Black pepper is a healthy ingredient. It has properties that make it valuable for health.
Antibacterial properties of black pepper
A powerful antioxidant
Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage the body’s cells and tissues. In moderate doses, they are used by the immune system to attack pathogenic bacteria and viruses. However, when produced in excess, they become problematic, causing inflammation, premature aging, heart disease and certain cancers.
Rich in viperin, a plant compound with powerful antioxidant properties, black pepper prevents or delays the damaging effects of free radicals.
An excellent anti-inflammatory agent
Chronic inflammation can be an underlying factor in many diseases such as arthritis, heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
The main active ingredient in pepper, piperine, can effectively fight inflammation.
Beneficial for the brain
According to numerous studies, piperine improves brain function in animal experiments. It has shown potential benefits for symptoms associated with degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Black pepper has been the subject of several research studies due to its antibacterial properties. According to these studies, various black pepper extracts have shown significant inhibitory effects against various gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.
Overall, most of these studies suggest that black pepper could be a potential weapon for the development of new antibacterial drugs against many pathogenic food-borne bacteria, such as those that cause food spoilage.
