Trigonella foenum-graecum L.: Fenugreek extract

Additive Sensory additives Authorised in animal feed (EU)

Description

What it is. This is a plant extract obtained from fenugreek seeds (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.), used as a feed additive. It belongs to the flavouring substances, characterised by the natural aromatic compounds typical of the fenugreek plant.

What it is for. It is generally used as a flavouring additive to support feed palatability and intake in compound feeds. As with other sensory additives, inclusion depends on the target species, feed matrix and desired aromatic profile, and should be adjusted empirically by the formulator.

Points to watch. This is a flavouring substance (functional group 2b); official entries for this category are generic and do not specify a numerical maximum content. Batch-to-batch variability in composition is expected given the plant extract nature, and interactions with other aromatic additives should be checked case by case.
