Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy functional group analysis

An integrated GC/IR/MS instrument is a powerful tool for rapid identification of thermally generated aroma compounds. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (GC/IR) provides a complementary technique to mass spectrometry (MS) for the characterization of volatile flavor components in complex mixtures. Recent improvements in GC/IR instruments have made it possible to construct an integrated GC/IR/HS system in which the sensitivity of the two spectroscopic detectors is roughly equal. The combined system offers direct correlation of IR and MS chromatograms, functional group analysis, substantial time savings, and the potential for an expert systems approach to identification of flavor components. Performance of the technique is illustrated with applications to the analysis of volatile flavor components in charbroiled chicken. 

To identify nanoparticles there are several analytical techniques, including crystalline nature, surface plasmon resonance, size, shape, stability, nature, etc., which was done by various analytical instruments, such as UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive analysis, zeta potential, etc. These are mostly used for analysis of synthesized nanoparticles, which helps us to study crystalline nature, functional groups, and morphological studies, and to identify its stability. 

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is a technique which is used to obtain infrared spectrum of absorption, emission, and photoconductivity of sohd, hquid, and gas. It is used to detect different functional groups in PHB. FTIR spectrum is recorded between 4000 and 400 cm b For FTIR analysis, the polymer was dissolved in chloroform and layered on a NaCl crystal and after evaporation of chloroform, the polymer film was subjected to FTIR. The spectnun of PHB shows peaks at 1724 cm and 1279 cm b which corresponds to specific rotations around carbon atoms. The peak at 1724cm corresponds to C—O stretch of the ester group present in the molecular chain of highly ordered structure and the adsorption band at 1279cm corresponds to ester bonding.Figure 17.5 shows FTIR spectrum of PHB. 

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Analysis A ThermoNicolet Nexus 470 spectrometer was used for FTIR analysis to detect the presence of functional groups in the membranes. Thin membrane samples were attached to a polyethylene substrate FTIR card from Thermo Electron Cotp. and analyzed at ambient temperature. All spectra were obtained from 100 scans at 4.0 cm resolution with spectra ranging from 400 to 4000 cm. ... 

Transition metal coordination of Cu(II) carboxylate groups and pyridine groups was employed as a means of coupling a telechelic butadiene-base polymer with a randomly functionalized styrenic polymer. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) indicated partial miscibility of the two polymers and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy demonstrated that interactions occurred on a molecular level. When compared with blends of PSVP and the free acid derivative of CTB, the compositions based on the transition metal complex had improved dimensional stability at elevated temperatures, though there remains some question as to the stability of the copper salt to hydrolysis. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy showed that only the... 

IR is a nondestructive technique suitable for the analysis of formulated products, and gives a considerable amount of information about the compounds present. Near-infrared (from 13 000 to 4000 cm ) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) (from 4000 to 400 cm ) spectroscopies are used. Qualitative analysis of the ethanol soluble fraction allows the identification of functional group types such as hydrotropes (xylenesulfonate and toluenesulfonate). In addition, zeolite, alkalis, polymers, and builders may be identified in the insoluble ethanol fraction. For quantitative analysis, method development is slow because a great number of calibration standards...

Fourier-transformed infrared (FTIR) is another excellent method to study protein folding. Unlike the well-known use of FTIR as a method for the identification of functional groups, in terms of protein structure this method allows the determination of secondary structure. The frequency of vibration of the amide I band of the peptide chain (1500-1600 cm M heavily depends on the structure of the protein. FTIR has the advantage of being more sensitive for the study of proteins that contain (3-sheet elements as compared to CD. Furthermore, since FTIR spectroscopy can be applied to solids also, it allows the structural analysis of aggregated protein deposits. The availability of the rapid step-scan method for FTIR is also very useful for the study of rapid folding reactions (see Vibrational Spectroscopy).
