RT is retention time (s).
The value is measured odor intensity using electronic nose. RC, regular coffee; SWDC, Swiss water process decaffeinated coffee; SCDC, supercritical CO2 decaffeinated coffee.
Values are mean±SD (n=5).
Different small letters (a-c) in the same row indicate a significant difference according to Tukey test (p<0.05).
