Abstract

See full text

This invention describes a method to monitor intrinsic parameters of natural cork stoppers, based on a non-invasive and non-destructive method, e.g. X-Ray spectroscopy, so that objects (stoppers) can be segregated and categorized according to the relation of such parameters with relevant characteristics for the performance of the closure, as, for instance, gas permeability. This invention does also describe how the information about physical and chemical parameters of the cork is processed directly from the data acquired in the production line.
