Analytical method

( 1 )

For the identification of disodium 5'-guanylate (GMP) in the feed additive:

—

FAO JECFA monograph ‘disodium 5'-guanylate’

For the determination of disodium 5'-guanylate (GMP) in the feed additive, flavouring premixtures and water:

—

High performance liquid chromatography coupled to UV detection (HPLC-UV)

All animal species

-

-

-

1.

The additive shall be incorporated into the feed in the form of a premixture.

2.

In the directions for use of the additive and premixtures, the storage conditions and stability to heat treatment shall be indicated.

3.

On the label of the additive the following shall be indicated:

‘Recommended maximum content of the active substance when used alone or in combination with other ribonucleotides up to the same level per kg of complete feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 %: 50 mg’.

4.

The functional group, the identification number, the name and the added amount of the active substance shall be indicated on the label of the premixture where the use level on the label of the premixture would result in exceeding the level of active substance in complete feedingstuff referred to in point 3.
