Citral is an important fragrance ingredient appreciated for its powerful lemon-aroma and is widely used in fragrance formulations in numerous consumer products. Citral is a common component of many essential oils, such as lemongrass and litsea cubeba oils. It may be produced synthetically or obtained from natural oils. Citral is generally recognized as a safe food additive and has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in foods (FDA, GRAS,21 CFR 182.60). The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) has issued a standard on the use of citral in fragrance formulations based on its allergenic potential (IFRA, 1980).
