About Natural Citral in South Africa
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.
South Africa is the gateway to SADC, with NRCS oversight on regulated chemical imports and SA-GHS aligned to UN-GHS. Durban, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth are the primary ports; ocean freight runs 18-25 days.
