Botanical Origin

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) is a tropical grass commonly grown throughout Southeast Asia.

The leaves contain aromatic compounds responsible for the plant’s characteristic citrus scent. When distilled, the leaves yield an essential oil that captures the sharp citrus-herbal fragrance of the grass.

Lemongrass is widely used in cooking, herbal preparations, and aromatic products.

Extraction

Lemongrass essential oil is obtained through distillation of the plant leaves.

During distillation, heat releases volatile aromatic compounds present in the leaves. These vapors condense after cooling to produce essential oil.

The resulting oil is typically pale yellow to light amber and carries the fresh citrus-herbal aroma of lemongrass.

Composition

Lemongrass essential oil contains naturally occurring aromatic compounds including:

• citral (neral and geranial)
• geraniol
• limonene
• other aromatic terpenes

These compounds contribute to the oil’s sharp citrus scent and strong aromatic character.

Natural variation in composition may occur depending on harvest conditions and plant maturity.
