Looking to make ethyl methylphenylglycidate taste good. Halp

[Amazingabby]

Hi there. I have a young daughter who is allergic to strawberry and I feel she misses out on it sometimes so I wished to make her a flavor replacement for baked goods and smoothies since I heard ethyl methylphenylglycidate can do so, so i bought some straight. But, I am having a tough time figuring out how to go about diluting it or adding to it. Anyone know where to begin?

hello Amazingabby,
short answer: Try oil, butter, yoghurt, milk or maybe sugar water with some citric acid or carbonated water. (descending likeliness)
Long answer:
Your molecule is not soluble in water (polar solvent) but in apolar solvents like oil. So the more fat content something has the more "strawberry aldehyde" can be dissolved in it.
Molecules can be lipophilic (~fat loving) or hydrophilic (~water loving). roughly one can say the less non carbon atoms it has the more lipophilic.

Thanks for this. I'll give it a shot this weekend!

When preparing dihydrazine sulphate, can I add hydrazine sulphate into water and add soda ash(Na2CO3) to prepare dihydrazine sulphate(H10N4O4S) ?
