Backfat was selected from non-castrated boar carcasses with boar taint detected at the slaughter-house by chemical analysis of scatole and androstenone content. Nine sausage batters of increasing scatole and androstenone content were produced, along with a control mix made from sow backfat. The all-round assessment of the pâté for low-androstenone-content batches (less than 1 µg androstenone per g fat) was equivalent to the control batch score. At upwards of 1.5 µg androstenone plus 0.15 µg scatole per g in the backfat, there is a sharp drop in all-round assessment of the end-product. Our analysis on Strasbourg-type fresh smoked sausage found that androstenone and scatole concentration had no effect on all-round consumer assessment scores. The recipe for Strasbourg-type fresh smoked sausage made with salt-cured backfat and soaked in liquid smoke appears to heavily influence product taste and odour and to mask boar taint. 2014 -Ifip-Institut du porc - All rights reserved Valorisation du gras de porcs non castrés à différents niveaux d’odeurs dans des saucisses fumées et pâté L’étude visait à évaluer l’acceptabilité de la saucisse type Strasbourg fumée et du pâté de campagne par un panel de consommateurs sélectionnés comme sensibles aux odeurs de verrat. Du gras de bardière issu de carcasses de mâles non castrés identifiées comme odorantes à l’abattoir par analyse chimique des taux de scatol et d’androsténone a été sélectionné. 9 mêlées de niveaux croissants en androsténone et scatol ont été réalisées ainsi qu’une mêlée témoin à partir de gras de femelles. L’appréciation globale du pâté fabriqué avec les lots faiblement chargés en androsténone (valeur en androsténone inférieure à 1 µg/g de gras) est équivalente au lot témoin. A partir d’une valeur en androsténone de 1,5 µg associée à des valeurs en scatol supérieures à 0,15 µg dans le gras, on observe une chute nette de l’appréciation générale du produit. Concernant la saucisse de Strasbourg fumée, l’IFIP a mis en évidence que la concentration en androsténone et scatol n’a pas d’effet sur l’appréciation globale par le consommateur. La recette de la saucisse de Strasbourg fumée élaborée à partir du gras de bardière bénéficiant d’une cuisson en salaison ainsi qu’un trempage des saucisses dans de la fumée liquide, semble influer fortement sur l’odeur et le goût, et masquer l’odeur de verrat.

These two products were chosen in consensus with French slaughterhouse and salt curing industry professionals. One is eaten hot, whereas the other is eaten cold. Material and methods Selection objectives on the low-to-high-taint fatback samples to be tested in the recipes This research programme consisted in recovering fatback from non-castrated boar carcasses with boar taint detected at the slaughterhouse by chemical analysis of scatole and androstenone content, for end-purpose of incorporating them into two charcuterie products: farmhouse pâté and soft-textured sausage. The two odour-active compounds were assayed by HPLC at the INRA’s Saint-Gilles-based lab Over a three month period, fatback samples were taken from all non-castrated male pigs under the UTOPIGE genetics programme slaughtered at the Cooperl slaughterhouse in Montfort-sur-Meu and from non-castrated pigs under IFIP research programmes at the Romillé experimental pig farm slaughtered at the Gatine Viandes slaughterhouse in La Guerche-de-Bretagne (i.e. 380 non-castrated 76 Les Cahiers de l’IFIP - Vol 1- n° 1 - 2014 Bardière découennée boars sampled, taking 1 to 2 kg fatback per pig). All fatback samples were vacuum-packed then frozen at -18°C until odour-active compound analysis by the INRA. Once the INRA had characterized the androstenone/scatole content of each fatback, the samples were ready to be taken to the Maisons-Alfort-based technological trialling space and manufactured into farmhouse pâté and Strasbourgtype fresh smoked soft-textured sausage by incorporating this odour-profiled fatback into the recipes. The odour-profiled fatback was incorporated into the farm-house pâté and soft-textured sausage recipes at low to increasingly high rates of androstenone/scatole content as schematized in Table 1.

In relation to our objective as set out in Table 1, a fairly drastic selection scheme had to be applied on the fatback samples (see Figure 1, Distribution of samples analyzed), with only 11% of the 380 samples available ultimately being selected for inclusion into homogeneous batches with the lowest standard deviations possible. 2014 -Ifip-Institut du porc - All rights reserved A letter of intent has been drafted by the EU and signed by the majority of EU pork industry value chains (European Declaration on alternatives to surgical castration of pigs). Under this agreement, we are committed to work towards ending the castration of pigs by 2018. LBreeding non-castrated male pigs results in 3–5% of boar carcasses naturally presenting a musky pheromone-dense odour that puts off a number of consumers, according to claims from the leading countries engaged in rearing non-castrated boars to sexual maturity. There is intensive research to develop a technology for in-slaughterhouse detection and out-sorting of carcasses with boar taint by rapid chemical analysis of odour-active compounds or sensory analysis by trained profilers. The IFIP has led numerous sensory testing studies (Chevillon et al. 2010, Bonneau et al. 2012) to validate the acceptability thresholds of various ready-processed or fresh pork products based on chemical levels of the odour-active compounds scatole and androstenone measured in pig fat. No study to date has assessed the sensory acceptability of high-taint fat from non-castrated boar carcasses with boar taint detected at the slaughterhouse by chemical analysis of odour compounds.

Les dégustations ont eu lieu selon les normes V09.105 dans le laboratoire d’analyse sensorielle Actalia situé à Caen. Les produits ont été présentés en conditions de lumière du jour. Chaque consommateur a reçu, pour chaque lot, une saucisse de Strasbourg entière réchauffée dans l’eau bouillante et immédiatement servie à une température de 60 °C. For tests on the farmhouse pâté, each consumer was given one 50 g slice of pâté per batch served at a temperature of 6–7°C with a salt-free cracker on which to taste the product. The consumer taste tests were completed by two groups counting close to 100 different people— consumers that participated in the three sausage tests were excluded from participating in the pâté tests. The IFIP planned to run hedonic-scale taste tests on the different batches by androstenone-sensitive consumers. The rationale was that although most people are scatole-sensitive, 50% of consumers are either androstenone-anosmic or can pick up the smell but do not find it offensive. Consequently, for this study, the IFIP invited ACTALIA to preselect (ahead of the test sessions) a panel of androstenone-sensitive and androstenone-averse people. Three hedonic like/dislike tests were led per product. At each per-product test, the androstenone-sensitive consumers scored four batches as per Table 3 below. The consumers were regular charcuterie buyers aged over 25 with a like-preference for knack-type sausages/ farmhouse pâté.

Other odour-active compounds responsible for boar taint-like smell may be implicated in this eaten-cold food. Discussion In conclusion, the consumer as selected in this trial (as androstenone-sensitive) does not register a very dislikeable taste or smell in three batches of Strasbourg-type fresh smoked sausage fabricated from increasingly boar taint compound-rich intact boar fatback compared to a control batch of sausages fabricated with sow fatback. This conclusion certainly holds true under our experimental testing conditions. i.e. with fatback used as raw material. Some meat-curers may want to opt for jowl fat which may be more odour compound-packed due to the fat-embedded salivary glands. These salivary glands are more androstenone and scatole-rich than the fatty tissue. Whittington et al (2011) measured far higher androstenone concentrations in a composite sample of “fat and muscle from the head along with salivary glands” than in the fatback from the same pig carcasses.
