类固醇5α-雄酮-16-烯-3α-醇有明显的麝香气味。它是野猪信息素的主要成分。它也出现在男性的腋下汗液中，但没有雄激素活性。用放射免疫法和气相色谱-质谱联用法都证明了黑孢霉中含有这种类固醇，含量为40-60 ng/g鲜料。这就解释了为什么猪能够探测到地下1米深的松露。
The steroid 5.alpha.-androst-16-en-3.alpha.-ol has a pronounced musk-like scent. It is a major constituent of the pheromone of the boar. It occurs also in axillary sweat of men but is devoid of androgenic activity. The presence of this steroid was demonstrated in truffles (T. melanosporum) both by radioimmunoassay and by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in quantities of 40-60 ng/g fresh material. This offers an explanation for the ability of pigs to detect truffles growing as deep as 1 m under ground.
