摘　　要：Citral is a monoterpene aldehyde,which is the main chemical component of essential oils from Litsea cubeba and Cymbopogon citratus,as well as one of the most important representatives of open-chain monoterpene compounds.The lemon flavor released by citral is very strong,and thus,it is widely used in essence,spices,manufacturing of various foods and beauty and other industries.It has antibacterial,anti-inflammatory,antioxidant,anti-tumor,insecticidal and other biological activity.This paper reviewed citral in Lauraceae plants and its biological activity,in order to provide reference for the development and utilization of citral in Lauraceae plants and its diversified applications.
