Chemical Information
FooDB NameCitral
DescriptionGeranial, also known as (2E)-geranial or alpha-citral, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyclic monoterpenoids. These are monoterpenes that do not contain a cycle. Thus, geranial is considered to be an isoprenoid. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Geranial.
