Substrate and rhizosphere microorganisms are key factors affecting seedling growth; however, the effects of substrates bacteria on growth Quercus variabilis not completely understood. Here, Q. seedlings were grown in with without cork flour, as follows: H substrate (charcoal soil/cork flour/perlite, 1:1:2), S (cork 1:1), control (CK) soil/perlite, 3:2). High-throughput sequencing qPCR used to i...

The inorganic elements potentially migrating from cork to a food simulant [a hydroalcoholic solution containing 12 and 20% (v/v) ethanol] have been determined by means of inductively coupled plasma (ICP) with atomic emission and mass spectrometric detection. The experimental instrumental conditions were evaluated in depth, taking into account spectroscopic and nonspectroscopic interference caus...

A study was made of the hygroscopicity of two samples of cork with the same characteristics, taken from trees of the same age but with a 38year gap between debarking. This was achieved by plotting the 35oC sorption-desorption isotherms and fitting them using the GAB model. Infrared spectra were used to determine any chemical changes in the cell wall. Extended exposure to controlled relative hum...
