Summary

The vapour/liquid equilibrium coefficients for the steam distillation of indole and skatole from water solution over the range of concentrations 0·1 to 20–30 ppm. were found to be 2·4 and 4·7, respectively. The coefficient for indole in a cream containing 30% fat was found to be 0·31, and for skatole, in a cream containing 40% fat, 0·14. It is concluded that complete removal of indole and skatole contaminations from cream by use of steam distillation equipment is not commercially practicable.
