Product Description

Skatole, like animal faeces”

Certified cider flavour standard used to train professional cider tasters to recognize and scale the intensity of skatole character. Skatole arises in cider through use of improperly cleaned or stored apples or as a result of poor hygiene standards in the fermentation process.This compound imparts an unpleasant, somewhat nauseating, faecal note to cider. It may contribute to flavour complexity when present at low levels.

Food grade | free from sensory impurities | extensively tested | safe to smell and taste.

IMPORTANCE

Skatole imparts an unpleasant, somewhat nauseating, faecal note to affected products. Incidents involving this flavour are thankfully uncommon. The compound adds complexity to cider at very low concentrations.

ORIGINS

Skatole arises in cider through use of improperly cleaned or stored apples, or poor hygiene in the fermentation process. The source of the flavour note is bacterial metabolism of tryptophan.

HOW TO TASTE

The best way to detect faecal notes in cider arising from skatole is as follows. Cover the sample with your hand and swirl the glass to release the aroma. Remove your hand and take a single long sniff. Repeat as necessary.

CAS NUMBER

The CAS registry number of skatole is 83-34-1.
