Description
What it is. Ethyl 2-methylbutyrate is a flavouring substance obtained by chemical synthesis, with formula C7H14O2 (CAS 7452-79-1, FLAVIS 09.409), with a minimum purity of 95 %. It falls under the sensory additives functional group (2b), flavourings.
What it is for. This additive is intended to be incorporated into feed for all animal species, in premix form, to provide an aromatic note. Flavouring substances of this type are generally used to modulate the palatability of compound feed, without a specific nutritional function.
Points to watch. The recommended maximum content of active substance is 25 mg per kilogram of complete feed at 12 % moisture; exceeding this threshold via the premix requires specific labelling (functional group, identification number, name and quantity added). The instructions for use must specify storage conditions and stability to heat treatment, and personal protective measures (skin, eyes, respiratory tract) are required where exposure risks arise during handling.
