Overview of Citral Extra

Citral Extra is a natural citrus aldehyde known for its strong lemony, green, and bright citrus aroma. It has a higher geranial content, giving it a sharper, more vibrant top note compared to regular citral.

Because of its purity and strong citrus impact, Citral Extra is widely used in flavors, fragrances, and insect-repellent formulations.

Applications of Citral Extra

1. Flavoring

  • Offers citral extra benefits in flavoring, especially for lemon, lime, and mixed-citrus profiles.

  • Used in beverages, syrups, candies, and citrus concentrates for a fresh lemon peel taste.

  • High geranial boosts natural citrus sharpness and freshness.

2. Fragrance & Colognes

  • A strong citrus-green top note for colognes and fresh eau de cologne styles, and it blends especially well with the bright grapefruit-woody freshness of Isobionics Natural Nootkatone 70.

  • Adds brightness to perfumes, body mists, soaps, and deodorants.

  • Helps lift and energize citrus, herbal, and fresh-clean fragrance themes.

3. Natural Insect Repellent Formulation

  • Commonly used for natural insect repellent formulation because of its citrus aldehyde activity.

  • Added to sprays, essential-oil blends, and outdoor products as a natural repellent booster.

4. Home & Industrial Use

  • Used in cleaners, detergents, and household fragrances for a strong lemon-clean scent.

  • Added to natural aromatics and terpene blends for freshness and top-note lift.

Safety & Handling Guidelines

  • Avoid direct contact with concentrated aldehyde.
