In this paper, we present a chemometric model for quantifying the cellulose forms with different states of order found within cellulose I fibrils. The relative amounts of the different cellulose forms, that is crystalline cellulose I, para-crystalline cellulose and cellulose at accessible and inaccessible cellulose surfaces, were determined by non-linear least squares fitting of the C4-region in CP/MAS C-13-NMR (Cross-Polarisation Magic Angle Spinning Carbon-13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectra. By correlating these results from the C4-region with the full spectral data we obtained a model which is able to provide an assessment of the relative amounts of the different cellulose forms directly from NMR-spectra of complex lignocellulosic samples. Furthermore, this model enabled new assignments to be made in the C1-region for signals from cellulose at accessible fibril surfaces.
