Additive Sensory additives Authorised in animal feed (EU)

Description

What it is. Essential oil obtained by distillation of the leaves and twigs of Melaleuca viridiflora (niaouli), a plant of the Myrtaceae family. Its characteristic chemical composition includes terpenic compounds responsible for its distinctive odour.

What it is for. This additive belongs to the functional group of flavouring compounds (2b) and is generally used for its organoleptic properties, to modulate the flavour of feed for animals. Its common use relates to palatability of compound feed, without a specific documented target species or physiological stage here.

Points to watch. No maximum content is specified in the available sources; refer to the regulatory sheet and official description for conditions of use. As with any flavouring substance in group 2b, variability in composition depending on botanical origin and extraction process should be taken into account.
