Characterisation of the active substance Essential oil derived by steam distillation from the dried rhizomes of Zingiber officinale Roscoe as defined by the Council of Europe (1). — α-zingiberene: 29–40 % — β-sesquiphellandrene: 8–14 % — ar-curcumene: 5–12 % — α-farnesene: 4–10 % — camphene: 2–10 % — β-bisabolene: 2–9 % CAS number: 8007-08-7, EINECS number: 283-634-2 FEMA number: 2522 CoE number 489 Liquid form Analytical method (2) For the quantification of alpha-zingiberene, beta-sesquiphellandrene and ar-curcumene in the feed additive: — Gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) (full scan mode) using Retention Time Locking (RTL) methodology (or standard substances of the phytochemical markers) with (or without) gas chromatography coupled to flame ionisation detection (GC-FID) based on the ISO 11024 standard method. 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 and premixtures the following shall be indicated: ‘Recommended maximum content of the active substance per kg of complete feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 %: — veal calves (milk replacer): 80 mg, — other species or categories of animals: 20 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. The mixture of ginger essential oil with other authorised additives obtained from Zingiber officinale Roscoe shall be not be allowed in feedingstuffs. 6. 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 or reduced to a minimum by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with personal protective equipment, including breathing protection, safety glasses and gloves. 12 April 2031
