Overview

About Natural Citral in Australia

Natural citral is the aldehyde responsible for the bright, fresh lemon character of lemongrass and Litsea cubeba oils, supplied here as a natural isolate. With its powerful citrus top note it is one of the most widely used aldehydes in flavour and fragrance work, adding lift to lemon-type beverages, confectionery, fine fragrance and household products.

Zentish Exim supplies natural citral from qualified Indian producers, with a minimum purity of 95% verified by GC, in containers from trial quantities to industrial drums.

Australia has an established market for these ingredients in cosmetics, food and pharmaceutical use, regulated under AICIS (formerly NICNAS) for industrial introduction. Most Chapter 33/29 oils and aroma chemicals enter duty-free. Sydney (Port Botany), Melbourne, Brisbane and Fremantle are the main ports; air freight runs 5-8 days and ocean 18-28 days.
