饲料添加剂 第10部分：调味和诱食物质 新甲基橙皮苷二氢查耳酮
GB 7300.1003-2024 is a current mandatory Chinese national standard for Feed additives—Part 10: Flavouring and appetising substances—Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone. It appears in the Food compliance cluster with a product safety focus and has an implementation date of Oct 1, 2025.
Applicability depends on product scope, certification route, competent authority notices and transition rules. Requst for the translation or verify source before using this record in a compliance decision.
Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to the feed additive Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone, specifically produced using neohesperidin as the raw material through a catalytic hydrogenation process. It is designed for manufacturers and regulatory bodies involved in the production, quality control, and trade of animal feed flavouring and appetising substances within China. It does not cover other types of feed additives or non-feed industrial uses of this chemical.
Technical requirements
The standard outlines the chemical identity, physical properties, and stringent physicochemical limits for the additive. It requires the product to appear as a white or pale yellow powder without visible impurities. Manufacturers must ensure the product meets specific minimum purity thresholds for the active ingredient on a dry basis. Additionally, the standard sets strict maximum limits for related compounds, such as naringin dihydrochalcone, as well as moisture and crude ash content. To ensure safety, it mandates extremely low maximum limits for heavy metals, specifically total arsenic and lead. Particle size distribution requirements are also defined to guarantee optimal mixing in feed formulations.
Testing methods
Compliance verification involves several analytical procedures. Identification is performed using Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) to match the sample against a standard reference spectrum. The quantification of the active ingredient and related compounds is conducted via High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) using an external standard method. Furthermore, standard referenced methods are utilized for determining moisture, crude ash, heavy metals (arsenic and lead), and particle size analysis using a sieve method.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 7300.1003-2024?
This standard specifically regulates the feed additive Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone, which is categorized under flavouring and appetising substances (Part 10 of the GB 7300 series).
Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 7300.1003?
As a newly released document (effective October 1, 2025), it establishes the first dedicated national standard for this specific additive, introducing strict limits on related compounds like naringin dihydrochalcone and standardized HPLC testing protocols.
How does GB 7300.1003-2024 differ from ISO standards?
The standard references Chinese national methodologies, such as using HPLC for purity quantification and referencing GB/T 13080 for heavy metal testing. While the analytical principles align with international practices, manufacturers must verify compliance using the exact Chinese GB testing methods specified.
