Overview

About Natural Citral in South Korea

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 Korea runs a sophisticated market for aroma chemicals and extracts in cosmetics, oral care and confectionery, governed by K-REACH with Korean-language SDS expected. Busan and Incheon are the main ports; air freight runs 4-7 days and ocean 10-18 days.
