There were great differences among the investigated samples. The identified compounds of the Apple sample showed 34 constituents, which represented (93.13%) of the total compounds. The major one was anethole (30.43%). While, the Creamy Strawberry specimen exhibited 27 recognized compounds, which represented (59.61%) of the sample. The chief constituent was acetic acid (15.83%).
