So, what is indole?

Indole is a naturally occurring organic compound that can be found in a variety of foods such as cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and kale. It is also a component of many perfumes and is responsible for the distinct aroma of jasmine flowers. Indole has been shown to have potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. It is also a precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood, appetite, and sleep. Indole's unique chemical structure and potential health benefits make it an interesting ingredient to study and incorporate into a variety of applications, from pharmaceuticals to flavorings.
