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.

Consumer perception of boar meat as affected by labelling information, malodorous compounds and sensitivity to androstenone [PDF]
, 2022 S.248-256This study aimed to assess the influence of two label conditions on the acceptance of boar meat. A central location test was conducted with 145 consumers each assessing 4 pieces of pork loin.

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 ...

Characterization of eQTLs associated with androstenone by RNA sequencing in porcine testis [PDF]
Physiological Genomics, 2019 Characterization of genetic variants affecting genome-wide gene expression levels (expression quantitative trait loci or eQTLs) in pig testes may improve our understanding of genetic architecture of boar taint (an animal welfare trait) and helps in genome-assisted or genomic selection programs.

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 ...

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.
