Indigo CAS#482-89-3
Indigo, known chemically as indigotin, is a common blue dye that has been highly valued throughout history and has played a major role in trade and commerce since ancient times. The term indigo is often used to describe many blue dyes produced from a number of plants. For example, woad, a blue dye obtained from the plant Isatis tinctoria, was used throughout the Mediterannean and Europe and is often identified as indigo. True indigo comes from the leguminous plant of the genus Indigofera. |
