Product Details
Cas: 5392-40-5
Fema: N/A
Description courtesy of Basf - Natural identical substance (main component of many essential oils like lemon grass, litsea cubeba etc.), therefore very useful for fresh, citrus-like, agrumic notes. Limited stability, if exposed to air, alkali and sunlight. Not recommended for detergents and household products.
Description courtesy of Arctander - "Widely used as a powerful Lemon-fragrance chemical, but suffers from poor stability in many types of functional products. Air, alkali and daylight have a deteriorating influence upon this aldehyde, and Anthranilates, Indole, Quinolines and many other perfume chemicals form dark colored reaction products with Citral. Accordingly, its use is somewhat restricted and there is a low limit of concentration of Citral for most perfumes.
Olfactory research during the past few decades has confirmed that Nitriles often have odors similar to those of the corresponding Aldehydes, and this is how Geranyl nitrile (see that monograph) has become increasingly popular in perfume compositions.”
