Geranial Oil, also known as Citral A, is a natural aromatic compound commonly derived from essential oils such as Lemongrass, Litsea Cubeba, and Lemon Myrtle. It is highly valued for its strong, fresh, lemon-like citrus aroma.
Geranial is the trans-isomer of citral and is widely used in the flavor, fragrance, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. It is known for its excellent fragrance performance, antimicrobial properties, and versatility as an aroma ingredient.
This oil plays a key role as a fragrance intermediate and flavoring agent, making it essential in modern perfumery and wellness formulations.
