:Description
Citral is an acyclic monoterpenoid aldehyde consisting of two geometrical isomers, geranial (citral A, trans-citral, or the E-isomer) and neral (citral B, cis-citral, or the Z-isomer). Isomer geraniol has a lemon-like smell, and isomer neral has a less intense and sweeter lemon-like smell. Found in Pelargonium crispum, Cymbopogon citratus and limon. Citral is a key component of essential
