Table 5. Comparison of sensory evaluation of pork at different androstenone concentrations of porcine M. subscapularis muscle

Variable LC (n = 9) MC (n = 7) HC (n = 10)
Boar taint1) 5.29 ± 0.25b2) 5.47 ± 0.13ab 5.65 ± 0.14a
Gravy flavor preference3) 4.55 ± 0.10a 4.29 ± 0.08b 4.16 ± 0.03b
Meat boar taint1) 5.41 ± 0.05b 5.57 ± 0.08ab 5.69 ± 0.04a
Meat flavor preference3) 4.59 ± 0.03a 4.47 ± 0.01ab 4.20 ± 0.01b
Boar odor attributes are scored on a 9-point scale where1 point very weak ~ 5 points (control) ~ 9 points very strong.
The results are represented as the mean ± SE.
Flavor preference attributes are scored on a 9-point scale where 1 point very bad - 5 points (control) - 9 points very good.
Means with different superscripts differ (p <0.05).
LC, low concentration; MC, medium concentration; HC, high concentration.
