CLM-PEPPER-002 · VERIFIED
Professional perfumers described the essential oil of dried black pepper fruits (Piper nigrum) from Cameroon as a fine, pleasant black pepper note, and gas chromatography sniffing (olfactometry) of this and two Ashanti pepper samples found compounds such as β-caryophyllene, germacrene D, limonene and β-pinene of greatest importance for their characteristic pepper odour notes.
Fruits from Cameroon; the sniffing result is reported for three pepper samples together, not for black pepper alone.
The statement the claim rests on was found word for word in the abstract fetched from the named service, and an editor read the full abstract against every part of the claim. Abstract from Europe PMC (ebi.ac.uk/europepmc).
