Description
What it is. 2-Methylbutyl acetate is a flavouring substance obtained by chemical synthesis, with a minimum purity of 99 %, corresponding to FLAVIS number 09.286 (CAS 624-41-9). It is incorporated into feed in the form of a premixture.
What it is for. This additive belongs to the flavouring substances functional group (2b) and is generally used for its organoleptic properties, to provide or standardise an aromatic note in feed. It is authorised for all animal species, with no age or physiological stage restriction mentioned. The instructions for use of the premixture must specify storage conditions and stability to heat treatment.
Points to watch. The recommended maximum content of active substance is 25 mg/kg of complete feed at 12 % moisture; exceeding this threshold via the premixture requires reinforced labelling. Handling requires measures to prevent inhalation and skin or eye contact, with personal protective equipment worn if risks cannot otherwise be reduced.
