Citronella oil is one of the essential oils obtained from Cymbopogon sp. having medicinally important aromatic chemicals (like citronellal, citronellol, hydroxy-citronellol and geraniol) exhibiting insecticidal, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Geraniol Dehydrogenase (GDH) is responsible for the degradation of Citronella oil.
