PIPERINE
Piperine is the active component of white and
black pepper (the berries of the tropical vine
Piper nigrum). Black pepper is obtained by
allowing the unripe fruit to ferment and then
drying it. White pepper is obtained by
removing the skins and pulp of the ripe
berries and drying the seeds. 33

Para-HYDROXYPHENOL -2-BUTANONE ve IONONE
The mixture of these two molecules produces a very
pleasant aroma. Butanone is the molecule chiefly
responsible for the smell of ripe raspberries. The
fresh new smell of the newly picked fruit is due partly to
ionone, which is also responsible for the odours of sun-
dried hay and violets. Ionone is the fragrant
component of oil of violets. 34
