It is the compound that carries the aroma and the heat, and it is volatile by definition — it leaves. Pepper that has been stored badly, ground too hot, or sat too long in a supply chain loses it, and what remains is fibre and colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndia's food safety standards set a floor of 1.0% volatile oil for black pepper powder.
