Cellulose Content
Cellulose content is highly correlated with pulp yield and so is complimentary to the pulp yield assessment. FQ offers access to an NIR calibration based on over 1800 samples covering a range of eucalypt species (predominantly E. globulus and nitens) for which laboratory cellulose contents have been assessed using the diglyme method.
