Description
What it is. Benzyl benzoate is a flavouring substance obtained by chemical synthesis (CAS 120-51-4, purity > 99 %, formula C14H12O2). It belongs to functional group 2b of sensory additives (EU number 2b09727, FLAVIS number 09.727).
What it is for. It is used as a flavour in feed for all animal species, incorporated into feed as a premixture. Its use follows the common practice for flavouring substances in formulation, with no nutritional or technological function beyond organoleptic purposes.
Points to watch. The recommended maximum content of active substance is 5 mg per kg of complete feed at 12 % moisture; exceeding this level via the premixture requires specific labelling. Storage conditions and thermal stability must be stated on the additive and premixture labels, and personal protective equipment is required where residual risk to the user remains.
