Influence of the inflammatory status of entire male pigs on their pubertal development and fat androstenone

Animal, 2017
Androstenone production increases during pubertal development and plays a major role in boar taint. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a subclinical inflammation on the pubertal development of boars and hence on fat ...

Effect of genetic line and steroidogenic capacity on response to dietary supplementation of biochar to control fat androstenone levels in boars. [PDF]

J Anim Sci
Boar taint, an unpleasant odor in heated pork, is caused primarily by androstenone accumulation in fat. Previous research demonstrated that biochar (BC), a charcoal-based adsorbent, can reduce androstenone accumulation in the fat when used as a dietary ...

Optimizing Odorants for Olfactory Training Based on Olfactory Receptor-Ligand Pair Analysis. [PDF]

Laryngoscope
This study employs receptor–ligand interaction analysis and olfactory epithelium transcriptomics to optimize olfactory training (OT). A novel four‐odorant combination (galaxolide, eugenol acetate, [−]‐menthol, geranyl acetate) activates 83.9% of 385 human olfactory receptors (ORs), covering 69.9% of estimated OR expression—significantly outperforming ...

The Prevalence of Androstenone Anosmia [PDF]

Chemical Senses, 2003
It has been estimated that approximately 30% of the population is unable to detect the odor of androstenone. These estimates, however, were made using tests and criteria optimized for identifying detection. Such criteria favor Type II over Type I errors--that is, they are excellent at identifying true detectors at the cost of erroneously labeling some ...

Genetic variation of an odorant receptor OR7D4 and sensory perception of cooked meat containing androstenone. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Although odour perception impacts food preferences, the effect of genotypic variation of odorant receptors (ORs) on the sensory perception of food is unclear.

Genome‐wide population structure, homozygosity, and heterozygosity patterns of Nero Siciliano pig in the framework of Italian and cosmopolitan breeds

Animal Genetics, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 591-605, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Analysis of genomic data is becoming more and more common for the effective management of livestock breeding programmes, even in the case of local populations. In this work, the genome‐wide data of Nero Siciliano pig breed were compared to that of wild boar, Italian local and cosmopolitan breeds to investigate its genetic structure, and runs ...

Boar taint through the eyes of genetics: A comparison of the Czech indigenous pig breed and commercial breeds in four gene polymorphisms related to skatole and androstenone levels

Acta Veterinaria Brno, 2023
The problem of boar taint has recently become a frequent topic due to the ban on surgical castration of piglets without anaesthesia. Genetic selection based on markers that affect the molecular synthesis and degradation of the two main compounds of boar ...

Columns in analytical‐scale supercritical fluid chromatography: From traditional to unconventional chemistries

Journal of Separation Science, Volume 46, Issue 18, September 2023., 2023
Within this review, we thoroughly explored supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) columns used across > 3000 papers published from the first study carried out under SFC conditions in 1962 to the end of 2022. We focused on the open tubular capillary, packed capillary, and packed columns, their chemistries, dimensions, and trends in used stationary ...

From Molecules to Perception: Philosophical Investigations of Smell

Philosophy Compass, Volume 17, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Theories of perception have traditionally dismissed the sense of smell as a notoriously variable and highly subjective sense, mainly because it does not easily fit into accounts of perception based on visual experience. So far, philosophical questions about the objects of olfactory perception have started by considering the nature of olfactory
