Citronellal or rhodinal or 3,7-dimethyloct-6-en-1-al (C10H18O) is a monoterpenoid, the main component in the mixture of terpenoid chemical compounds that
give citronella oil its distinctive lemon scent. Citronellal is also called “rhodinal” or “3,7-dimethyloct-6-en-1-al”, and its molecular formula is C10H18O.
Citronellal has insect repellent properties, and research shows high repellent effectiveness against mosquitoes. Research shows that citronellal has strong
antifungal qualities. Citronellal is a monoterpenoid with distinctive lemon scent.
citronellal is a naturally occurring essential oil found in multiple plant species. Citronellal is emitted from plants that are repellantto A. gambiae.
