The SEC-MALLS techniques, together with an alternative method for data treatment, are used to determine actual DP distributions of the cellulose of southern African Acala 1517/70 cotton lint. This alternative approach offers the possibility of exhaustive statistical analyses of acquired data, previously not possible. The results of these analyses show the influence of production area and year on variations in DP distributions of the cellulose of South African cotton lint.
