Preparation of methyl ester and water

Reduced sample was undergone for hydrophobic pretreatment. Approximately
0.5g of methyl ester powder was placed in erlenmenyer flask and 0.5 g of mineralized
water was poured in the flask (50:50 w/w%). Following that, the mixture was stirred
until the solution is in homogenous form.
