Indole 3 Carbinol raw material CAS 700-06-1

1. Agriculture
Plant protection agents

Disease and pest resistance: I3C induces disease resistance in plants, e.g. by activating plant defence genes and mitigating diseases caused by fungi, bacteria or viruses (e.g. black rot in cruciferous vegetables).

Natural pesticide: It has repellent or inhibitory effects on certain pests (e.g. aphids, nematodes), reducing the use of chemical pesticides.

Feed additives

Promote animal health: added to animal feed can regulate intestinal flora, enhance immunity and reduce antibiotic dependence. For example, it can improve intestinal health and reduce the risk of infection in poultry farming.

2. Food industry
Natural preservative

Using its antioxidant properties to inhibit lipid oxidation and microbial growth in food, prolonging shelf life (e.g. meat, oil and fat food preservation).

Functional food ingredients

Added to nutritionally fortified foods or health products as functional ingredients for anti-cancer and anti-oxidation (e.g. broccoli extract capsules).

3. Chemical and material synthesis
Intermediate for organic synthesis

As raw materials for the synthesis of other indole compounds, such as the preparation of drugs (e.g. anti-cancer drugs), spices or dyes.

In pesticide synthesis, as structural units to develop new low-toxicity insecticides or fungicides.

Bio-based materials development

Research on their application in degradable plastics or polymer materials, using their antioxidant properties to enhance material stability.

4. Environmental Protection and Biotechnology
Wastewater Treatment

Removal of pollutants (e.g. heavy metals, organic toxins) from industrial wastewater by microbial degradation or chemical adsorption, subject to further research on efficiency and economy.

Biofuel Additives

Explore its potential as an antioxidant for biofuels to retard oxidative deterioration of fuels.

5. Emerging uses in research and development
Catalysts for industrial enzymatic reactions

To enhance the activity of specific enzymes (e.g. oxidoreductase) as cofactors in biocatalytic processes.

Cosmetic Industry

As anti-aging or anti-inflammatory ingredients added to skin care products
