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 a major isolate in distilled oils from the plants Cymbopogon,[2] lemon-scented gum, and lemon-scented teatree. The (-)-(S)-enantiomer of citronellal makes up up to 80% of the leaf oil from kaffir lime leaves and is the compound responsible for its characteristic aroma.
Citronellal has insect repellent properties, and research shows high repellent effectiveness against mosquitoes.[3] Research shows that citronellal has strong antifungal qualities..
