What does SKATOL mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A white crystalline compound with a strong faecal smell, formed in the gut and found in coal tar, used in small amounts in perfumery.
Skatol is an organic substance produced when bacteria break down protein in the intestines, and it is one cause of the smell of faeces. Chemists also isolate it from coal tar. In very small doses it has a flowery note, so perfumers have used it as a fixative. The name comes from the Greek word for dung.
