Characterisation of the active substance

L-valine ((2S)-2-amino-3-methylbutanoic acid) produced by Escherichia coli KCCM 80159

Chemical formula: C 5 H 11 NO 2

CAS number: 72-18-4

Analytical method

( 1 )

For the identification of L-valine in the feed additive:

—

Food Chemical Codex "L-valine monograph"

For the quantification of valine in the feed additive:

—

ion exchange chromatography coupled with post-column derivatisation and photometric detection (IEC-VIS)

For the quantification of valine in premixtures, feed materials and compound feed:

—

ion exchange chromatography coupled with post-column derivatisation and photometric detection (IEC-VIS) – Commission Regulation (EC) No 152/2009  ( 2 ) (Annex III, F)
