boar taint analysis
Using stable isotopically labeled standards the boar taint compounds androstenone, 3α- and 3β-androstenol, skatole und indole are analysed. We take your back fat, meat juice or biopsy sample.
Whether single samples or large series – we are your reliable partner in all aspects of boar taint analysis.
The stable-isotope dilution assay developed at ELFI Analytik is suggested for inclusion into the EU reference method for boar taint analysis!
In case you are interested we suggest the following publications. Please do not hesitate to contact us!
