  1. The analytical platform used for quantification, chromatographic parameters (RI, Kováts41 retention index; RT, retention time), and mass characteristics (qualifier masses and quantifier mass of MSRI libraries44 (as m/z, mass to charge ratios) for GC–MS, accurate masses for uHPLC-ToF-MS) are given. It is indicated whether metabolites were identified via comparison of peak characteristics (RI/RT, mass spectra) with the Golm metabolome database (GMD)42,43 or reference standards (Std.). Names of organic acids are given both in protonated form and as anions. Abbreviations of some metabolites are given in brackets.
  2. *Metabolites are grouped according to their chemical class.
