  1. aRI indicates retention index. RI values were obtained from https://www.nist.gov.or.flavornet.org
  2. bExtracted ion from total ion scan was used for quantitation
  3. cThe circle represents presence of the volatile compound
  4. dVerified using a standard. Other volatiles were tentatively identified by searching the Wiley 9 and NIST 8 mass spectral libraries with < 80% match score as a cut-off and/or by comparing their Kovats’ retention index (RI)
