Description
What it is. Essential oil obtained by cold expression of the peel of Citrus reticulata Blanco (mandarin). It is a natural aromatic substance, characterised by its composition of volatile terpene compounds typical of citrus peel oils.
What it is for. It is used as a sensory additive (flavouring) to influence feed palatability and olfactory characteristics. It is generally used for fish, cats and dogs, in formulations where modulation of feed aroma is sought. As with other flavouring substances, inclusion is generally limited to the minimum level needed to obtain the desired olfactory effect.
Points to watch. As a group 2b flavouring substance, its use follows the general conditions applicable to this functional category; no maximum content is specified here. Natural variability in composition linked to origin and extraction, as well as sensitivity to heat, light and oxidation during storage, should be taken into account.
