Description
What it is. Hop (Humulus lupulus L.) strobiles extract obtained by supercritical CO2 extraction, then treated with potassium hydroxide to form potassium salts of beta acids, dissolved in propylene glycol. Composition is characterised by a beta acids content and defined limits for alpha acids, hop oils, propylene glycol, ash and other resins, as set out in the additive specification.
What it is for. Classified as a sensory additive (functional group 2b, flavouring compounds), used for its aromatic properties. Authorised for weaned piglets and pigs for fattening, as well as minor porcine species at the same stages. As a flavouring substance, it is generally used to influence feed sensory characteristics, with inclusion levels set by the formulator within the regulatory framework.
Points to watch. A flavouring substance (2b) is subject to the specifications and maximum contents set in its authorisation entry; the manufacturer's official description and the regulatory annex take precedence over any other source. Storage conditions and the viscous liquid form of the extract should be taken into account for handling and dosing.
