Description
What it is. trans,trans-Deca-2,4-dienal (FLAVIS 05.140, CAS 25152-84-5) is a flavouring substance obtained by chemical synthesis, with a minimum purity of 89 %, formula C10H16O. It belongs to functional group 2b of sensory additives (flavouring compounds).
What it is for. This additive is generally used to provide or reinforce a flavour note in compound feed, incorporated as a premixture. It is authorised for all animal species. The attached study, on maternal ATRA supplementation in piglets, does not relate to this flavouring use and provides no applicable inclusion level.
Points to watch. The label must state a recommended maximum content of active substance of 5 mg/kg of complete feed at 12 % moisture; exceeding this level via the premixture requires additional labelling. Storage conditions and stability to heat treatment must be specified in instructions for use, and protective measures (skin, eyes, respiratory tract) are required during handling.
