Present day techniques for structure determination in carbohydrate chemistry are sub stantially the same as those for any other type of compound The full range of modern instrumental methods including mass spectrometry and infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is brought to bear on the problem If the unknown substance is crystalline X ray diffraction can provide precise structural information that m the best cases IS equivalent to taking a three dimensional photograph of the molecule...

High-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy also has the potential for rapid sample throughput and could expand the range of metabolites readily detectable. The instrumentation is expensive and interpretation requires considerable... 

Consideration must be given to the quantity of sample needed for the minimum detection ]imits of the instrumental technique used. A number of techniques have been ranked in order of increasing amounts of material needed as follows mass spectroscopy (1 - 10 yg), chemical spot tests (1 - 100 yg), infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy (10 - 200 yg), melting point (0.1 -1 mg), elemental analysis (0.5 - 5 mg), boiling point (1 - 10 mg), functional group analysis (1 - 20 mg), and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1-25 mg). 

More recently, enantiomer ratios have been used as evidence of adulteration in natural foods and essential oils. If the enantiomer distribution of achiral component of a natural food does not agree with that of a questionable sample, then adulteration can be suspected. Chiral GC analysis alone may not provide adequate evidence of adulteration, so it is often used in conjunction with other instrumental methods to completely authenticate the source of a natural food. These methods include isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS), which determines an overall 13C/12C ratio (Mosandl, 1995), and site-specific natural isotope fractionation measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (SNIF-NMR), which determines a 2H/ H ratio at different sites in a molecule (Martin et al 1993), which have largely replaced more traditional analytical methods using GC, GC-MS, and HPLC. 

Like infrared spectroscopy, specific test methods for recording the nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of coal do not exist. It is necessary, therefore, to adapt other methods to the task at hand, provided that the necessary sample preparation protocols and instrumental protocols for recording magnetic resonance spectra are followed to the letter as proposed and described for infrared spectroscopy (Section 9.1).

Today, organic chemists rely on an array of very powerful instruments that enable them to identify compounds in much less time. With use of these instruments, it is often possible to determine the structure of an unknown compound in less than an hour. Three of the most powerful techniques are presented in this and the following chapters. They are infrared spectroscopy and two related techniques proton and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation (light) with molecules.
