[1913 Webster]
1. (Chem.) A glucoside ({C14H17NO6}) obtained from woad
(indigo plant, {Isatis Tinctoria}) and other plants (see
{indigo}), as a yellow or light brown sirup. When purified
it is obtained as spear-shaped crystals. It has a nauseous
bitter taste. By the action of acids, enzymes, etc., it
breaks down into sugar and indigo. It is the source of
natural indigo. Chemically it is the 3-glucoside of
indole, H-indol-3-yl-[beta]-D-glucopyranoside.
