ANNEX Identification number of the additive Additive Composition, chemical formula, description, analytical method. Species or category of animal Maximum age Minimum content Maximum content Other provisions End of period of authorisation mg of active substance /kg of complete feed with a moisture content of 12 % Category: Sensory additives. Functional group: Flavouring compounds 2b16058 Naringin Additive composition Naringin Characterisation of the active substance Naringin Extracted from citrus fruits Purity: ≥ 90 % (2S)-4H-1-Benzopyran-4-one,7-((2-O-(6- deoxy-alpha-L-mannopyranosyl)-beta-D- glucopyranosyl) oxy)-2,3-dihydro-5- hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl) Chemical formula: C 27 H 32 O 14 CAS number: 10236-47-2 FLAVIS number: 16.058 Analytical method ( 1 ) For the determination of naringin in the feed additive: — high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method coupled to an UV detector (European Pharmacopeia monograph 2.2.29). 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 per kg of complete feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 %: 5 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 referred to in point 3. 5. For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks resulting from their use. Where those risks cannot be eliminated or reduced to a minimum by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with personal protective equipment, including breathing protection. 27 February 2033 ( 1 ) Details of the analytical methods are available at the following address of the Reference Laboratory: https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/eurl/feed-additives/evaluation-reports
