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

Table 3

Volatile compounds in Satureja montana (lot 1), their respective retention times (𝑡_𝑅), and semiquantitative evaluation of their relative contributions (%) to the overall volatile fraction* depending on the applied extraction method (mode 3(a) and mode 3(b)).

Volatile compound	1-Octen-3-ol	p-Cymene	γ-Terpinene	Carvacrol
No.**	5	9	10	15
Retention time (min)	8.01	8.81	9.12	13.56
Peak Area (%)
Mode 3(a)	0.32	0.31	0.40	92.97
Mode 3(b)	+	0.19	+	98.54

*values estimated from the respective peak heights.
** numbering of the volatile compounds in conformity with Table 1.
+ data falling between the limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ).
