Citronella oil Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
Citronella oil is present as a repellent in many sprays that contain other repellents, pyrethrins, and synergists. These formulations have insecticidal and repellent actions against biting insects and flies on cattle, dogs, horses, and pigs. The major constituent of citronella oil is citronellal (to which the information below applies).
Chemical Properties
Sri Lanka (Ceylon) citronella oil is produced by steam distillation of fresh
or partly dried leaves and stems of the grass species Cymbopogon nardus
(L.) Rendle – the so-called lenabatu – cultivated in Sri Lanka. It is a pale
yellow to brownish liquid with a fresh, grassy, camphoraceous odor.
d2020 0.891–0.910; n20D 1.479–1.490; α20D ?25 ° to ?12 °; solubility: 1 vol in
not more than 2 vol of 80% ethanol at 20 ℃; ester number (after acetylation):
157–200; carbonyl number: min. 18, corresponding to min. 5% of carbonyl compounds (calculated as citronellal).The content of citronellal by
GC varies from 3% to 6%. Other typical constituents are borneol (4–7%),
citronellol (3–8.5%), geraniol (15–23%), and methyl isoeugenol (7–11%).
Sri Lanka (Ceylon) oil is less valuable than Java oil and is used almost
exclusively for perfuming toilet soaps, washing powders, and household
products. Annual production is only ～25 t.
Physical properties
The Ceylon oil is a pale yellow to yellowish-brown liquid. The Java-type oil is a clear, mobile, light yellow to brownish liquid.
Occurrence
