Authors
abstract
ft-raman spectra of saffron (crocus sativus l.) with a partial assignment is reported. based on the raman data, it is concluded that main pigments in saffron are crocins and crocetin. it is proposed that the quickly attainable ft-raman spectrum of solid saffron, may be used as a means of saffron standardization.
