As shown in Table 3, sweet aroma, floral aroma and honey aroma were found to be significantly higher in mMSL, hence confirming the GC–MS results, where the levels of esters (acetates and nonacetate esters) were higher in these samples. These attributes were highly positively correlated with the sum of acetate and non-ace-tate esters, having correlation coefficients of more than 0.8 (datanot shown).
