Table A2.

Identified compounds found as part of cuticular wax of studied blueberry varieties. ≤LOD—concentration of substance was less than the limit of detection. Concentration of each substance expressed as g 100 g−1 of berry cuticular wax extract. Standard error of measurements was determined to be 3–6% (n = 18).
