• Description: Citronellal hydrate is a chemical substance that is found in many essential oils, such as citronella, lemon grass, and citronella. It has been shown to have significant effects on the human metabolism and urine samples. Citronellal hydrate can be used as a preservative due to its ability to inhibit bacterial growth, including bacteria that are resistant to benzalkonium chloride. Citronellal hydrate also has been shown to have an effect on cell maturation, which may be predictive for the development of cancer cells. Citronellal hydrate is present in many natural products that are used in cosmetics and personal care products. It is a good analytical method for identifying the presence of other chemicals in a sample because it has been shown to react with molecules such as alcohols, amines, ketones, esters, and ethers. Citronellal hydrate reacts with these molecules by altering their mass through an electron-transfer process called triple-
