a
Sample A, raw cork; Sample B, boiled cork; Sample C, mold growth room; Sample D, stacked planks; Sample E, granulated cork; Sample F, glued agglomerated cork stoppers; Sample G, final cork stoppers (SO2 treated). The values are the averages for duplicate estimates obtained in three independent experiments. The values in parentheses are standard errors.
