(E)-beta-Damascone / / formerly tr-1-(2,6,6-Trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)but-2-en-1-one

Additive Sensory additives Authorised in animal feed (EU)

Description

What it is. Aromatic substance obtained by chemical synthesis (FLAVIS number 07.224, CAS 23726-91-2), with a minimum purity of 90 %, chemical formula C13H20O. It belongs to functional group 2b of sensory additives (flavouring compounds).

What it is for. This additive is generally used to provide an aromatic note to compound feed, across all animal species. It is incorporated into feed as a premixture. As with other flavouring substances in this group, its use aims to modulate the feed's olfactory or taste profile rather than provide nutritional input.

Points to watch. The recommended maximum content of active substance is 0.05 mg/kg of complete feed (12 % moisture) for sea-based aquaculture animals, and 5 mg/kg for land-based aquaculture animals and other species or categories. If the dose indicated on the premixture label leads to exceeding these thresholds, the label must state the functional group, identification number and quantity of active substance added. Storage conditions and stability to heat treatment must be specified in the instructions for use.
