2-Dodecenal

Additive Sensory additives Authorised in animal feed (EU)

Description

What it is. 2-Dodecenal is a flavouring substance obtained by chemical synthesis, with a purity of at least 93% and chemical formula C12H22O (CAS 4826-62-4, FLAVIS 05.037). It belongs to functional group 2b, sensory additives, flavouring compounds category.

What it is for. It is used as a flavouring additive in feed for all animal species, incorporated via a premix. As with other 2b flavouring substances, it is generally used to standardise or modulate feed organoleptic characteristics; no specific species, stage or technological function beyond flavouring is documented here.

Points to watch. The label must state a recommended maximum level of 5 mg of active substance per kg of complete feed at 12% moisture; if the premix dose risks exceeding this level, the premix label must specify the functional group, identification number, name and added quantity of the active substance. Instructions for use must indicate storage conditions and thermal processing stability, and operators must implement measures against inhalation, skin and eye contact risks, including personal protective equipment where needed.
