Polyols#Polyols_in_Food_science looks to me like a copy of http://www.spipolyols.com/whatarepolyols.html while Polyols#Applications looks like a copy of http://www.spipolyols.com/applications.html - sadly User:V8rik disagrees with me. -- Henrygb 00:12, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
This is clearly plagiarized material. The use of the word "successfully" under the Applications section is a dead non-NPOV give-away. Henrygb is correct, this page is plagiarized almost entirely word for word. How one claims that a verbatim copy has been rewritten is beyond me. -- Oasisbob 10:57, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
The original entry was an exact copy. The original website was not difficult to track down. Now there are two options 1. deletion outright 2. modify the text trim it down and make it acceptable under fair use with citing the website as a reference. Option 1 is okay but option 2 was chosen (see history). Now Henrygb still sees plagiarism in the text and has two options: 1. delete it the entire text and let the first effort (trimming down, rewording & provide links) go to waste 2. trim it down even further so that now even Henrygb is content with it. This user choose option 1 which I oppose because the initial effort made is not appreciated and potential Wiki material destroyed. V8rik 17:53, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

The lead sentence A polyol is an alcohol containing multiple hydroxyl groups. is correct.
Issues:
The article makes no mention of Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) which is unambiguously a polyol — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xiiophen ( talk • contribs) 07:57, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
The definition is internally inconsistent. It currently states:-
A polyol is an organic compound containing multiple hydroxyl groups. The term "polyol" can have slightly different meanings depending on whether it is being used in the field of food science or that of polymer chemistry. A molecule with more than two hydroxyl groups is a polyol, with three – a triol, and with four – a tetrol. By convention, polyols do not refer to compounds that contain other functional groups.
Two is multiple - hence consistent with the first sentence - but the third sentence excludes materials with only two hydroxyl groups. This is unfortunate as the text uses diols, polyether polyols, and polyester poyols as examples of polyols, each of which have only two hydroxyl groups.
Suggested change for second sentence "A molecule with two or more hydroxyl groups is a polyol, with two - a diol, with three – a triol, and with four – a tetrol."

For such a big subject in my opinion this article is short on references. I will see what I can add and work on the article. GRALISTAIR ( talk) 02:31, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
I hope nobody minds but I have started some major work on the article. I will be adding quite a lot of references and citations. I know Wikipedia is always a work in progress but that definitely applies to this article. GRALISTAIR ( talk) 17:18, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
I have started putting in references to quality scientific peer reviewed journals. GRALISTAIR ( talk) 14:20, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
