Study on the Use of Evolved Gas Analysis FT-IR (EGA FT-IR) for the Evaluation of Cheese Volatile Fraction

Study on the Use of Evolved Gas Analysis FT-IR (EGA FT-IR) for the Evaluation of Cheese Volatile Fraction

The analysis of volatile compounds for food products characterization is currently performed by gas chromatographic separation, often coupled with mass spectrometry. In our research the possibility of the application of the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) technique to the cheese volatile fraction evaluation was investigated. An Evolved Gas Analysis (EGA) FT-IR prototype, develop...

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.

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 (...

15 - 22 FT-IR Study

FT-IR spectra of liver tissue isolated from mice, Mus musculus, have been recorded in the region of 4000 – 400 cm-1 for normal, mercury treated and recovery phase. In this study, the total protein content was found to be decreased in the liver tissues after treatment with median-lethal dose of mercuric chloride. The marked fall in the level of bio-chemical constituent in the tissue due to metal...
