Functional group: Flavouring compounds 2b142-eo — Expressed mandarin essential oil Additive composition Mandarin essential oil obtained from fruit peel of Citrus reticulata Blanco. Liquid form Characterisation of the active substance Expressed mandarin essential oil obtained by cold expression from fruit peel of Citrus reticulata Blanco as defined by the Council of Europe ( 1 ) . d-Limonene: 65–80 % γ-Terpinene: 13-22 % α-Pinene (pin-2(3)-ene): 1-3,5 % Myrcene:1-2 % β-Pinene (pin-2(10)-ene): 1-2 %. Methyl N-methyl anthranilate: 0,15-0,7 % Perillaldehyde: ≤ 0,063 % CAS number: 8008-31-9 FEMA number: 2657 CoE number: 142 Analytical method ( 2 ) For the quantification of phytochemical marker d-limonene in the feed additive: — Gas chromatography coupled with flame ionisation detection (GC-FID) (based on ISO 3528) Poultry Rabbits Salmonids — — 15 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. Mixture of expressed mandarin essential oil with other botanical additives is permitted provided that the amounts of perillaldehyde in feed materials and compound feed are lower than the one resulting from the use of a single additive at the maximum or recommended level for the species or animal category. 4. For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks by inhalation, dermal contact or eyes contact. Where those risks cannot be eliminated by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with personal skin, eye and breathing protective equipment. 20 March 2032 Suidae — — 33 Ruminants — — 30 Horses — — 40 Other animal species and categories except dogs, cats, ornamental fish and ornamental birds — — 15 ( 1 ) Natural sources of flavourings – Report No 2 (2007) ( 2 ) 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
