Description
What it is. Orange essential oil obtained by cold expression of the peel of Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck, as defined by the Council of Europe. Liquid product, characterised by its volatile fraction rich in d-limonene (93-97%), with myrcene, sabinene, α-pinene, linalool, decanal and octanal in minor amounts.
What it is for. This additive belongs to the functional group of flavouring compounds (2b), intended for flavouring feedingstuffs. It is authorised for chickens and minor poultry species for fattening, laying hens and minor poultry species for laying and breeding, turkeys for fattening, all Suidae species (fattening, piglets, sows), ruminants, horses and other species except dogs, cats, ornamental fish and ornamental birds. The additive must be incorporated into feed as a premixture; the instructions for use must state storage conditions and stability to heat treatment.
Points to watch. Perillaldehyde is present below 0.05%; when mixed with other botanical additives, the total perillaldehyde contributed must remain below that resulting from a single additive at the maximum or recommended dose. Personal protective equipment (skin, eye, respiratory protection) is required where inhalation or contact risks cannot be excluded. A maximum level of 80 (unit not specified in the extract) is mentioned for turkeys for fattening; for the other listed species, no maximum level is indicated in the sources.
