Table 2: Index number, retention time, compound name, and presence (X) of that chemical in eight of the control spaces analyzed using static HS-SPME-GC for cardamom, clove, ginger, licorice root, nutmeg, peppermint, thyme, and turmeric. Bags 1 and 7 were both manually labeled as talc, but it was not clear who identified these bags or how that assessment was made. Upon visual assessment, it was concluded that the two bags contained the same material, but neither contained talc. Instead, it was suggested that the bags contained a ground leafy material, perhaps thyme. ATR-FTIR analysis confirmed that the powders were not talc; however, it could not identify the powders apart from them being carbohydrate-based. HS-SPME-GCMS spectra for these two bags were very weak, but did not show a peak for thymol at 16.0 min, indicating thyme was not present. Following analysis, the powders in bags 1 and 7 remained unidentified. Neither bag 2 nor bag 6 was labeled. Upon visual assessment of bag 2, it was found it to be a finely ground brownish powder, and it was proposed that the bag contained cinnamon. By contrast, bag 6 was composed of a speckled material with a sand-like texture, and no assessment was made. ATR-FTIR showed that both powders contained piperidine (3014, 2941, 2922, 1636, 1612, 1583, 1495, 1447, 1371, 1319, 1226, 1195, 1136, 996, 931, 846, 831, 805, 787, 717, and 701 cm\({}^{-1}\)), which is associated with black pepper.
