Citronellal

Description:

Citronellal is an organic compound classified as a monoterpenoid aldehyde, primarily known for its distinct lemon-like aroma. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in alcohol and ether, but only slightly soluble in water. Citronellal is naturally found in various essential oils, particularly in citronella oil, which is derived from the leaves and stems of certain species of lemongrass. Its molecular formula is C10H18O, and it features a carbonyl group (aldehyde) that contributes to its reactivity and fragrance properties. Citronellal is commonly used in the fragrance industry for perfumes and as a flavoring agent in food products. Additionally, it possesses insect-repellent properties, making it a popular ingredient in natural repellents. In terms of safety, citronellal can cause skin irritation in some individuals and should be handled with care. Overall, its versatile applications and pleasant scent make it a valuable compound in both industrial and consumer products.
