Any advice is helpful!...thanks
Simple and cheap kitchen chemistry advice was requested. An now ... tztztz

And now:
A laboratory and expensive, hard to get, solvents.

One thing I'd like to know about saturation is if different molecules in a solution (say, proteins and sugars) affect the solution's saturation level of each or if they can double up. That is, if it takes 100 units of sugar to saturate a solution, would 50 units of protein and 50 units of sugar produce the same or a closely similar result? Or can it hold 100 units of sugar and 100 units of protein before crystalization of either substance?
It is possible and called supersaturation. Especially organic substances tend to build supersaturated solutions. This can happen while trying to get a purified substance via recrystalization. (to get "Pure Crystals" ) There are less seed crystals in supersaturated solutions than in normal solutions.
No seed - No crystal. One of many possible reasons to fail!
