Data are means ± SD (n = 3). Different letters represent significant differences at a significant level of 0.05. RI; calculated Retention Index. “/” means not found. “ND” means that the aroma compound is not detected or is found in trace amounts. RO; reverse osmosis technique, VD; vacuum distillation technique. a Odor descriptions are mainly obtained from the following literature: flavornet database (http://www.flavornet.org (accessed on 15 August 2021)) [9,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69]. b Thresholds are mainly gotten from the following literature: [9,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,68]. c Each compound was attributed to 1 or more aroma class of sensory descriptors as follows: 1, floral; 2, fruity; 3, fatty; 4, pungent; 5, spicy; 6, vegetative; 7, earthy.
