Indole’s Industry Footprint
According to an article from the archives by George S. Clark, “Indole is one of the first heterocyclic materials that became available to our industry, and is thus a member of a family of potent aroma chemicals that include the pyrazine subclass responsible for revolutionizing the flavor industry over the past two decades.”
Indole has a strong occurrence within florals, finding its way into nearly all floral creations, especially jasmine. Not only does this ingredient have a presence in florals, but also meat and seafood, fruit, dairy and fermented flavors too among others.
