Table 1. Headspace composition, pressure and volume of two container types, containing 10 Prunus shootlets in stage II. Type 1 consists of a Meli-jar with nick and a PP screw on lid with sample device (closure). A type 4 container consists of a Meli-jar with sampling device (body), a rubber ring and a PP-membrane pressed together with a clamp system.
