Control: 100% NaCl; Salt mixture I: 30% NaCl and 70% KCl; Salt mixture II: 30% NaCl, 50% KCl, 15% CaCl₂ and 5% MgCl₂; Volatile results are expressed as area units per gram of sample (AU × 10⁴/g of sample). Sig.: significance; ns: not significant; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; ^a–c Mean values in the same row (corresponding to the same parameter) followed by a different letter differ significantly (p < 0.05; Duncan’s test). m/z: Quantifier ion.
