Product Description
Citronella Blend complex aromatic ingredient for industrial and food formulations
Citronella Blend is a balanced botanical composition combining citronella, neroli, lemongrass, litsea cubeba and petitgrain essential oils. This aromatic raw material is designed as a versatile functional ingredient for multi industry manufacturing. The composition integrates highly volatile citrus components with stabilizing green and floral notes, creating a structured fragrance profile with controlled release and diffusion. It is compatible with oil carriers, alcohol systems, emulsions and surfactant formulations, ensuring efficient integration into manufacturing processes and consistent performance.
Functional properties and formulation role
The blend functions as a complete aromatic module combining multiple volatility layers. Citronella and lemongrass provide strong citrus herbal top notes, litsea cubeba enhances lemon character and stability, neroli adds softness and balance, while petitgrain connects the composition with green tonal notes. In emulsions it is introduced through oil phase, while aqueous systems require solubilization. In surfactant systems it disperses effectively and ensures stable aromatic behavior. It enhances fragrance projection and improves longevity.
Product performance and sensory outcome
In finished products, the blend delivers a clean citrus herbal profile with a smooth transition to green and floral notes. It ensures uniform fragrance distribution and stable perception during use. In liquid systems it improves diffusion of aromatic molecules. In emulsions it contributes to a light sensory feel. In diffusers and candles it provides consistent evaporation and long lasting aroma. In cleaning products it enhances freshness perception. In food flavor systems it is used to create citrus profiles with herbal nuances.
Application
Citronella Blend is widely used across industries. In Food & Beverage it is applied in flavor systems for beverages, syrups and functional liquids. In cosmetic manufacturing it is used in skin and hair care formulations. In SPA industry it is used in aromatic compositions. In fragrance production it is used in perfumes and home fragrances. In cleaning industry it is used in household products. It is also used in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical aromatic systems as well as private label manufacturing.
Recipe Concentrated citrus herbal surface cleaner
Purified water 500 ml
Decyl glucoside 120 ml
Coco glucoside 100 ml
Isopropyl alcohol 150 ml
Glycerin 40 ml
Polysorbate 20 35 ml
Citronella Blend 18 ml
Lemongrass Essential Oil 8 ml
Eucalyptus Essential Oil 6 ml
Preservative 5 ml
The process involves combining water and glycerin followed by adding surfactants with controlled mixing. Isopropyl alcohol is introduced to form the cleaning base. Aromatic components are pre mixed with polysorbate and incorporated below 35 degrees to preserve volatile compounds. Preservative is added and the system is stabilized until uniform.
Industrial scalability and manufacturing integration
The blend demonstrates high stability and reproducibility in industrial production. It simplifies formulation development and accelerates product implementation. Proper temperature control during addition is essential. The ingredient integrates easily into automated production lines and is suitable for large scale manufacturing across cosmetic, food flavor and cleaning industries.
