Dichloromethane extracts were prepared from 38 samples of cork harvested in different locations of Corsica and Sardinia from individual trees of Quercus suber L. Friedelin, 3-alpha-hydroxyfriedelan-2-one, betulin, betulinic acid, beta-sitosterol and sitost-4-en-3-one were identified and their molar percentages were calculated by 13C NMR spectroscopy, following a procedure recently developed by our group. The results were submitted to chemometric analysis (k-means and principal component analysis), which allowed three groups to be distinguished with respect to the content of friedelin, betulinic acid and 3-alpha-hydroxyfriedelan-2-one.
