More about Citronella Essential Oils
Features : A hardy grass, grown mainly in Sri Lanka and java though also found in Burma, Madagascar Guatemala and south America. It was formerly known as andropogon nardus. The plant reaches to about three feet and has long slender leaves which flower when left in their natural state. Preference is given to distillation of the dried grass rather than the fresh material which would require too much fuel and is said to yield an oil of less agreeable odour.
History & Myth : Originally grown in Sri Lanka and came into vogue in the last century. The first shipment of oil to Europe was known as ‘oleum siree’. Sri Lanka was the main exporter until 1890, when java started producing the oil, apparently of superior quality. It contained greater quantities of geraniol [alcohol] and has a stronger odour. The Sri Lankan oil had evidently been adulterated with kerosene to reduce its price. For some time, citronella was a popular ingredient in wax candles which helped to deter mosquitoes. The oil is used extensively as an ingredient in perfumes, soaps, skin lotions, polishes, detergents and deodorizing cosmetics. Adds an interesting aroma to some Chinese food flavours.
