Description
What it is. Essential oil obtained from the leaves, stems or flower buds of the clove tree (Eugenia caryophyllus / Syzygium aromaticum). It is a sensory additive belonging to the functional group of flavouring compounds (2b), identified by CAS number 8000-34-8.
What it is for. This oil is generally used as a flavouring substance intended to modulate the odour or palatability of feed. It would be used across species, in line with common practices for aromatic additives of this category. Its use fits a palatability or odour-masking purpose rather than a nutritional one.
Points to watch. No numerical maximum content is available in the documentation provided; refer to the official description and the regulatory annex for conditions of use. As with any essential oil, compositional variability depending on botanical origin and extraction process should be anticipated, with attention to storage away from light and heat.
