Table 1.

List of metabolites detected by the analytical platforms that significantly contribute to the metabolic differences of fresh and stored basmati varieties as determined by partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) (Color table online)

Metabolites were ranked in descendant order of the rank products that was determined by double cross validation. Mean and standard deviation (sd) of the metabolites of the different compared varieties is given. For clarity, colour codes indicate the higher (red) and lower (blue) values for each
