Description

Eucalyptuscitriodoraoil/Citronellal is a key natural monoterpenoid aldehyde, primarily sourced from *Corymbia citriodora* (formerly *Eucalyptus citriodora*) oil. This compound matters for its intense, fresh lemon-citronella aroma and its versatile role as a chiral building block in organic synthesis. It is needed by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and agrochemical industries seeking high-purity, naturally derived intermediates.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: A primary raw material for imparting fresh, citrus, and floral notes in perfumes, cosmetics, soaps, and air fresheners.
• Flavoring Agent: Used as a flavor component in food products and beverages for its lemon-like character.
• Synthetic Intermediate: A crucial starting material for the synthesis of more complex fragrance compounds like hydroxycitronellal, menthol, and citronellol.
• Agrochemicals: Serves as a precursor in the production of certain insect repellents and pesticides.
• Aromatherapy & Wellness: Incorporated into essential oil blends for its uplifting and refreshing aromatic properties.
• Household Products: Used as a natural scenting agent in cleaning products and detergents.

Quality Control

Our Eucalyptuscitriodoraoil/Citronellal is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system. We ensure compliance with relevant industry standards for natural chemicals and fragrance ingredients. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing purity, enantiomeric ratio (if applicable), and impurity profiles, is provided with every batch to guarantee supply reliability and consistent quality for your production processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at 15-25°C. This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, filling the headspace with an inert gas (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended to maintain stability and purity.
