3.1 | Volatile chemical composition of M. humileseeds
Chemical analyses of seed volatiles revealed the presence of several
substances. By comparing the results with blank analyses, we found eight
compounds that were derived from the M. humile seeds (Figure 2).
Among eight peaks, 6 peaks were identified as isobutyl alcohol, isoamyl
alcohol, isoamyl hexanoate, linalool, isobutyric acid, and α-terpineol
(Table 1). Peaks 2 and 8 could not be identified from the obtained mass
spectra.
