Extraction process :
Cubeb pepper tree is a climbing plant that can reach 5 to 15m. It grows mainly in Southeast Asia. This plant is particularly valued for its leaves and berries. The berries are harvested by hand between May and June. This harvest is difficult because the tree climbs regularly on other trees and can thus reach important heights. Berries are then dried and crushed before being used.
At this stage a large part of the production is used as spice. However, a small amount is extracted for perfumery according to the different current practices of our industry.
It is therefore possible to make hydrodistillation on the crushed berries, obtain the Cubeb pepper EO. (close to 10% yield)
If berries are extracted with volatile solvent (mainly hexan), we obtain the Cubeb pepper Absolute and finally, it is also possible to make a CO2 extraction on this ingredient. We then obtain Cubeb pepper CO2.
The most common way of extraction is hydrodistillation.
Other comments :
The main difference between cubeb pepper and other pepper is the tail. In fact, cubeb pepper has a little tail on the top of the berrie. That's why it is named ''tailled pepper ''.
