*The compound was identified by comparison of mass spectra with mass spectra from NIST 05 (21)

§The compound was identified by comparison of retention indices with the ones obtained from the NIST 05 mass spectra library (21)

#The compound was identified by comparison of retention indices with the ones in the literature (1Wei et al. (14), 2Kato et al. (22), 3Siegmund and Murkovic (10)). Different lowercase letters in the same row indicate significant difference between samples (Tukey’s test, p≤0.05)
