The study aims at developing a rapid and robust mass spectrometric method capable of measuring the malodorous boar taint compounds androstenone and skatole in fat samples from male pig carcasses. The developed method is suited for use in commercial abattoirs as an at-line method to detect the presence of these compounds in carcasses or as a high-speed analysis in laboratories with high sample turnover. The chemical assay is based on salt-assisted liquid-liquid extraction and direct measurement with Laser Diode Thermal Desorption-Ta
