Out of curiosity, does anyone know if this or related compounds have a fruity or pleasant odor? I've done a bit of searching, but come up with
nothing.
I just received some cartons of <em>Sparkleen 1</em> (FisherBrand) in the mail, and noticed a very slight pleasant odor when I opened the
package. The <a href="http://fscimage.fishersci.com/msds/87000.htm">MSDS</a> claims the product is odorless. I'm a bit curious if it's
one of the listed compounds that I'm smelling, or if they add something which would fall under their "Non-hazardous ingredients" blanket. Obviously
it's not the Na<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>!
