This procedure gives values ca. 25–30%. It is based on the colorimetric estimation of the lignin released by autoclaving with alkali. Using this method it was shown that cork is highly resistant to decay by brown-rot wood-destroying molds. This is attributed to the protective action of the suberin or to the presence in the cork of substances toxic to the molds.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APS</style></notes><research-notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APS</style></research-notes></record></records></xml>
