OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to determine molecular structures related to carbohydrates and lipid in alfalfa hay cut at early bud, late bud and early flower and in the afternoon and next morning using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT/IR) and to determine their relationship with alfalfa hay nutrient profile and availability in ruminants. METHODS Chemical composition analysis, ...

BACKGROUND Kidney stones are a common illness with multifactorial etiopathogenesis. The determination of crystalline and molecular composition and the quantification of all stone components are important to establish the etiology of stones disease but it is often laborious to obtain using the chemical method. The aim of this paper is to compare chemical spot test with FT-IR spectroscopy, for a ...

An evaluation of high-throughput Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) as a technology that could support a "metabonomics" component in toxicological studies of drug candidates is presented. The hypothesis tested in this study was that FT-IR had sufficient resolving power to discriminate between urine collected from control rat populations and rats subjected to treatment with a potent...

The purpose of this study is to develop a method of evaluating the enzymatic activity of trypsin in a solid-state based on Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra using chemoinformatics and two-dimensional (2-D) correlation spectroscopy. Crystalline trypsin powders are compressed at 0-4000 kg cm-2 by a compression/tension tester. The enzymatic activity of trypsin is assayed by the kinetic de...

a new fourier transform-infra red (ft-ir) spectrometric method was developed for assaying hydrochlorothiazide (hct) and enalapril maleate (enm) in binary solid pharmaceutical formulations. multivariate partial least squares (pls) method was used for calibration of derivative spectral data. acetonitrile was used as solvent due to its spectral transparency and adequate solubility of analytes in i...

The FT-IR, FT-Raman and SERS Spectra of 1-Chloro 4-Flurobenzene (C6H4CLF) have been recorded in the range 4000-400cm -1 , the optimized geometry,frequency and intensity of the vibrtional bands of C6H4CLFhave been obtained by DFT levels of theory with complete relaxation in the 6-311**G basis sets. A complete vibrational assignment, aided by the theoretical frequency analysis, has been proposed....
