipped with a C18 column with detection at 340 nm was used. A rapid 1 h acetone extraction followed by solvent dilution was used to avoid sample cleanup. The detection limit is 3 ng injected piperine, with 97.5-100.5% recovery of added piperine.

<p>In this study, the microwave reflux technique was employed to extract piperine from black and white pepper. This is due to its ability to combine the microwave and the conventional solvent extraction together with a high degree of selectivity and quality extract. The extraction process was optimized using theL<sub>9</sub>-Taguchi experimental design. This investigated the effects of four independent factors (irradiation time (x<sub>1</sub>), microwave power level (x<sub>2</sub>), feed particle size (x<sub>3</sub>) and molar ratio (x<sub>4</sub>)) on piperine yield. Antioxidant activity of the oleoresin extracts were later evaluated using DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging assay. The optimum extraction condition in black pepper refluxation was attained at 90 min irradiation time (x<sub>1</sub>), 350 W power level (x<sub>2</sub>), 0.105 mm feed particle size (x<sub>3</sub>) and 10 mL/g molar ratio (x<sub>4</sub>) with an extremum ranking in decreasing order of x3&gt; x<sub>4</sub>&gt; x<sub>2</sub>&gt; x<sub>1</sub>.However,from the white pepper refluxation an optimum condition was achieved at 120 min irradiation time (x<sub>1</sub>), 350 W power level (x<sub>2</sub>), 0.300 mm feed particle size (x<sub>3</sub>) and 6 mL/g molar ratio (x<sub>4</sub>) with a corresponding decreasing extremum order of x<sub>1</sub>&gt; x<sub>4</sub>&gt; x<sub>2</sub>&gt; x<sub>3</sub>.From the results obtained from concentration-dependent radicals scavenging activity it was concluded that white oleoresins extract were much higher in inhibitory activity than that of black oleoresin extract.</p><p>Chemical Engineering Research Bulletin 19(2017) 139-144</p>

Abstract Babar Island is corn production center in District of Babar Islands. Maize is the dominant food commodities and a major food source for the community. Corn is the dominant crop commodity in Barbar Island and become staple food for the community. The farming are traditional and subsystems to meet farmers household needs and the excess (if any) will be sold but in very limited quantities. However the sales purpose is not commercial but just to meet the households needs that can not be substituted by other goods and only by few farmers if necessary. The farming is carried out on slash and burn dry land by polyculture cropping pattern that is combination of annual and perrenial crops. This study aimed to examine the feasibility and profitability of corn farming in Barbar island, using survey methods with stratified random sampling technique. The results showed that the cost of corn production in Barbar Island, district of Barbar Islands, South West Maluku Regency is consisted of fixed cost and variable cost. The fixed cost components is including : equipment depreciation costs and land rent costs. The variable costs includes : inputs costs (seeds, fertilizers, chemical) and labor costs. Variable costs is the largest cost component for corn farming. Corn farming is profitable and viable, as indicated by the average income Rp.2.647.396 compared to the average cost incurred by farmers Rp.2.520.934 and BC ratio of 1.05. This means that the production costs of Rp.2.520.934 will generate benefit 1.05 times of the cost.

White pepper is a high value product being preferred by the markets of developed countries. However, the white pepper production time is too long and the procedure needs large amount of water. Our research offered two solutions to over come these disadvantages gradually. The shelling yield of black pepper that was immersed in water with the ratio of 1:1 ( W: W) at 35 oC in 48 hours, was 92.2%. In the case that black pepper was in water with the ratio of 1:1 (W:W) and pectinase with the dose of 4 UI/ 50gr pepper, inculation at 40 oC in 4 hours and then at room temperatmein 24 hours, the effectiveness of removing the husk of the pepper reaches 93.2 % and the content of piperine in white pepper was 6.58 percents. This procedure shortens the time of immersing the pepper and reduces the amount of used water environment pollution.


Piperine was discovered in 1819 by Hans Christian, who isolated it from the fruits of Piper nigrum, the source plant of both the black and white pepper grains [1]. Fluckiger and Hanbury found piperine in Piper longum and Piper officinarum Piperine, along with its isomer chavicine, is the alkaloid[1b] responsible for the pungency of black pepper and long pepper [2]. Piperine is extracted from black pepper using dichloromethane [3]. Aqueous hydrotropes can be used in the extraction to result in high yield and selectivity [4]. The amount of piperine varies from 1-2% in long pepper, to 5-10% in commercial white and black peppers [5]. Further, it may be prepared by treating the solvent-free residue from an alcoholic extract of black pepper, with a solution of potassium hydroxide to remove resin (said to contain chavicine, an isomer of piperine) and solution of the washed, insoluble residue in warm alcohol, from which the alkaloid crystallises on cooling [6]. It has been used in some forms of traditional medicine. Piperine, a major alkaloid in black pepper is one of the most gifted bioenhancers till date. Additional methods used for its isolation suffer disadvantages such as poor extraction efficiency, tedious and pricey isolation methodology, piperine photode gradation, etc. Hence a simple, rapid and well-organized method has been developed for the extraction of piperine from the fruits of Piper nigrum. The methods under study involve extraction of piperine with various solvents such as ethanol, propionic acid and dichloromethane. Then isolation and purification were followed by separate classical methods for respective extracts. Compared to other two methods, the novel method using propionic acid proved to be valuable in isolating piperine with higher yield and in higher purity. Hence extract derived using propionic acid was further subjected to alkali wash and passing out through small silicagel bed. Then identification of the compound was confirmed by various analytical methods TLC, melting point, UV-visible spectrophotometer, FT-IR, HPLC and compared it with authentic piperine which resulted into better pure piperine crystals as that of authentic piperine.
