Overview

About Natural Citral in Germany

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.

Germany is the largest European market for essential oils and aroma chemicals, with EU REACH and CLP applying and GSP preferential rates available on Indian-origin goods. Hamburg and Bremerhaven are the main gateways; air freight runs 5-8 days and ocean 22-30 days.
