Citronellal is a naturally occurring monoterpenoid aldehyde that serves as the main component of citronella oil and other essential oils. This compound is characterized by its strong, fresh, lemon-like aroma with subtle floral undertones. As a key fragrance ingredient, it is widely utilized in the flavor and fragrance industry. Beyond its olfactory properties, citronellal is also valued for its insect-repellent characteristics, making it a preferred ingredient in natural repellent formulations. Its chemical structure also makes it an important intermediate in the synthesis of other fragrance compounds and menthol.
