Overview

About Natural Citral in Philippines

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.

The Philippines' expanding cosmetics and personal-care category imports these grades under FDA-Philippines regulation, with GHS-compliant SDS expected. Manila (South Harbor) and Subic Bay are the gateways; ocean freight runs 10-18 days.
