Piperine, the active compound in black pepper, typically constitutes about 5-10% of the weight of the peppercorns. To obtain 20 mg of piperine, you would need approximately 200-400 mg of black peppercorns, depending on their piperine content. However, the exact amount can vary based on the specific variety and quality of the pepper used.

How would you isolate the alkaloid piperine from black pepper?
Well, I am far from being a chemist, but extracting piperine doesn't seem too hard. Here is the short version, for dummies like me. First you take some black pepper, and grind it into a fine powder (I am not sure if you can use it right out of the pepper shaker). Then you mix it with strong alcohol like 190 proof or 95% (like everclear or diesel 190), but you have to mix it really good (like shake it in a sealed container for two hours I think.) or heat it to reflux (basically boil it and liquefy the condensation). (I think this is where the methods split) You filter the other junk out with like filters of some sort, like coffee filters. Then you have to let it sit and the piperine goes to the bottom over a night or two. (This is called distilling it so the piperine precipitates to the bottom.) Then you basically want to let the alcohol evaporate out preferably using some kind of suction device. You might need to add water to it to keep the piperine from evaporating (I am guessing). The piperine should be a yellow crystal type form. This post is for information only. The methods reported in this post have not been tested by me or anyone I know. So anyone who attempts these extractions must rely totally on their own discretion (I other words, be careful because you are on your own). PLEASE DON'T FORGET ALCOHOL IS FLAMMABLE, AND PEPPER AND ALCOHOL BOTH BURN WHEN THEY GET ON SENSITIVE HUMAN TISSUES LIKE IN THE EYES, MOUTH, OR NOSE!
What is white pepper powder?
White pepper is from exactly the same plant as black pepper (Piper Nigrum), sometimes called "peppercorns". White pepper is actually a black peppercorn, but with the shell removed - this means that white pepper is slightly mellower in taste. White pepper has the advantage that, when used in a dish where ground black pepper would be visible, it can be used for a more aesthetically pleasing result. For example, when black pepper is used to season scrambled eggs, it leaves visible black specks. This can be unnerving to a diner who would not usually expect to find black specks in their food; using white pepper negates this situation without compromising on taste.

What is the difference from black peppercorn and ground pepper?
That I know, its the same thing. Ground pepper is black peppercorns ground up. I think some recipes ask for both for the reason that ground black pepper penetrates food differently than just having the whole corn there. Freshly ground pepper from the peppercorns also tastes a lot better

What is the density of pepper?
A typical density for black pepper is 550g/l. This really depends on what kind of pepper you are talking about. Here is a useful formula to find out the density of your method. D= M/V (Density equals Mass divided by Volume) You can find the Mass by weighing the pepper on a scale. You can figure out the approximate volume by measuring the pepper in different ways (depending on its size). Once you have the 2 results, you can divide the Mass of the pepper by the Volume of the pepper. The result would be the Density of the pepper.
What dissolve faster sugar or pepper?
if youre referring to ground pepper, then sugar would disolve faster as it is more dense. whereas, pepper corns wouldn't disolve, perhaps over a very long period of time ie, months, but basically sugar would disolve faster.
