Overview

About Natural Citral in USA

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.

US buyers use these grades across cosmetics, flavor and fragrance formulation, with food-contact use governed by FDA rules and industrial use by TSCA. Los Angeles/Long Beach, New Jersey and Savannah are the main entry points; air freight runs 7-10 days and ocean 25-35 days from Indian west-coast ports.
