The chemistry of pepper has long been studied and the pungent principle of black pepper—a piperidine alkaloid, piperine 134—was isolated as early as 1877 (201). Its synthesis from the acid and piperidine was accomplished in 1882. (202). The corresponding pyrrolidine alkaloid trichostachyne (135) was isolated some 100 years later from several Piper species (see below). The cooccurence of piperidine and pyrrolidine alkaloids is a common feature of the chemistry of pepper. In many cases, the crude alkaloid extract is first cleaved with acids or bases and then each alkaloid is reconstituted by selective amidation. For the sake of unity, this chapter will be limited to comments on pyrrolidines, even in cases where they are minor alkaloids. 

Chlorophylls are hydrophobic compounds made of four modified pyrole rings with an Mg atom and an attached long C20 hydrocarbon tail (Fig. 8.1). In pepper, unripe fruit colors can vary from ivory, green, or yellow. The green color is accumulation of chlorophyll in the chloroplast while ivory indicates chlorophyll degradation as...

The word pepper comes from the Indian Sanskrit word pippali, which became the Greek peperi and Latin piper. Piper nigrum is native to southwest India and Sri Lanka, where it has a long history of traditional use. Pepper was traded as a spice and used as a medicinal substance for at least 4,000 years. It was first cultivated in the present Indian state of Kerala, which is located at the southern tip of India along its southwest coast. Pepper was freely traded between... 

Work in the millikelvin range revealed, however, a striking difference between InP and InSb. For InSb Mansfield et al (1985) observed a disappearance of a with v = 1 (not claimed by Biskupski et al (1981), though this work was only at liquid-helium temperature). On the other hand, Biskupski et al (1984) and Long and Pepper (1984) have both extended their work on InP to T=50 mK and found an apparently discontinuous transition for a field of about 7 T, at which a=...

Johnny s owners, Rob Johnston and Janika Eckert, are featured on the catalog cover holding a basket full of long, red peppers. It s unusual to picture the owners on the cover of a seed catalog, because the vegetables are the stars of this book. Perhaps this is an effort to show how these two are accessible and proud of their product, but it also looks like they are there to protect their latest variety from unsavory characters waiting to steal their seed.
