Colorimetric method for hippuric acid.

Because this compound is comparatively inert chemically, identification requires isolation and the determination of physical constants after extensive purification. There has long been need for a reliable and sensitive color reaction ...

Reduced formation of hippuric acid after oral benzoic acid in Friedreich's ataxia.
