Backhousia citriodora extract

Backhousia citriodora extract (CAS 84775-80-4 ), derived from the Australian lemon myrtle plant, delivers a concentrated citral-dominant flavor and fragrance profile used across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Its high citral content positions it as a natural alternative to synthetic lemon and lime flavor systems where clean-label sourcing is a buyer priority for industrial applications. In food and beverage manufacturing, the extract functions as a natural flavoring agent.

It is commonly used in confectionery, teas, dairy products, and seasoning blends where an intense lemon character is required. Personal care formulators incorporate it into shampoos, body washes, and skin creams for fragrance and antioxidant stabilization.

Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications include use as a natural flavoring to mask bitterness in oral dosage forms and functional supplements. The extract also serves flavor and fragrance compounders as a botanical citral source.

This allows for building complex citrus flavor profiles without synthetic inputs. Backhousia citriodora extract is available as a liquid extract or essential oil, with standardized citral content typically specified for flavor and fragrance applications.

Food-grade and cosmetic-grade designations are the most commonly supplied market forms. Bulk supply is standard for industrial buyers, with smaller quantities available for formulation development and testing.
