glyoxylicadj.
/ɡlʌɪɒkˈsɪlɪk/ Chemistry.
glyoxylic acid n. the simplest aldehydic acid, obtained as a thick syrupy liquid, CHO·COOH, with a suffocating smell or as a hydrated crystalline solid, CH(OH)2·COOH; it is an important metabolic intermediate and occurs in animal and plant tissues and fluids, esp. in unripe fruit. Also called glyoxalic acid.
