General description
Skatole is an indole derivative with a strong fecal odor that occurs naturally in feces formed due to the degradation of tryptophan. It is found in several flowers such as jasmine owing to its flowery smell when present in low concentration. Skatole is also one of the key contributors to the development of boar taint in fat samples.
Application
- Microbiome-metabolomics analysis reveals abatement effects of itaconic acid on odorous compound production in Arbor Acre broilers.: Investigates the impact of itaconic acid on the microbiome and metabolomics profiles of broilers, significantly reducing skatole production, which is a key contributor to odors in poultry (Zhu et al., 2023).
- Postmortomics: The Potential of Untargeted Metabolomics to Highlight Markers for Time Since Death.: Discusses the potential of untargeted metabolomics in forensic science to identify time-since-death markers, including skatole, which is relevant in decomposition studies (Pesko et al., 2020).
- A versatile method for producing labeled or unlabeled Aß55, Aß40, and other ß-amyloid family peptides.: This article describes methods for producing peptides in biochemistry, including skatole, used in research contexts related to protein misfolding diseases (Zerweck et al., 2019).
- Chemical-Mediated Digestion: An Alternative Realm for Middle-down Proteomics: Explores alternative methods for protein digestion in proteomics, using chemical mediators including skatole to facilitate the process, offering new avenues for the study of protein structures and functions (Srzentic et al., 2018).
