Citral Extra is a naturally occurring similar compound (the primary ingredient in numerous essential oils, including lemon grass, litsea cubeba, etc.), making it excellent for adding fresh, citrusy, agrumic notes. Due to its fresh citrus note, it is frequently used in flavor compositions to mimic lemon, grapefruit, orange, and lime. Apple, cherry, strawberry, and other fruits also benefit from its use. It is highly stable in the use of fine fragrances, shampoos and softeners.
