The VIP column represents the VIP score obtained for each compound (see the method section for details). The CPCs in bold are the 87 major ones, identified as discriminant by the PLS-DA analyses with VIP values greater than 1. Underlined are the first-quartile of the 87 major CPCs (also represented in Fig. 6 and Sup. Figure 1).
