I need someone based in India who has a laboratory or access to one who can perform the esterification of citric acid to produce approximately 1 kg of trimethyl citrate. Key Details: - Strictly follow the correct procedure for esterification. - No extensive purity or costly tests needed; if done correctly, the product should meet requirements. - A simple burn test can be performed for validation: - The final product should burn without odor or visible fumes. - It should produce a bluish or pale blue flame when burned, with no yellow coloration. Additional Notes: Industrial/technical-grade purity is sufficient for my needs as long as these criteria are met. Please ensure proper packaging to ship the yield safely. I prefer an expert based in India to avoid international shipping costs.
