Description
What it is. Lilac chastetree (Vitex agnus-castus L.) is a shrub whose fruits are processed into a tincture or extract. The product falls under sensory additives, functional group 2b, flavouring compounds.
What it is for. This type of aromatic extract is generally used to bring an odour or taste note to compound feed, in order to influence palatability. It would be used at low inclusion levels, alongside other flavouring components, across species and stages according to common industry practice.
Points to watch. No maximum content is specified in the available documentation; the usage level must be set according to the regulation applicable to flavouring substances. As a plant extract, batch-to-batch compositional variability should be expected, and storage away from light and moisture is recommended.
