FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) spectroscopic analysis of dried leaf and fruit peel extract of Capparis divaricata lam

Capparis divaricata lam commonly known as caper bush, belonging to genus Capparidaceae, found throughout India. In this study, we determine the phytocomponents in dried leaf and fruit peel extract of Capparis divaricata lam (cappardaecea).The FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) spectroscopy is an essential tool for determining the composition and structure of organic compounds. The FTIR spectroscopy is an essential tool for profiling biochemical compounds that exist in herbal extraction, FTIR method was selected because it is a very rapid and economic method for the characterizing of a functional group. The dried sample has been taken for the identification of chemical bonds which are present in the plant sample. The FTIR peaks analyzed in leaf shows the OH, CH2, C=C, C-OH, CH3 and CH, bonds while in fruit peel it shows OH, CH2, C=C, C-OH, CH3, CH and C=O bonds. The presence of C=O bond tells us that they are useful in organic synthesis catalysis and as catalyst precursors in homogenous catalysis. The CH3 bonds suggest that the Methyl containing Amino Acid is present. The C-O-H group indicates the presence of Fatty Acids. Silicones and Sulfones the presence of various biological activities and are therapeutic targets. All the identified phytocomponents are having pharmacological activity and absorbance bond shows strong, stretching, symmetric and asymmetric bonds. So Capparis divaricata lam can be considered as a plant of phytopharmaceutical importance.
