Description
What it is. Essential oil obtained from Hyssopus officinalis L. (= H. decumbens Jord. & Fourr.), an aromatic plant of the Lamiaceae family. It is a flavouring substance identified by CAS number 8006-83-5, obtained by extraction from the plant material.
What it is for. This oil is used as a sensory additive, functional group 2b (flavouring compounds), intended to influence the organoleptic properties of feed. It is referenced for dogs and cats, where it would generally be used to make feed more palatable or to bring a characteristic aromatic note. As with other flavouring substances, use is generally limited to small inclusion levels adapted by the formulator.
Points to watch. As a group 2b flavouring substance, no maximum content is specified here; actual use levels must comply with current regulatory annexes. Composition of the essential oil may vary depending on plant origin, harvest and extraction process, which can affect sensory consistency; store away from light and heat to preserve aromatic quality.
