Description
What it is. Essential oil obtained by distillation of juniper berries (Juniperus communis L.). It belongs to the sensory additive category, functional group of flavouring compounds (2b), identified by CAS number 8002-68-4.
What it is for. This oil is generally used as a flavouring in animal feed, to influence the olfactory and taste profile of the ration. It would appear to have a cross-species use, with no particular species or physiological stage restriction described in the available documentation. Its use fits into a logic of palatability or sensory characterisation of the finished product.
Points to watch. No maximum content or quantified conditions of use are specified in the available sources; the current regulatory authorisation should be consulted for permitted levels. Like any natural flavouring substance, its composition may vary depending on botanical origin and extraction process.
