Description
What it is. Ethyl oleate is a flavouring substance obtained by chemical synthesis, with a minimum purity of 60% (CAS 111-62-6, chemical formula C20H38O2). It belongs to functional group 2b (flavouring compounds) under FLAVIS number 09.192.
What it is for. It is used as a sensory additive, incorporated into feed in the form of a premix, for all animal species. Flavouring compounds of this type are generally used to influence feed palatability and standardise the organoleptic profile of the finished feed. The product label must state the recommended maximum content of active substance per kilogram of complete feed (12% moisture).
Points to watch. The authorised maximum level on the label is 5 mg of active substance per kg of complete feed (12% moisture); exceeding it when using the premix requires specific labelling of the functional group, identification number and added quantity. Usage instructions must specify storage conditions and heat treatment stability. Handling requires measures against inhalation and skin/eye contact, including personal protective equipment where risks cannot otherwise be controlled.
