Citronella oil is classified in trade into two chemotypes:

Ceylon type

· CAS: 89998-15-2

· CAS: 8000-29-1

· EINECS: 289-753-6

· FEMA: 2308

· CoE: 39

· Obtained from: Cymbopogon nardus Rendle

· Consists of geraniol (18-20%), limonene (9-11%), methyl isoeugenol (7-11%),citronellol (6-8%), and citronellal (5-15%).

Java type

· CAS: 91771-61-8

· CAS: 8000-29-1

· EINECS: 294-954-7

· FEMA: 2308

· CoE: 2046

· Obtained from: Cymbopogon winterianus Jowitt

· Consists of citronellal (32-45%), geraniol (11-13%), geranyl acetate (3-8%),limonene (1-4%).

· The higher proportions of geraniol and citronellal in the Java type make it a better source for perfumery derivatives.The name Cymbopogon winterianus is given to this selected variety to commemorate Mr. Winter—an important oil distiller of Ceylon, who first cultivated and distilled the Maha Pangeri type of citronella in Ceylon.

Both types probably originated from Mana Grass of Sri Lanka, which according to Finnemore (1962) occurs today in two wild forms--Cymbopogon nardus var. linnae (typicus) and C. nardus var. confertiflorus. Neither wild form is known to be used for distillation to any appreciable extent.

Citronella oil from Cymbopogon species should not be confused with other similar lemony oils from Corymbia citriodora and Pelargonium citrosum.

The oil is used extensively as a source of perfumery chemicals such as citronellal, citronelloland geraniol. These chemicals find extensive use in soap, candles and incense, perfumery, cosmetic and flavouring industries throughout the world.

Citronella oil is also a plant-based insect repellent, natural citronella oil and its derivatives are preferred by the perfume industry.
