Ketracel-white (or simply the white) was a compound that was required by the Jem'Hadar. The Jem'Hadar were created missing a crucial enzyme which Ketracel-white provided. It also provided them with the nutrients they required removing the need for them to eat or drink. (DS9: "The Abandoned", "To the Death")
Ketracel-white contaminated with hexatriol could turn Jem'Hadar into zombies. (Star Trek: The Stoneship Files: "Off Coverage")
