Italic values indicate quantitation ion parameters and non-italic values indicate confirmation ion parameters. Q1 (m/z) and Q3 (m/z) are the mass-to-charge ratios of the molecular ion selected in Q1 and the fragment ion selected in Q3, respectively. CE is the collision energy and RT is the chromatographic retention time of each terpene.
