Description
What it is. Essential oil obtained by distillation of the leaves and twigs of Melaleuca cajuputi (= M. leucadendron L.), a tree of the Myrtaceae family. It is a natural aromatic substance used as a sensory additive in animal feed.
What it is for. This oil is generally used for its flavouring properties, to modulate the odour or palatability of compound feeds. Its use falls within the functional group of aromatic substances, with no claimed nutritional function. It would be used at low inclusion levels, according to common flavour formulation practices.
Points to watch. No maximum content or use level is specified in the available sources; the official description and regulatory annex should be consulted for these details. As an aromatic substance, its natural composition may show variability depending on origin and extraction process, which warrants quality control upon receipt.
