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 ...

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

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 12, Issue 9, Page 6720-6734, September 2024.Entire male pork sausages reduced in fat and with vegetable fiber are positively perceived by consumers. Reduced‐fat entire male pork sausages with vegetable fiber can be an option for marketing this meat. Consumers consider castration to be justified if it improves the sensory perception of entire male pork.

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.

Developing and Understanding Olfactory Evaluation of Boar Taint
Animals, 2020 Trained expert panels are used routinely in boar taint research, with varying protocols for training of panelists and scoring methods. We describe a standardized process for training and scoring, to contribute to standardize the olfactory detection of ...

Effect of faecal soiling on skatole and androstenone occurrence in organic entire male pigs
Animal, 2015 Production of entire male pigs could be a future strategy for organic pig production. However, production of entire males leads to increased risk of carcasses with elevated boar taint levels.

Biochemical, nutritional and genetic effects on boar taint in entire male pigs
Animal, 2009 Pork odour is to a great extent affected by the presence of malodorous compounds, mainly androstenone and skatole. The present review outlines the current state of knowledge about factors involved in the regulation of androstenone and skatole in entire ...

AnimalBoar taint risk in pork highly depends on fat tissue concentrations of androstenone and skatole, and indole to a lower extent. During pubertal development, androstenone is increasingly produced by testes and accumulates in fat tissues. Skatole and indole
