How to make Esters ? :)
Why do fruits have different smells ? :)
Basically this was the most fun part of my chemistry classes back in school. With all the dangers of Sulphuric Acid, fumes and pungent smelling ammonia, Esters provided some relief :)
They were good fruit-smelling hydrocarbons. They are basically present in every fruit you eat. Duh !!! that's why they are fruity smelling :)
Here is a small howto on how to make a Banana smelling ester :) :
