The quantitative analysis of volatile organic compounds was carried out by Shimadzu GC/MS, QP-2010 (Shimadzu, Japan) with the EI (electron impact) mode. The ionization voltage was 70 eV, and temperatures of the injector and of ion source were maintained at 250 °C and 220 °C, respectively. The volatile organic compounds were isolated by GC column DB-5 (60 m × 0.25 mm i.d., film thickness 0.25 µm, Phenomenex, USA) and the mass spectra scanned were from 41 to 500 m/z. The GC/MS oven temperature was set as follows; 40 °C (5 min isothermal) raised to 220 °C at 2 °C/min and then to 280 °C at 10 °C/min (10 min isothermal). Helium gas at flow rate of 1.0 mL/min was used as the carrier gas. The sample injector volume was 1.0 µL and the split ratio was 1:20 (Islam et al., 2020).
