Coal-tar creosoteCreosote Cre"o*sote (kr?"?-s?t), n. [Gr. ???, gen. ???, flesh
+ ??? to preserve.] (Chem.)
Wood-tar oil; an oily antiseptic liquid, of a burning smoky
taste, colorless when pure, but usually colored yellow or
brown by impurity or exposure. It is a complex mixture of
various phenols and their ethers, and is obtained by the
distillation of wood tar, especially that of beechwood.
Note: It is remarkable as an antiseptic and deodorizer in the
preservation of wood, flesh, etc., and in the
prevention of putrefaction; but it is a poor germicide,
and in this respect has been overrated. Smoked meat, as
ham, owes its preservation and taste to a small
quantity of creosote absorbed from the smoke to which
it is exposed. Carbolic acid is phenol proper, while
creosote is a mixture of several phenols.
