Description
What it is. Pennyroyal oil (Mentha pulegium L.) is an essential oil obtained from a Lamiaceae plant, used as a feed flavouring. It is registered under CAS 8013-99-8, as a complex mixture of volatile aromatic compounds typical of mint essential oils.
What it is for. This substance belongs to the sensory additive group, functional group 2b (flavouring compounds). It would generally be used to influence feed palatability and olfactory/organoleptic characteristics. As with other flavouring substances, actual inclusion levels depend on the finished feed formulation and target species.
Points to watch. As a group 2b flavouring substance of botanical origin, natural composition variability between batches should be expected. No maximum content figures are provided here; the official entry and its annex should be consulted for any applicable conditions of use.
