Description
What it is. Beta-ionone is a flavouring substance obtained by chemical synthesis (minimum purity 95 %, formula C13H20O, CAS 14901-07-6, FLAVIS number 07.008). It belongs to the sensory additives functional group (2b).
What it is for. It is used as a flavouring additive in complete feed for all animal species, incorporated in the form of a premixture. It is intended to impart or reinforce an odour/taste note in the feed. The additive label must specify storage conditions and stability to heat treatment.
Points to watch. The recommended maximum content of active substance is 5 mg/kg of complete feed (12 % moisture) for salmonids, calves and dogs, and 1 mg/kg for other species or categories. If the dose indicated on the premixture label would result in exceeding this level, the label must state the functional group, the identification number and the quantity of active substance added. Personal protective measures (skin, eyes, respiratory tract) are required where exposure risk cannot be otherwise controlled during handling.
