In this video I demonstrate how to make the ester methyl benzoate which is the chemical mostly responsible for the smell of guava and Feijoa.
The purpose of this video was to demonstrate my unorthodox esterification method, and I'd love any feedback on this weird little method.

As always, don't attempt anything seen here unless you are trained to do so, but as far as my videos go this one is relatively safe.
BTW this chemical in its 100% pure state is nauseatingly sweet. Probably more pleasant diluted.
