Dear NileRed, pure capsaicin isn't very spicy because it requires a carrier oil to stick to the mucous membranes and cause irritation (aka the burning sensation). Could it be that Piperine requires a carrier oil as well? Couldn't find anything online to confirm this.

As the hot solvent recondense on top of the crushed pepper it pass through it and carries the piperine with it Hes just using some fancy pants glassware(Soxhlet extractor) to keep things simple and easy. You can alternatively extract by drag if i'am not mistaken, but as he stated is much more 'labor intensive'.

[@Weaseldog2001]

That's pretty much it. The Soxhlet extractor, keeps recycling the same alcohol, so that he ends up with a more concentrated solution at the end, than if he just heated the pepper in a large quantity of alcohol and boiled it off. The extract works as a d distillation unit, so the the evaporated alcohol is mostly pure when it condenses at the top. It's hot and as it drains through the pepper, it dissolves the piperine. When the siphon tube fills to the top, it quickly drains the solution with the dissolved piperine, and the cycle repeats. The siphon tube is working with the same principle as a flush toilet.

I did a piperine extraction today with a makeshift soxhlet-type extractor. It was a simple distillation setup with a liebig condenser. I put some cotton in the bottom of a sep funnel and poured my fresh ground pepper in then placed clipped it in place of my receiving flask. Below that I had another round bottom. I would let the solvent fill up in the sep funnel then open the stopcock and drain. It takes more time then a soxhlet extractor but beats wasting so much solvent. My next purchase is a soxhlet extractor and 2 vacuum adapters to turn my sep funnel into a pressure equalized addition funnel.

The piperine isn't vert water soluble, that's why it didn't taste very spicy. You need small molecules to react with the receptors on your tongue; the crystal is a pretty stable form that's not going to want to interact with the receptor. Dissolve it in a small amount of ethanol, or try some kind of fat. Conduct your taste test again.

I'm excited for the Capsaicin one! I'm a spice junkie lol I've considered buying pure cap because of how much I love spice. Add a crystal to my food when 5 ghost peppers won't cut it lol

Your extraction device reminds me of a Pythagorean cup!

Well it does work on the same principle! As does the siphon.

You can use an adjustable burr grinder to get more precise grind size
