chemical composition of poop

Posted 02.13.2004 by Poonurse (1313)

Toiletreader asks:

What are the chemical/physical/biological components of feces? What is skatol?


Dear Toilet Reader,

Thanks for the question!

Do you mean regular poo, or MY poo? My poo is made up of:

Smelly brown stuff
Wine

Skatol is:
(n.) A constituent of human faeces formed in the small intestines as a product of the putrefaction of albuminous matter. It is also found in reduced indigo. Chemically it is methyl indol, C9H9N.

or, if you prefer:

3-Methylindol Udskriv artiklen

Andre navne: Skatol, scatol

3-Methylindol er en indolforbindelse der dannes ved mikrobiel nedbrydning af aminosyren tryptophan. 3-Methylindol forekommer vidtspredt i naturen, fx i f¾ces, tobak, oste, m¾lk og grisek¿d (ornelugt). Forbindelsen har i meget svag koncentration en blomsteragtig lugt, medens den i h¿jere koncentrationer har en st¾rk f¾kal lugt. Finder anvendelse i parfume og forekommer i gylle. Forbindelsen er opl¿selig i de fleste organiske opl¿sningsmidler og svagt opl¿selig i vand.

MV= 131,17; SMP= 97-98oC; KP= 265-266oC; bruttoformel: C9H9N; CAS-nummer: 83-34-1

Please be advised that I am only a Poonurse. I am NOT a medical doctor. Any advice I give should be taken moderate skepticism. Please consult a REAL medical doctor if you feel you have a serious medical condition.

Looks like you used a mechanical translator on something that was written in Finnish.

Why does coyote poop not stink and dog poop does?

If a tree falls on a coyote, does he get little stars dancing around his head?

Huh??? I said scat to the cat after he shat on my hat. Drat. What does this have to do with scatol in my shat-all? Beats the hell out of me.

if translated into english from danish, it means: 3-methylindol is a indolforbindelse formed by microbial degradation of the amino acid tryptophan. 3 methylindol occurs widely dispersed in nature, such as ifces, tobacco, cheese, milk and grisekd (ornelugt). The link is very weak concentration in a flower-like smell, while the ihjere concentrations has a lusty fkal odor. Does the use of perfume and is present in manure. The link is soluble in most organic oplsningsmidler and slightly soluble in water.
