Description
What it is. sec-Butan-3-onyl acetate is a flavouring substance obtained by chemical synthesis (CAS 4906-24-5, FLAVIS No. 09.186), with the formula C6H10O3, with a minimum purity of 98% for the assay.
What it is for. This additive belongs to functional group 2b (flavouring compounds) and is used for all animal species. It would generally be used to provide a flavouring note to compound feed, incorporated in the form of a premixture. As with other substances in this group, its use remains occasional and targeted at palatability.
Points to watch. The recommended maximum content of active substance is 5 mg/kg of complete feed at 12% moisture; above this level, this information must appear on labelling. Storage and stability conditions must be specified in the instructions for use of the additive and premixtures. Handling requires preventive measures against inhalation and skin or eye contact, with personal protective equipment where necessary.
