In house validation of a reference method for the determination of boar taint compounds by LC-MSMS [PDF]
, 2014 Meat from male pigs may develop an off-flavour, commonly known as boar taint. For that reason male piglets are surgically castrated at young age to avoid the potential off-flavour formation.

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.

Yeast inoculation as a strategy to improve the physico-chemical and sensory properties of reduced salt fermented sausages produced with entire male fat [PDF]
, 2016 Yeast inoculation of dry fermented sausages manufactured with entire male fat was evaluated as a strategy to improve sausage quality. Four different formulations with entire male/gilt back fat and inoculated/non-inoculated with Debaryomyces hansenii were

Gut microbiome‐derived metabolites show promise in cancer research and therapy
Interdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 2, March 2026.The metabolites produced by the gut microbiome, which are subject to regulation by multiple factors, play a pivotal role in the progression of various types of cancer. These metabolites not only function as potential biomarkers for the early detection and monitoring of tumor development, but also actively participate in cancer therapeutic processes ...
