LRI: linear retention index; nd: not detected. Natural 1, 2, and 3 samples were from different farmers. Natural 1, wine, honey, and semiwashed samples were from same farmer. The relative concentration of volatile compounds was calculated by comparing the peak area of the specific compound in the sample with the peak area of internal standard (3-heptanone). The values displayed in the table are average of two replications.
