1 Sig.: significance; * and *** display the significance at 5% and 0.5% by least significant difference; ns: not significant. Values with different superscript roman letters (a-d) in the same raw are significantly different according to the Tukey’s range test (p < 0.05); 2 LRI—Linear Retention Index; 3 determined semi-quantitatively by measuring the relative peak area of each identified compound, according to the NIST [25] database, in relation to that of the internal standard.
