Fig. 3.

Volatile emissions by L. sativa, E. vesicaria, and C. carvi seeds during storage at 35 °C and three moisture treatments: Humid (H, 0.099–0.131g g^–1), Dry (D, 0.042–0.063g g^–1), and Very Dry (VD, 0.030–0.039g g^–1). Bars represent average quantities (in percentage over total quantity) among storage times (<1200 days or when monitoring stopped) of major components: ethanol, methanol, acetaldehyde, hexanal, butane, pentane, acetone and a low-carbon ether or peroxide. Values above the bars are the average of total quantity of VOCs emitted (nmol g⁻¹). Total VOCs included all detected compounds except terpenes; bars do not sum to 100% because amounts of individual minor compounds are not shown.
