A chemical compound or functional group related to citral or derived from citrus-based molecules, used in organic chemistry and fragrance synthesis.
From 'citry-' (relating to citrus or citral) plus '-lidene' (double bond chemical suffix indicating C=C bonding). A technical chemistry term combining descriptive and structural notation.
Citrylidene compounds are often used to create synthetic lemon and citrus scents—perfumers use chemistry to bottle the aroma of nature without needing thousands of actual lemons!
