Citronellyl formate is mainly used to prepare cucumbers, vegetable flavors, and can also be used to prepare plum, citrus flavors.
Citronellyl formate (C₁₁H₂₀O₂) is an ester derived from citronellol and formic acid, known for its floral, rosy, and slightly citrusy scent. It occurs naturally in essential oils like geranium and citronella but is often synthesized for commercial use. Primarily, it serves as a fragrance ingredient in perfumes, soaps, lotions, and cosmetics due to its fresh, pleasant aroma and good stability. It’s also used as a flavoring agent in foods and beverages at low concentrations and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS by FEMA). Additionally, it appears in aromatherapy products, candles, and household cleaners for scent enhancement. While not a potent insect repellent itself, it may support formulations containing citronellal or citronellol. Though typically safe, it can cause skin sensitization in sensitive individuals. Always used within regulated concentration limits in consumer products.
