Overview

About Natural Citral in Saudi Arabia

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.

Saudi Arabia is a fast-growing importer of essential oils and aroma chemicals for fragrance, food and personal care, with SASO and SFDA governing imports. Jeddah Islamic Port and Dammam's King Abdulaziz Port are the gateways; air freight runs 3-6 days and ocean 9-15 days.
