3-Methyl-2(pent-2(cis)-enyl)cyclopent-2-en-1-one

Additive Sensory additives Authorised in animal feed (EU)

Description

What it is. This is a flavouring substance obtained by chemical synthesis, chemically close to jasmone (C11H16O, CAS 488-10-8, FLAVIS No. 07.094), with a minimum purity of 98%.

What it is for. It belongs to functional group 2b (flavouring compounds) and is authorised for all animal species. It must be incorporated into feed in the form of a premixture. As a sensory additive, this type of substance is generally used to influence feed flavour and palatability.

Points to watch. The additive label must state a recommended maximum active substance content in complete feed (12% moisture) of 0.3 mg/kg for pigs and poultry and 0.5 mg/kg for other species and categories. If a premixture dose leads to these levels being exceeded, the functional group, identification number, name and added quantity of the active substance must appear on the label. Storage and stability conditions must be specified in the instructions for use of the additive and premixtures.
