Description
What it is. Anethole isomer (trans-anethole), an aromatic substance with a CAS number 4180-23-8, used as a sensory feed additive (functional group 2b). It is a methoxy-propenyl-benzene compound characteristic of anise/fennel-type flavouring agents.
What it is for. It is generally used as a flavouring agent to support feed palatability and intake consistency. It would typically be applied in poultry and fish feeds, across standard production stages where flavour standardisation is sought. As with other 2b aromatic substances, its role is sensory rather than nutritional.
Points to watch. No maximum inclusion level is specified in the sources; usage should follow the applicable regulatory annex and official description. Being a flavouring substance, batch-to-batch sensory consistency and storage conditions protecting volatile aromatic compounds should be monitored.
