1-Methoxy-4-methylbenzene

Additive Sensory additives Authorised in animal feed (EU)

Description

What it is. 1-Methoxy-4-methylbenzene (CAS 104-93-8, FLAVIS 04.015) is a flavouring substance obtained by chemical synthesis, with a purity of 99% and chemical formula C8H10O.

What it is for. It belongs to functional group 2b, flavouring compounds, and is used to impart or reinforce flavour in feed for all animal species. As a sensory additive it must be incorporated into feed via a premix. Use is generally based on the flavouring effect sought rather than on a nutritional function.

Points to watch. The additive label must state a recommended maximum content of active substance of 1 mg per kg of complete feed at 12% moisture; if the premix dose leads to exceeding this level, the functional group, identification number and added quantity must be declared. Storage conditions and thermal stability must be indicated, and operators must apply protective measures against inhalation and skin/eye contact, including personal protective equipment where risks cannot otherwise be reduced.
