Buyer Education — Natural vs Synthetic Citral
Natural Citral (plant-derived)
Solvent-free route with traceability for clean-label claims.
Lemongrass cultivation → Steam distillation → Crude lemongrass oil → Fractional distillation → Citral enrichment → Purification (solvent-free) → Natural Citral (≥85%)
Takeaway: Clean-label & regulated markets — validated by GC/GC-MS & C-14.
Synthetic Citral (petrochemical)
Multi-step chemical synthesis yielding high nominal purity but no natural origin marker.
Crude Oil → Propylene → Oxidation → Aldol Condensation → Prenol → Methylheptenone → Catalytic Isomerization → Citral (Synthetic, 95%+)
Takeaway: Lower cost, high-purity option — not clean-label; limited regulatory acceptance.
