A Comparison of Methodical Approaches to Fingerprinting of the Volatile Fraction from Winter Savory (Satureja montana)

Table 1

Volatile compounds in Satureja montana (lot 1 and lot 2), their respective retention times (𝑡_𝑅), and semi-quantitative evaluation of their relative contributions (%) to the overall volatile fraction* depending on the applied extraction method (HS-80: headspace at 80°C; HS-100: headspace at 100°C; Deryng: mode 1; Clevenger: mode 2).
