aCompound number (No.) according to linear retention index (LRI) from low to high.

bLRI: Linear retention index calculated on an HP-5 column.

cCompounds with * exhibited a significant difference, p < 0.05, compounds with **exhibited a highly significant difference, p < 0.001.

dSpecific ion (m/z) selected for relative quantification of each compound.

ePeak area of each compound, with log2-transformed value, calculated as the average of five replicates (n = 5).

fControl: fermentation sample without repeated freeze-thaw treatment.

gRFTT: fermentation sample with repeated freeze-thaw treatment.
