ABSTRACT

Cymbopogon citratus belongs to the family Gramineae, which comprises approximately 500 genus and 8,000 herb species (Barbosa.0 /.,1874). It is globally known as Citronella grass or lemongrass. The prefix 'lemon5 owes to its typical lemon like odor, which is mainly due to the presence of citral, a cyclic monoterpene. Lemon grass is a tufted perennial grass growing to a height of 1 meter with numerous stiffleafy stems arising from short rhizomatous roots. It has an economic lifespan of about 5 years (Carianne de Boer.0 qL,2005).
