Pastinaca sativa L.: Nutritional Composition, Phytochemistry, and Pharmacological Properties Supporting Its Potential as a Functional Food and Therapeutic Agent

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Food‐grade processing of Pastinaca sativa (parsnip) converts a nutrient‐rich plant matrix (dietary fiber, fructans, phenolics) through washing/slicing/enzymatic treatment and ingredient preparation into functional food ingredients, including fiber concentrates, antioxidant‐rich fractions, and parsnip powders/extracts.

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 ...

Investigation of the efficacy of immunocastration aimed at the prevention of sex odour in boar meat [PDF]

Acta Veterinaria, 2012
Disadvantage of meat known as boar taint is caused by steroids, androstenone being of particular importance, as well as indole and its derivatives, among which the best known is skatole. The common practice in Europe, in order to control these changes

Assessing boar taint in Portuguese pork: A small-scale study of prevalence and classification via established detection thresholds

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research
Aim of study: To assess the boar taint prevalence in the Portuguese pork industry through an observational study model by measuring skatole and androstenone levels in fat and to compare it with the estimated thresholds for these compounds among ...

Gene expression profiles in liver of pigs with extreme high and low levels of androstenone

BMC Veterinary Research, 2008
Background Boar taint is the unpleasant odour and flavour of the meat of uncastrated male pigs that is primarily caused by high levels of androstenone and skatole in adipose tissue.

Combined Effect of Dietary Protein, Ractopamine, and Immunocastration on Boar Taint Compounds, and Using Testicle Parameters as an Indicator of Success

Foods, 2020
This study investigates the combined effect of immunocastration, dietary protein level (low, medium or high) and ractopamine hydrochloride supplementation (0 or 10 mg/kg) on the adipose concentrations of androstenone, skatole and indole in pigs, and ...

Wider Than the Sky: An Alternative to “Mapping” the World Onto the Brain

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 62, Issue 4, August 2025.
Challenging the topographic paradigm: The olfactory system's dynamic organization and phenomena like representational drift challenge traditional spatial mapping models, advocating for flexible, rule‐based frameworks in neuroscience. Dynamic, context‐dependent encoding: Experience‐dependent plasticity and morphological computation in olfaction ...

Olfactory perception of 5α-androst-16-en-3-one: Data obtained in the residents of central Russia

Data in Brief, 2022
This dataset describes olfactory perception of androstenone (5α-androst-16-en-3-one) in residents of central Russia (n=807, 9-84 years old). Based on previous studies, 3.13 × 10−3% androstenone was utilized for sensory testing. A modified two-alternative

A quantitative comparison of the deleteriousness of missense and nonsense mutations using the structurally resolved human protein interactome

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract The complex genotype‐to‐phenotype relationships in Mendelian diseases can be elucidated by mutation‐induced disturbances to the networks of molecular interactions (interactomes) in human cells. Missense and nonsense mutations cause distinct perturbations within the human protein interactome, leading to functional and phenotypic effects with ...

Pig meat quality from entire males

Animal, 2009
This paper constitutes an updated review of the production and meat quality aspects of rearing entire male pigs. Since a major obstacle in rearing entire males is the incidence of boar taint, possible methods for detection are also summarised.
