Stability of Citral-Containing and Citralless Lemon Oils in Flavor Emulsions and Beverages

The storage stability of lemon oil treated to remove citral has not been reported. This investigation was conducted to compare the stabilities of citral-containing and citralless lemon emulsions (EC and ECL) and beverages (BC and BCL) during storage at different temperatures by both gas chromatographic and sensory analyses.

HPLC-NMR — a Powerful Tool for the Identification of Non-Volatiles in Lemon Peel Oils

Citrus peel oils are of great importance for the flavor and fragrance industry because they are widely used in perfumes, beverages, food and cosmetic products. Many publications cover the analysis of the volatile substances of peel oils.

A New Method of Separation of Citral from Lemongrass Oil

Although many methods are known for the separation of citral from lemongrass (Cymbopogen flexuosus) oil, like fractional distillation, adduct formation and regeneration, the purity and the yield of citral as separated are not satisfactory. A new method for separation of citral in pure form and in near quantitative yield uses the column chromatographic technique. This method may also be adapted for large scale separation of citral and hence can be of commercial importance.
