'''Citral''' is an acyclic monoterpene aldehyde. Being a ], it is made of two ]s. Citral is a collective term which covers two geometric isomers that have their own separate names; the ] is named '''geranial''' (''trans''-citral; α-citral<ref name="Waghulde2020">{{cite journal |last1=Waghulde |first1=S. |last2=Parmar |first2=P. |last3=Mule |first3=J. |last4=Pashte |first4=D. |last5=Patil |first5=B. |last6=Modhale |first6=N. |last7=Gorde |first7=N. |last8=Kharche |first8=A. |last9=Kale |first9=M. |date=2020 |title=Lead Finding from Plant Cymbopogon Citratus with Immunomodulator Potentials through in Silico Methods |journal=Chemistry Proceedings |language=en |volume=3 |issue=1 |pages=77 |doi=10.3390/ecsoc-24-08302 |issn=2673-4583 |doi-access=free }}</ref>) or citral A. The ''Z''-isomer is named '''neral''' (''cis''-citral; β-citral<ref name="Waghulde2020" />) or citral B.

== Uses == == Uses ==
Citral is a precursor in the industrial production of ], ], ].


Citral is also precursor to ], ] and ].
Geranial has a strong lemon odor. Neral's lemon odor is less intense, but sweeter. Citral is therefore an ] used in perfumery for its citrus effect. Citral is also used as a flavor and for fortifying lemon oil. It also has strong ] qualities,<ref>{{cite journal | author = Onawunmi, G.O. |year=1989 | title=Evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of citral |journal=Lett. Appl.

===Fragrances===
Citral is used in the synthesis of ], ], and methylionone, and to mask the smell of smoke.
Citral has a strong lemon (citrus) scent and is used as an ] in perfumery. It is used to fortify lemon oil. (Nerol, another perfumery compound, has a less intense but sweeter lemon note.) The aldehydes citronellal and citral are considered key components responsible for the lemon note with citral preferred.<ref name=Southwell2021/>
