Description

Lemongrass Oil, Terpene Fraction is a concentrated, natural isolate derived from the steam distillation of Cymbopogon species, specifically enriched in the terpenoid components. This fraction is valued for its consistent aromatic profile and chemical composition, making it a reliable raw material for industrial applications. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and agrochemical sectors seeking natural, high-impact ingredients.

Application

• Fragrance & Perfumery: A key natural component in soaps, detergents, cosmetics, and fine fragrances for its fresh, lemony, and herbaceous top notes.
• Flavoring Agent: Used in food and beverage formulations to impart a characteristic citrus flavor, often in candies, baked goods, and herbal teas.
• Aromatherapy & Wellness: Incorporated into diffuser blends, massage oils, and topical preparations for its purported invigorating and clarifying properties.
• Agrochemicals: Serves as a natural base or active ingredient in insect repellents and biocidal products due to its citral content.
• Industrial Cleaning: Used as a natural scenting agent and degreaser in eco-friendly cleaning and household products.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: A source of natural terpenes like citral, which can be used in the synthesis of vitamins (e.g., Vitamin A) and other fine chemicals.
