Could you please clarify/check the term “costic acid” The formula for costic acid is on this link http://www.plantphysiol.org/cgi/content/full/129/1/257/F5 but it is not likely that this aromatic acid otherwise found in costus root has anything to do with sugar industry

Hvala
neutral V&M Stanković : bravo koleginice Miro - u pravu ste, mogla bi i kiselina biti kaustična u smislu nagrizajuća, agresivna, jedino što ovde nije kaustična (caustic), već „costic" (vidite i komentar koleginice Veronike), mada je na nekim (kineskim) sajtovima costic=caustic?!
