(-) Not detected; t, <0.05%. % Figures are their relative proportions as percent of total area, %(RSD), n = 3. The characteristic compounds are indicated in bold. H. cordata Thunb which are from Anmyeon Island, South Korea was used. Column: DB-624 (6% cyanopropyl phenyl polydimethylsiloxane, 1 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 µm) fused silica capillary column was used by GC/SAW. Ultra 2 (5% phenyl polydimethylsiloxane, 25 m × 0.25 mm × 0.33 µm) fused silica capillary column was used by HS-SPME-GC-MS. Sampling time: The headspace vapor of sample was swept into the trap inside the system at 25 °C for 1 s by GC/SAW. The SPME fiber was exposed to the headspace above the sample vial at 25 °C for 1 h by HS-SPME-GC-MS.
