aRetention indices in DB-wax column

bMethod of identification: S, by comparison of mass spectrum and retention time with those of standard compounds; MS, by comparison of mass spectrum with those included in the NIST 11.0

cOdor descriptions are mainly gathered from following literatures: Chen et al. (2016), Selli et al. (2009, 2012), Duarte et al. (2010)

dThresholds are mainly obtained from those literature which applied water as the matrix: Selli et al. (2009, 2012), Duarte et al. (2010), Zepka et al. (2014), Chen et al. (2016)
