Table 2.

GC-EI-MS relevant peaks in the chromatograms of the labdanum absolutes and fractions extracted (Figures S1–S4), relative quantification in relation to the major peak area (+: 2–10%; ++: 10–50%; +++: 50–90%; M: 90–100%), tentative identification based on Kovats retention index (RI) and fragmentation m/z- ions pattern compared to NIST database (Match), and identification using standards (grey).
