Meat odour and flavour and indoles concentration in ruminal fluid and adipose tissue of lambs fed green herbage or concentrates with or without tannins

open access: yesAnimal, 2009
A 2 × 2 factorial experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of herbage or concentrate feeding system and tannin addition to diet on skatole and indole in ruminal fluid and adipose tissue and meat sensory properties.

In vitro assessment of the effectiveness of non-nutritive sorbent materials as binding agents for boar taint compounds

open access: yesAnimal, 2011
Boar taint, an off-odor and an off-flavor in the meat from some uncastrated male pigs, is due to high levels of the testicular steroid hormone, androstenone, and the indole, skatole.

Genetic and metabolic aspects of androstenone and skatole deposition in pig adipose tissue: A review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
High levels of androstenone and skatole in fat tissues are considered the primary causes of boar taint, an unpleasant odour and flavour of the meat from non-castrated male pigs.

Effects of Added Boar Taint Substances (Skatole and Androstenone) on the Sensory Quality of Pork [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Meat samples with known levels of androstenone and skatole were used for sensory evaluation by trained panel and were characterized with an AlphaMOS Fox 4000 electronic nose. In case of skatole women tended to be more sensitive than men. In contrast, for

Biochemical, nutritional and genetic effects on boar taint in entire male pigs

open access: yesAnimal, 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 ...

qRT-PCR validations for ten DEGs in liver from boars with divergent skatole levels.

open access: yes, 2013
The validation was performed using the same RNA samples as used in the RNA deep sequencing (A); new group of boars with divergent skatole levels were created from the remaining 94 boars for the validation of the same DEGs using qRT-PCR (B).

Chestnut wood extract in boar diet reduces intestinal skatole production, a boar taint compound

open access: yes, 2016
Abandoning traditional practice of piglet castration will impact the pigmeat sector. As a consequence, there is a need for research aiming at reducing boar taint caused by androstenone and skatole.

Exogenous influences on skatole formation in the pig [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Castration of male piglets without anesthesia and analgesia has been an ancient and traditional practice in several European countries to prevent problems with boar taint.

Pore-Size-Specific Evaluation of Commercial Biochars for Apparent Removal of the Boar-Taint Compounds Indole and Skatole Under Fecal Matrix Conditions

open access: yesC
Indole and skatole are microbial tryptophan degradation products occurring in intestinal and fecal matrices and contribute to boar taint. Biochar is discussed as a carbonaceous adsorbent for reducing these compounds, but the link between pore-size ...

End-product inhibition of skatole-metabolising enzymes CYP1A, CYP2A19 and CYP2E1 in porcine and piscine hepatic microsomes

open access: yes, 2019
The hepatic cytochrome p450 enzymes 1 A, 2A19 and 2E1 is very important for the elimination of skatole from the body of pigs. Impaired skatole metabolism, results in skatole accumulation, which give rise to off flavor of the meat.
