DOI: 10.1093/jas/skz258.159
Abstract: Boar taint is a meat quality issue characterized by an off-odour or off-flavour in pork caused primarily by the accumulation of androstenone in the fat, but sensory estimates of boar taint do not always correlate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jfpp.13580
Abstract: In order to valorize tainted meat from entire male pigs, two options exist in the production of different meat products: either to dilute tainted meat or to mask off-odors in the final product. Processing steps… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12863-020-00865-z
Abstract: Background Due to ethical reasons, surgical castration of young male piglets in their first week of life without anesthesia will be banned in Germany from 2021. Breeding against boar taint is already implemented in sire… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0192673
Abstract: Boar taint is an offensive odour and/or taste from a proportion of non-castrated male pigs caused by skatole and androstenone accumulation during sexual maturity. Castration is widely used to avoid boar taint but is currently… read more here.

DOI: 10.2754/avb202392020181
Abstract: The problem of boar taint has recently become a frequent topic due to the ban on surgical castration of piglets without anaesthesia. Genetic selection based on markers that affect the molecular synthesis and degradation of… read more here.

Nuclear Receptor Pathways Mediating the Development of Boar Taint
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Metabolites"
DOI: 10.3390/metabo12090785
Abstract: The nuclear receptors PXR, CAR, and FXR are activated by various ligands and function as transcription factors to control the expression of genes that regulate the synthesis and metabolism of androstenone and skatole. These compounds… read more here.
