Fourier transform mid-infrared (MIR) and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy for rapid quality assessment of Chinese medicine preparation Honghua Oil

Infrared Spectroscopic Technologies for the Quality Control of Herbal Medicines

“…Honghua oil: Wu and coworkers [42] reported about MIR and NIR spectroscopic methods for quantitative analysis of the three marker components, a-pinene, methyl salicylate, and eugenol, to assess the quality of honghua oil, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) oil preparation, consisting of several plant essential oils.…”

Aqueous Extract of Terminalia chebula Induces Apoptosis in Lung Cancer Cells Via a Mechanism Involving Mitochondria-mediated Pathways

“…On the molecular level, chemical information regarding the structure and composition of a biological material can be effectively obtained by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy (Yang et al 2009), and therefore, the application of vibrational spectroscopy is expanding. As described by Noda (Noda 1989), conventional FTIR spectroscopy introduces a relatively slow external perturbation (e.g., electrical, thermal, chemical, mechanical) (Wu et al 2008). Recently, with the development of the IR technique, much progress has been achieved.…”

Rapid and undamaged analysis of crude and processed Radix Scrophulariae by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy coupled with soft independent modeling of class analogy

“…[1112] An IR spectrum contains features arising from vibrations of molecular bonds and specially the mid-IR region (4000-400/cm) is highly sensitive to the precise composition of the crude and processed Radix Scrophulariae being analyzed. Furthermore, via FT-IR spectroscopy, herbal medicines can be controlled and identified directly and the samples do not to be separated.…”
