The formation of androstenone conjugates from testes tissue of the mature boar.
, 2011 The accumulation of androstenone in the fat of mature boars results in boar taint; the conjugation of androstenone would decrease this important meat quality problem by decreasing the accumulation and increasing the excretion of androstenone.

An investigation of the efficacy of non-nutritive adsorption agents on decreasing androstenone levels in boars [PDF]
, 2009 Boar taint is as an unsavoury, 'urine-perspiration-like' odor which occurs when fat from some boars is heated. In recent years, investigations have focused on alternative methods besides castration for controlling boar taint; however, little is known ...

Effects of Added Boar Taint Substances (Skatole and Androstenone) on the Sensory Quality of Pork [PDF]
, 2011 Meat samples with known levels of androstenone and skatole were used for sensory evaluation by trained panel and were characterized with an AlphaMOS Fox 4000 electronic nose. In case of skatole women tended to be more sensitive than men. In contrast, for

CYP21 as a candidate gene for androstenone on boar taint
, 2010 The Cytochrome P450 steroid, 21 Hydroxylase (CYP21), is a positional candidate gene for boar taint caused by an excessive level of androstenone mainly in fat and muscle. CYP21 contains 9 introns and 10 exons and is located in the swine lymphocyte antigen
