This Comment presents thermograms which demonstrate that glass transition temperatures, Tgs, the change in heat capacity, ΔCp, and the quasi-invariant point, (C'g,T'g), of citric-acid/H2O are not consistent with those reported by Lienhard et al. This raises doubts about validity of their estimation of the excess mixing entropy difference, ΔS(l)mix-ΔS(g)mix, at the Tg.
