The meaning of each root fraction is indicated in Figure 1.

b

Aliphatic C: total aliphatic carbon region (0–109 ppm). Aromatic C: total aromatic carbon region (109–163 ppm). Polar C: total polar C region (50–109 ppm and 145–220 ppm).

c

Crystallinity index=(86–92ppm)/[(86–92ppm)+(79–86ppm)]=Crystalline cellulose/(amorphous cellulose+crystalline cellulose).
