message: Neither of the lab syn is done in reall! But the benzaldehyde is the source for unwanted benzoic acid. For more complicated aromatic acids all three methodes are used. Even the synthesis from the dichloride and the alcohl is used.--Stone 22:44, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello
I would suggest to add, in the medicinal headline, the use of benzoate as a supplement in diet in cases of urea cycle impairment, especifically in cases of impairment in one of the two first enzymes of the cycle (carbamoyl phosphate synthetase and ornithine transcarbamoylase).
Benzoate is used in these cases because it is activated to benzoyl CoA and then, reacting with glycine, it forms hippurate. Hippurate therefore contains the amino groups that need to be excreted and can be used as a terminal metabolite instead of urea. (sorry for my poor english) (Information from Stryer's Biochemistry, 4th edition)

Also, what does the creation of nylon have to do with feedstock?
Please remove this comment if I'm just missing something.

message: The melting point is 122 °C (and not 129 °C), which is equal to 395 K.  I corrected it. Let me know if you think I am wrong. SLeclerc (talk) 19:03, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That matches what is reported in the MSDS linked from the infobox.  Thanks for the correction.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 00:34, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

message: The statements in regard to "international food law" require more than a minimal list of citations. WHO is also not a "legal" entity- in that it does not legislate laws, therefore citation to them does not establish a reference to the argument. I would expect to see at least ten citations representing at least ten separate countries that have some sort of legislation regulating as alleged in the article, since there is alleged to be an "international consensus" of law- otherwise I will remove the statement on the basis of failed verification of combined credible sources. 71.91.178.54 (talk) 20:37, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I have altered the wording.  I suspect the writer intended to mean something along the lines of "controlled internationally by various food laws".  -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:43, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

message: The link to Salkowski in the History section is taken from here and is misinterpreted. What it actually says is "Such acids as salicylate [whose antifungal action has been known since 1875 (von
Meyer & Kolbe, 1875; Salkowski, 1875)], sorbate and acetate...". In other words salicylate, sorbat and acetate were known in 1875 to be antifungal, not benzioc acid. Wyatt Tyrone Smith (talk) 16:01, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
