Average data of 4 to 8 replicates. Values are in ng/g fresh weight. Id.: identification method (MS, Mass Spectrometry; KI, Kovacs Index; Std, standard compound data). Positive compound identification was obtained by matching both MS and KI or Standard compound data. Otherwise, putative (put.) best compound is listed. RI: retention index. aa: amino acid. n.d.: not detectable.
