Overview

About Natural Citral in UK

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 UK post-Brexit operates its own UK REACH alongside GHS/CLP classification, and most aroma chemicals enter at 0% duty under the UK Global Tariff. Felixstowe, London Gateway and Southampton are the principal seaports; air freight runs 5-8 days and ocean 20-30 days.
