aOdorants were numbered according to their retention time on DB-5 column (Figure 1). bOdorants were identified by comparing their retention indices on the DB-Wax and DB-5 column, their mass spectra, and their odor notes (detected by GC-O) with respective data of reference compounds. cOdour note as perceived at the sniffing port during GC-O analysis. dRetention index. eAll data are the mean of three measurements ± standard deviation and coefficient of variation (CV). In all the cases, the correlation coefficient was higher than 0.995. fLeffingwell (2008). gOAV = Odour Activity Value, concentration divided by their odor threshold.
