Application


  • Screening and In Silico Analyses of the Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae Σ1278b Bank Mutants Using Citral as a Natural Antimicrobial.: This study evaluates the antimicrobial properties of citral using yeast mutants, highlighting its potential as a natural antimicrobial agent in food safety applications (El Harati et al., 2024).

  • Exploring the binding affinity and characteristics of DcitOBP9 in citrus psyllids.: This research investigates the interaction between citral and the DcitOBP9 protein in citrus psyllids, offering insights into pest control strategies for citrus crops (Pei et al., 2024).

  • Synergistic anti-virulence efficacy of citral and carvacrol against mixed vaginitis causing Candida albicans and Gardnerella vaginalis: An in vitro and in vivo study.: The study demonstrates the enhanced anti-virulence effects of citral combined with carvacrol against pathogens causing mixed vaginitis, providing a basis for potential therapeutic applications (Jothi & Gowrishankar, 2024).

  • Effect of polyethoxylated flavonoids (PMFs)-loaded citral and chitosan composite coatings on citrus preservation: From the perspective of fruit resistance.: This research highlights the efficacy of citral in composite coatings to improve citrus fruit preservation by enhancing resistance against spoilage (Li et al., 2024).

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. What is the apparent molarity of Citral, Products W230316, C83007, and W230308?

    1 answer
    1. The apparent molarity of a neat liquid may be calculated from the density and molecular weight.  In the case of citral, the density is 0.888 g/mL and the molecular weight is 152.23 g/mole. By writing the density as 888 g/L, the calculation is 888 g/L divided by 152.23 g/mole = 5.83 mole/L, or 5.83 M.
