a: Linear retention indices calculated of unknown compounds on a HP-Wax (60 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 µm) with a homologous series of n-alkanes (C6-C30). b: Odor description: odor description detected and described by panelists during olfactometry. c: Concentration: Results are as μg/g, calculated by the standard curves in Table 4. d: FD factor is the highest dilution of the extract at which an odorant is determined by aroma extract dilution analysis. e: OAV (odor activity values), concentration divided by odor threshold. f: Odor thresholds were unavailable. CN: concentration; FD: Flavor Dilution factor. AEDA: aroma extract dilution analysis.
