# Citral

CAS: 5392-40-5



Citral provides unmatched authentic lemon character with exceptional diffusion. This powerful aldehyde consists of two geometric isomers (Geranial and Neral) that impart slightly different nuances. Perfumers value its bright, zesty profile for creating realistic citrus impressions and adding fresh lift to compositions. Use Citral at 0.05-2% concentration with careful attention to formula stability. Combine with limonene for enhanced citrus effect or pair with florals for refreshing top notes. This material requires stabilization against oxidation and alkaline conditions, particularly in soap and detergent applications. — Fraterworks
