GINGER GRASS: - As a medicinal plant, lemongrass has been considered a carminative and insect repellent. Lemongrass is used in herbal teas and other nonalcoholic beverages in baked goods, and in confections. Oil from lemongrass is widely used as a fragrance in perfumes and cosmetics, such as creams and soaps. Citral, extracted from the oil, is used in flavoring soft drinks in scenting soaps and detergents, as a fragrance in cosmetics and perfumes, and as a mask for disagreeable odors in several industrial products. Citral is also used in the synthesis of ionones used in perfumes and cosmetics. |
