In the article, it says, "Mucic acid is obtained by the oxidation of milk, sugar, dulcite,…." Mucic acid can be obtained by oxidizing D- or L-galactose or compounds containing these sugars or their derivatives. It can't be obtained from just any sugar. So I think there shouldn't be a comma between "milk" and "sugar". In other words, it should be "milk sugar," i.e. lactose.--Warut 14:47, 10 November 2006 (UTC)


Thanks Warut, for pointing out the error, the original text is from Britannica and I guess its adaptation to WIki was not flawless. Milk sugar already points to lactose. V8rik 17:03, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
