    Dear NileRed, pure capsaicin isn't very spicy because it requires a carrier oil to stick to the mucous membranes and cause irritation (aka the burning sensation). Could it be that Piperine requires a carrier oil as well? Couldn't find anything online to confirm this.

      Probably not, as he could still taste the spiciness. What he meant by "nothing" was probably that it was ONLY the spiciness, usually in food spiciness is just one flavor amongst many, so the burning sensation has background flavors that are actually tasteable, and not just sensations.

      As the hot solvent recondense on top of the crushed pepper it pass through it and carries the piperine with it

    • @Weaseldog2001
      @Weaseldog2001 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      That's pretty much it. The Soxhlet extractor, keeps recycling the same alcohol, so that he ends up with a more concentrated solution at the end, than if he just heated the pepper in a large quantity of alcohol and boiled it off.
      The extract works as a d distillation unit, so the the evaporated alcohol is mostly pure when it condenses at the top. It's hot and as it drains through the pepper, it dissolves the piperine.
      When the siphon tube fills to the top, it quickly drains the solution with the dissolved piperine, and the cycle repeats.
      The siphon tube is working with the same principle as a flush toilet.

    • @TheFinalMB
      @TheFinalMB 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Full immersion + filtration. I would guess it’d taste like what you’d get from using a clever dripper.

    • @dananskidolf

      That was my thought too. But reboiling your coffee over and over will make it terrible... perhaps not if you do it at low pressure so it boils cooler.

But I used a cellulose based extraction tube instead of cotton. The solvent passes through the pepper a lot nicer and it was easier to remove the pepper after the extraction was finished.

    For the extraction from fine powders you may want to use a soxhlet thimble or capsule.
