ID—identification of compounds; S—retention time and mass spectrum consistent with that of the pure standard and with NIST05 mass spectra electronic library; LRI—linear retention index consistent with that found in literature; MS—mass spectra consistent with that from NIST05 mass spectra electronic library or literature; n.i.—not identified. The compounds with only MS symbol in ID column were tentatively identified. The compounds for which pure standards were not available (without symbol S in the ID column) were quantified semi-quantitatively and their concentrations were expressed as equivalents of compounds with similar chemical structure assuming a response factor = 1. LRIexp—linear retention index obtained experimentally. Varieties: MI—Malvazija istarska, PO—Pošip, MA—Maraština, KR—Kraljevina, SK—Škrlet. Different superscript lowercase letters in a row represent statistically significant differences between mean values at p < 0.05 obtained by one-way ANOVA and least significant difference (LSD) test.
