2.3 Meat classification and preparation
For this work, meat samples from castrated pigs and meat from three boars with different levels of boar taint were obtained at Danish Crown, Ringsted (Denmark). Boar meat was initially selected according to analytical measurements of the skatole equivalence and indole (Moretensen&Sorensen, 1984) using a colorimetic methodology and sensory evaluation of the back fat tissue in a sensory lab(human nose) on the day of slaughter (Meinert,Bejerholm,&Stoier, 2011). Later on, androstenone was chemically determined in back fat tissue by means of the method described by Aaslyng, De Lichtenberg Broge, Brockhoff,and Christensen(2015).
