Description
What it is. Thyme tincture is a hydroalcoholic extract obtained from the dried aerial parts of Thymus vulgaris L. and/or T. zygis L. It is presented as a concentrated liquid preparation, characterised by its content of natural aromatic compounds of thyme, including thymol.
What it is for. This additive is generally used as a flavouring substance intended to improve the organoleptic characteristics of feed. It belongs to the functional group of sensory additives and is used in formulations where a thyme aromatic note is sought, across species, in line with the common use of this type of product. A study in lactating dairy cows explored the effect of thyme essential oil supplementation on the microbiological quality of raw milk, illustrating a research avenue without constituting a dosage reference.
Points to watch. As a group 2b flavouring substance, its use must comply with the provisions specific to this category, without exceeding the levels set by applicable regulation. The natural variability in tincture composition, linked to botanical origin and extraction process, warrants attention to product standardisation and storage conditions.
