5-Methylhept-2-en-4-one

Additive Sensory additives Authorised in animal feed (EU)

Description

What it is. Synthetic flavouring substance (FLAVIS number 07.139, CAS 81925-81-7), with chemical formula C8H14O, obtained by chemical synthesis with a minimum purity of 98 %. It belongs to functional group 2b of sensory additives (flavouring compounds).

What it is for. This additive is intended to be incorporated into feedingstuffs in the form of a premixture, for all animal species. Like other group 2b substances, it is generally used for its organoleptic properties, to modulate the aromatic profile of the feed. The additive label must state the recommended maximum content of active substance, set at 5 mg per kg of complete feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 %.

Points to watch. If the dose indicated on the premixture label would result in exceeding this recommended content, the label must then state the functional group, identification number and quantity of active substance added. Storage conditions and stability to heat treatment must be specified in the instructions for use. Personal protective equipment (respiratory, eye and skin protection) is required during handling if risks cannot be controlled by other measures.
