succinic acid	A water-soluble, colorless crystal with an acid taste that is used as a chemical intermediate, in medicine, the manufacture of lacquers, and to make perfume esters. It is also used in foods as a sequestrant, buffer, and a neutralizing agent. (Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 12th ed, p1099; McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed, p1851)
fumaric acid	see also record for ferrous fumarate; use FUMARATES for general fumaric acid esters
alpha-ketoglutaric acid
Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate	An aldotriose which is an important intermediate in glycolysis and in tryptophan biosynthesis.
glyoxylic acid	RN given refers to parent cpd
oxaloacetic acid	A dicarboxylic acid ketone that is an important metabolic intermediate of the CITRIC ACID CYCLE. It can be converted to ASPARTIC ACID by ASPARTATE TRANSAMINASE.
