Lemon Scented Iron Bark Eucalyptus, also known as Australian Lemon Balm, Eucalyptus staigeriana was the traditional flavor ingredient for lemon cordial, an Australian drink similar to lemonade. It has been used in perfumery, toilet preparations, and some flavorings.
Lemon Scented Iron Bark is also effective in masking odors. Its lemony scented profile provides a more pleasant aroma than other more ‘medicinal smelling’ Eucalyptus oils.
“The major components methyl geranate, geranyl acetate, and beta-phellandrene are all non-toxic, non-irritating. This essential oil has established uses in perfumery. The citral components are said to be anti-infectious, antiviral, antiseptic, expectorant, anti-inflammatory and digestive stimuntant" (Webb). Published results from Wilkinson and Cavanagh (2005) demonstrate an exceedingly high in vitro zone of isolation result (>90mm) for Lemon Scented Iron Bark against Salmonella typhimurium. Manufacturers looking for a unique eucalyptus product which does not exhibit the intense, medicinal notes of Eucalyptus globulus will find this oil appealing.
