Introduction
Plants are known of their ability to maintain good
health since antiquity. Nowadays, the interest in natural
products as antimicrobial agents has greatly increased
due to the gradual collapse of antibiotics in the front
of the multi-drug-resistant pathogens. Spices are rich in
bioactive chemical compounds and they have been used
by several cultures for many centuries as food seasoning,
preservatives, insecticidal, colorants, and natural
flavours. Many spices are used to extend shelf-life of
food, prevent food spoilage and foodborne diseases,
though some spices are used in food production industry

and also many spices are used
to inhibit infectious diseases and
eradicate pathogens, particularly
in traditional medicine.According
to recent global interest in natural
products, medicinal plants and
traditional medicine, studies
on spices should be revived in
order to innovate new natural
drugs. Encouraging this, is the
fact that up to 80% of the world
populations are still rely on
medicinal plants and natural
products in their primary health-
care needs.
The genus Piper L.
(family Piperaceae) consists
of more than one thousand
species, distributed mainly in
tropical regions of the world.
Piper nigrum L. (black pepper)
is the most famous species
of this genus, it is known as
the “king of spices” due to its
pungent principle piperine and
the popularity in use for flavoring
food throughout the world.
On the other hand, P. nigrum
(Piper nigrum) has been used
for medicinal purposes in many
parts of the world since ancient
times. Medicinal uses of P. nigrum
include antibacterial, antifungal,
antiapoptotic, antidepressant,
antidiarrheal, anti-inflammatory,
antimutagenic, antioxidative,
antipyretic, antispasmodic,
antitumor, to improve appetite
and digestive power, anti-
cold, anti-cough, dyspnea, for
curing from throat diseases,
anti-intermittent fever, anticolic,
anti-dysentery, get rid of worms
and piles.
There are many species
which are yet to be escavated
from wild sources and among
the these Adi pepper is an
indigeneous species of black
pepper found in Garwale village
of Kodagu District, identified
an d reported by an f armer
named Poonacha N.N. This
species when compared to other
prominent variety in the market,
which had a better advantage in
terms of biochemical as well as
in terms of commercial point of
view.
Special features of Adi
pepper:
1.Bold size corns with bulk
density above 600 g.
2.Tolerant to anthracnose and
quick wilt diseases.
3.3-4 kg dry pepper per
plant(8-10 years old plant).
4.Highly suitable for heavy
rainfall, high altitude and misty
area.
5.Fetches Rs. 700 per kg
compare to normal pepper
which fetches Rs. 320 per kg.
Discussion
Adi pepper is exceptionally
an emerging species which is
rich in almost all the parameters
required for export. With this

Adi pepper
there would be a greater
contribution to the field of
spices in terms of economy and
nutritional security. This species
not only holds a very good
quality parameters but also is
resistant to quick wilt which is an
severe divarstating problem to
the commercial pepper cultivars
today.
Conclusion
Adi pepper is a great
promising species in terms
of quality and essential oil
percentage. Which can be
explored and can be promoted
as an commercial source after
scientific taxanomical studiesand
standardization of its package
of practice. From the available
data of essential oil and quality,
it has the full potential to meet
the standards ofexport as a
result helps the draining farmers
with a great relief. Therefore,
further efforts should be made
to investigate standardized this
species using well-designed
studies owing their widespread
use. In addition, a wide range
of possibilities are open for the
development of functional foods
based on this species.

The essential oil of Piper majusculum from Piperaceae family was obtained by hydrodistillation technique in a Dean-Stark apparatus. The GC and GC-MS analysis of the essential oil had identified twelve components accounting for 93.79% of the total oil. The major components were β-caryophyllene (17.27%), caryophyllene oxide (14.26%), α-selinene (14.21%) and cis-calamenene (9.62%). This is the first report on the volatile components of P. majusculum.

Medicinal plants are very popular in different traditional systems of medicines due to their diverse pharmacological potentials and lesser side effects in biological systems. Piper nigrum L. (Family Piperaceae) is a well known spice considered as ‘‘The King of spices’’ among various spices. It contains a pungent alkaloid ‘‘piperine’’ which is known to possess many pharmacological actions. Piperine increases bioavailability of many drugs and nutrients by inhibiting various metabolising enzymes. Piper nigrum L and its active constituent ‘’Piperine’’exhibits diverse pharmacological activities like antihypertensive, antiplatelet, antioxidant, antitumor, anti-asthmatics, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diarrheal, antispasmodic, antidepressants, immunomodulatory, anticonvulsant, anti-thyroids, antibacterial, antifungal, hepato-protective, insecticidal and larvicidal activities etc. The current review article is aimed to provide an updated literature review on recent advancement of pharmacognosy, chemistry and pharmacological activities of Piper nigrum L.

Exhaustive hydro-distillation of the leaves of Piper aduncum and fruits of Piper gibbilimbum (Piperaceae) afforded colorless and pale orange colored oils in 0.35 and 0.30 % yields, respectively. Detailed chemical analysis by GC/MS indicated the volatile constituents of Piper aduncum to be composed of dill apiole (43.3%), beta-caryophyllene (8.2%), piperitione (6.7%) and alpha-humulene (5.1%), whilst the oil of P. gibbilimbum is dominated by the gibbilimbols A-D (74.2%), with the remaining major constituents being the terpenes camphene (13.6%) and alpha-pinene (6.5%).

Most therapeutics available today are highly toxic, very expensive and exhibit minimum efficacy. The issue of toxicity is even more critical for prevention than for therapy because the former involves normal subjects. Thus, therapeutics that are safe and affordable are needed for both prevention and therapy. Spices of Southeast Asian origin, once employed for taste, appearance and preservation of food, now appear to have therapeutic value for humans. What the active principles in these spices are and how they mediate their effect against various diseases are beginning to emerge from extensive research carried out within the last half-century. The current monograph is an attempt to address the active constituents, their molecular targets and the therapeutic uses of these spices. © 2009 by World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

The essential oils of the specimens of Piper aduncum that occur in deforested areas of Brazilian Amazon, North Brazil, are rich in dillapiole (35-90%), a derivative of phenylpropene, to which are attributed biological properties. On the other hand, the oils of the specimens with occurrence in the Atlantic Forest, and Northeastern and Southeastern Brazil, do not contain dillapiole, but only terpene compounds such as (E)-nerolidol and linalool. One specimen existing in the Amazon was hydrodistilled. The obtained oil was fractioned on a silica chromatographic column, resulting in fractions rich in dillapiole (95.0-98.9%) utilized for analyses by GC and GC/MS, structural characterization by NMR, confirmation of their biological properties, and to obtain the isomer isodillapiole. Dillapiole showed a fungicide action against the fungus Clinipellis perniciosa (witches' broom) by inhibition of its basidiospores, in concentrations ranging from 0.6 to 1.0 ppm. The larvicide and insecticide actions of dillapiole were tested against the larvae and the adult insects of Anopheles marajoara and Aedes aegypti (malaria and dengue mosquitoes), resulting in mortality of the larvae (48 h, 100%) at a concentration of 100 ppm, and mortality of the insects (30 min, 100%) at a concentration of 600 ppm. The isomeric isodillapiole showed no significant activity in the same biological tests.
