Abstract

The aim of this work was to verify the presence of cork (Quercus Suber) in two samples of linoleum the beginning of the twentieth century Using GC/MS after acidic methanolysis and silylation, it was possible to identify most of the components of a modern sample of cork. The dominant is a lipid polymer: the suberin. Its monomeric composition is examined in details.
