aCompounds listed in the order of elution from an HP-5ms column. bRI = Retention arithmetic index calculated against a mixture of C9–C28n alkanes. cID = Peak identification mode: 1. identified by comparison of mass spectra; 2. identified by retention index matching; and 3. identified by comparing the constituent retention times with authentic constituents. The percentage for each population represents the average values of three samples. Compounds marked in boldface (with concentrations higher than 5%) were chosen for PCA statistical analyses. — = trace <0.1%.
