Green pepper is obtained from the unripe fruit of Piper nigrum plant. Its berries are immediately dried or stored in an acidic brine: this makes green pepper even more aromatic and softer. In European Countries, the green or fresh flavor of pepper is desired in certain food preparations. Green pepper is made in canned and bottled forms. In the canned form, it is prepared by heat-sterilizing green berries and packing them in 2% brine solution for protection. However, the rupturing of berries and making the covering liquid turbid are problems associated with this method. These problems have been overcome with proper canning methods and the introduction of a trace of pepper oil into the can before sealing. In bottled green pepper,heat processing is avoided, but a higher salt strength of 15–20% of the covering liquid is essential for good preservation. At CFRI, under mature berries are dried by arresting the enzyme action responsible for oxidative blackening and drying by mechanical means at low temperatures. The product has an excellent green flavor. It can be directly used in continental food and in medicines .
