Evaluation of Turmeric Powder Adulterated with Metanil Yellow Using FT-Raman and FT-IR Spectroscopy

Turmeric powder (Curcuma longa L.) is valued both for its medicinal properties and for its popular culinary use, such as being a component in curry powder. Due to its high demand in international trade, turmeric powder has been subject to economically driven, hazardous chemical adulteration. This study utilized Fourier Transform-Raman (FT-Raman) and Fourier Transform-Infra Red (FT-IR) spectrosc...

Structural Analysis of Hirudin Using FT-IR and FT-Raman Spectroscopic Techniques

FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of hirudin have been recorded from the native solid hirudin. The conformation of the molecule has been discussed on the basis of IR and Raman data. It has been concluded that hirudin molecule has a mixed a-helix and random coil conformation.

FT-IR Spectroscopy in Medicine

Infrared spectroscopy has been widely applied for the characterisation of various substances. Due to its sensitivity to the chemical information and architecture of the molecule, infrared spectroscopy can play an important role in new applications such as in the life-science field and not only in the traditional fields of physics and chemistry. Spectroscopic techniques are simple, reproducible,...

What Is an Ft-ir and an Ft-ir Spectrometer?

An FT-IR Spectrometer is an instrument which acquires broadband NIR to FIR spectra. Unlike a dispersive instrument, i.e. grating monochromator or spectrograph, an FT-IR Spectrometer collects all wavelengths simultaneously. This feature, called the Multiplex or Felgett Advantage, is discussed in detail on page 3. FT-IR Spectrometers are often simply called FT-IRs. But for the purists, an FT-IR (...
