The main difficulties in wood and pulp analyses arise principally from their numerous components with different chemical structures. Therefore, the basic problem in a specific analytical procedure may be the selective separation of the main carbohydrate-derived components from lignin due to their chemical association and structural coexistence. The processing of the wood determines some structu...

The present study was to compare the Phytochemical and Antimicrobial analysis of W. somnifera and W. obtusifolia. In the Ethanolic leaf and root extract of Withania species were screened for phytochemical compounds by qualitative and FT-IR, UV method. Withania species have been used for remedies of human pathogen because they contain therapeutic compounds. This research work was mainly focused ...

N-[(1E)-(3-Bromophenyl)methylene]-N-(2-piperidin-1-ylethyl)amine Schiff base was prepared in good yield and characterized by the reflux of equivalent amounts of 2-(piperidin-1-yl)ethanamine with 3-bromobenzaldehyde. The structure of the desired Schiff base was analyzed based on: elemental analysis, EI-MS, TG/DTG, UV-visible, FT-IR, 1H and 13C-NMR spectral analysis. The condensation reaction was...

The exopolysaccharide (EPS) separated from the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae was determined by gel permeation chromatography to be homogeneous. The high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed-amperometric detection (HPAE-PAD) showed a content of monosaccharides D-galactosamine and D-fucose at a molar ratio of about 2:1. The results obtained from Fourier transform...

FT-Raman and FT-IR spectra of 5-methyl-2-(p-fluorophenyl)benzoxazole were recorded and analysed. The vibrational frequencies of the compound have been computed using the Hartree-Fock/6-31G* basis and compared with the experimental values.

Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is a robust method for macromolecular analysis and differentiation of microorganisms. However, most studies are performed in controlled conditions and it is unclear whether this tool is appropriate for the identification of eukaryotic microalgae species from variable environments. In order to address this, nine closely-related species of marine an...

The introduction of time-resolved Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy to biochemistry opened the possibility of monitoring the catalytic mechanism of proteins along their reaction pathways. The infrared approach is very fruitful, particularly in the application to membrane proteins where NMR and X-ray crystallography are challenged by the size and protein hydrophobicity, as well as ...
