Description
What it is. Tea extract obtained by solvent extraction from the leaves of Camellia sinensis (synonyms Thea sinensis L., Camellia thea Link.). It is a sensory additive belonging to the functional group of flavouring compounds (2b), identified by CAS number 84650-60-2.
What it is for. This extract is generally used as a flavouring substance in pet food, particularly for cats and dogs. It contributes to the sensory profile of the feed without any claimed nutritional function. Its use fits within formulations aimed at modulating palatability or acceptability of the finished product.
Points to watch. As with any flavouring substance of group 2b, use must remain consistent with the official description and the provisions of the applicable regulatory annex, without exceeding any level set therein. The composition of the extract may vary depending on leaf origin and extraction process, which warrants attention to batch-to-batch quality consistency.
