Area %: area percent, which corresponds to the proportion of each component in the fraction; Qual %: quality of fragment ion peak matching between the unknown component and suggested compounds from NIST14.L; RT: retention time in min; MM: molecular mass. The “a” in superscript represents suggested compounds from NIST14.L which have Qual % less than 50%
