1 GC-FID peak areas [(pA × min) × 104]. 2 Column heads are: C = control (untreated samples), O3 = samples treated using 10% DC (ozone level 300 ppm); O3(+) = samples treated using 100% DC (ozone level 800 ppm). Values in a row with different letters are significantly different (Tukey test, p < 0.05). 3 Kovats Retention Index.
