deletion tag[edit]

Sentences such as "The latter are therefore not reviewed or evaluated in this monograph addendum", "Glycerol ester of wood rosin was previously considered by the Committee at its eighteenth, twentieth, thirty-third, and forty-fourth meetings (Annex, references 35, 41, 83, and 116)", etc, strongly suggest this is just copied form some report by some committee.--Mongreilf (talk) 23:37, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eyeliner Pencil[edit]

Eyeliner pencil does not really fit in the sentence when the rest of the items are related to beverages. This should be moved to another sentence, and citation provided. Rmosler | ● 11:12, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Natural?[edit]

I removed the word natural from the text. If my understanding is correct, glycerol ester of wood rosin itself does not occur in nature. It is prepared starting from natural chemical compounds such as abietic acid or other rosin acids, but the esterification process to convert these compounds to glycerol ester of wood rosin is synthetic. -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:55, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Good call. AlanParkerFrance (talk) 11:07, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

More modifications to do[edit]

Nice work by Ed - the entry just shrunk a lot! However there is more to do. Ester gum is used in chewing gum too. Not sure what its role is there ... Plasticizer probably. Also the sentence about metabolism is complete rubbish. Estergum is not water soluble. The inchem entry explains in great detail that Estergum is eliminated in the faeces. Will make this mod when I figure out how to include references :-). Finally it would be nice to have a separate entry on "weighting agent" that linked to Ester gum, BVO and SAIB, the three products that play this role in beverage technology. At the moment the SAIB entry mentions the term, but no link. AlanParkerFrance (talk) 09:25, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article is indecipherable. I want to know if it has any food value or is carcinogenic.
