Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy as a Tool for Phytochemical Characterization

Author : Shraddha Tiwari and Dr. SM Haider Zaidi

Abstract

The interferogram must be converted to a spectrum using Fourier analysis, which calls for a computer. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative phytochemical investigations were performed on four selected endangered medicinal plants: Wulfenia amherstiana, Thalictrum foliolosum, Selinum tenuifolium, and Bergenia ligulata. For Bergenia ligulata, Thalictrum foliolosum, Selinum tenuifolium, and Wulfenia amherstiana, an efficient and highly reproducible method was developed to enhance shoot regeneration and massive roots using leaves, nodal segments, and rhizomes as explants into complete plants. The Perkin Elmer Spectrum 400 spectrometer was utilized to get the Fourier transform infrared spectra of the bioactive component present in the plant material. Furthermore, GC-MS analysis of some plant species indicated a variety of bioactive phytoconstituents, including the functional groups, as was reported during FTIR. The roots of Bergenia ligulata (47.24%), Thalictrum foliolosum leaves (88.20%), and Selinum tenuifolium roots (90.6%) come next.
