You don't have to look at the label, just click on the movie link at the bottom right of the last page of the PDF. You will be brought to the Max Planck Society homepage. Then you can watch the quicktime movie, where they say water is added, with a citric acid catalyst, then it is heated for 12 hours at 180 degrees C.
However, they don't give us the pressure. They only mention it is heated in an autoclave. I wonder if a pressure cooker would work?
