Characterization of peat, limnic, and mineral horizons in Eastern Canada Histosols
Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 4, July/August 2026.Abstract North American populations rely on a supply of fresh produce from drained and cultivated Histosols. However, peat thickness decreases over time due to many soil degradation mechanisms, gradually giving way to limnic and mineral soil materials in the vadose zone, generally viewed as less fertile and affecting soil chemical properties. More soil

Eating Quality of Pork from Entire Male Pigs after Dietary Supplementation with Hydrolysable Tannins
Animals, 2023 Boar taint is an unpleasant odour and flavour released during heat treatment of pork from uncastrated male pigs. The two main compounds responsible for boar taint are androstenone and skatole. Androstenone is a steroid hormone formed in the testis during

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2026.Fermentation, enzymatic hydrolysis, and enzymatic crosslinking are emerging pre‐treatments to improve the sensory properties of extruded plant‐based meat alternatives. This review critically examines current literature to identify underlying mechanisms, benefits, and key research gaps associated with these pre‐treatments.

Influence of Different Plant Extracts on CYP-Mediated Skatole and Indole Degradation in Pigs
AnimalsOne of the primary substances responsible for the unpleasant odor in boar meat is skatole. Enzymes belonging to the cytochrome P450 (CYP) family play a pivotal role in the hepatic clearance of skatole.

Concentrations of Boar Taint Compounds Are Weakly Associated with Sexual Behavior of Young Boars
Animals, 2022 Strategies to control boar taint (BT) in meat relies on the reduction of skatole, indole, and androstenone concentration. This might have unfavorable effects on the libido of breeding boars.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 634-646, May 2026.Despite severe habitat loss, insect species richness, seasonal fluctuations in richness and temporal β‐diversity did not differ significantly among forests adjacent to the mudflow and reference sites. We found higher wet‐season species richness for ants, bees, butterflies and dung beetles, while termites showed no seasonal change; β‐diversity was ...
