a Retention indices on DB-wax column, b Identification of the compounds: ‘A’ means identified by mass spectrum and RI agree with standards, ‘B’ means tentatively identified by mass spectrum, agrees with the mass spectral database and RI agrees with literature, ‘C’ means high-resolution filtering score and mass spectral database. c HRF (high-resolution filtering score); percentage of the spectrum obtained by MS Orbitrap that can be explained by combination of accurate mass, library matching and percentage of explained ions observed. d Quantitative ion. e 1 = fruity, 2 = floral, 3 = herbaceous (or vegetal), 4 = nutty, 5 = caramel, 6 = earthy, 7 = chemical, 8 = fatty, 9 = roasted. f NF: not found. g 2-Methyltetrahydrothiophen-3-one. h 3-(Methylthio)propanoic acid ethyl ester. Data are the mean ± standard deviation of duplicate tests. ‘n.d.’: not detected. Different letters indicate significant differences among the results at a significant level of 0.05. Bold indicates the significant contribution of the compound to aroma (OAV > 1).
