The 1064-nm excited Fourier transform (FT) Raman spectra have been measured in situ for various foods in order to investigate the potential of near-infrared (NIR) FT-Raman spectroscopy in food analysis. It is demonstrated here that NIR FT-Raman spectroscopy is a very powerful technique for (1) detecting selectively the trace components in foodstuffs, (2) estimating the degree of unsaturation of fatty acids included in foods, (3) investigating the structure of food components, and (4) monitoring changes in the quality of foods. Carotenoids included in foods give two intense bands near 1530 and 1160 cm−1 via the pre-resonance Raman effect in the NIR FT-Raman spectra, and therefore, the NIR FT-Raman technique can be employed to detect them nondestructively. Foods consisting largely of lipids such as oils, tallow, and butter show bands near 1658 and 1443 cm−1 due to C=C stretching modes of cis unsaturated fatty acid parts and CH2 scissoring modes of saturated fatty acid parts, respectively. It has been found that there is a linear correlation for various kinds of lipid-containing foods between the iodine value (number) and the intensity ratio of two bands at 1658 and 1443 cm−1 ( I1658/ I1443), indicating that the ratio can be used as a practical indicator for estimating the unsaturation level of a wide range of lipid-containing foods. A comparison of the Raman spectra of raw and boiled egg white shows that the amide I band shifts from 1666 to 1677 cm−1 and the intensity of the amide III band at 1275 cm−1 decreases upon boiling. These observations indicate that most α-helix structure changes into unordered structure in the proteins constituting egg white upon boiling. The NIR FT-Raman spectrum of old-leaf (about one year old) Japanese tea has been compared with that of its new leaf. The intensity ratio of two bands at 1529 and 1446 cm−1 ( I1529/ I1446), assignable to carotenoid and proteins, respectively, is considerably smaller in the former than in the latter, indicating that the ratio is useful for monitoring the changes in the quality of Japanese tea.

The usual laser employed for Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy is a Nd:YAG unit lasing at 1.064 μm. In this work, use of the 1.339-μm lasing emission from Nd:YAG has been demonstrated. The sensitivity of this instrument is comparable to that of conventional FT-Raman instruments, and excellent anti-Stokes spectra can be easily obtained. Operation further into the near-infrared offers additional possibilities for fluorescence minimization. Results are shown for copper phthalocyanine.

Objectives: Maintaining the quality of the pharmaceutical drug product during its shelf life is highly desirable. The crystalline form of the drug having the great thermodynamic stability is essential for the manufacturers in pharmaceutical industry in view of their profit and also for the safety of the customer. Many pharmaceutical drugs have the tendency to exhibit polymorphism which is unwanted for pharmaceutical companies, where they have experienced market shortages due to these unpredicted polymorphic and/or pseudomorphic changes. The property of a drug exhibiting more than one crystal form is considerably regarded as polymorphism and each of the crystalline form has its own physicochemical properties, namely, solubility, heat capacity, melting point, and sublimation point. To relieve this ultimate effect on the drug quality and stability, a prior detection of polymorphism in the final dosage form is highly recommended. Hence, many analytical techniques have been proposed for the detection of polymorphism in pharmaceutical drug products. Methods: Fourier transform (FT)-Raman spectrometer is used for the investigation of drug polymorphism and the instrument is advanced with charge coupled device detectors, ease of sample preparation and handling, mitigation of sub-sampling problems using different geometric laser irradiance patterns and having different optical components of Raman spectrometers. Results: In this work, we carefully studied the Raman spectral patterns for Lamivudine as well as Finasteride drug substances for the detection of polymorphism. Further, we have highlighted the advantages of FT-Raman spectroscopy over other polymorphism detection techniques. For example, Raman spectra showed invariably sharp, well resolved bands compare to IR spectra due to the minor contribution of overtone vibrations in Raman spectra, resulting in much less broadening and a better resolution of bands. Besides, Raman spectroscopy does not suffer from the sampling problems that are common in X-ray powder diffraction, where preferred orientation and specimen displacements are serious restrictions for the application of quantitative method. Conclusion: Here, in this paper, we are presented and compared the experimental results regarding the detection of polymorphism in Lamivudine and Finasteride drugs using FT-Raman spectroscopy, to illustrate the advantages of the technique in the detection of polymorphism over other techniques.

AbstractThe Fourier transform Raman spectra of the kaolinite minerals have been measured in the 50–3800 cm−1 region using near infrared spectroscopy. Kaolinites are characterized by remarkably intense bands in the 120–145 cm−1 region. These bands, attributed to the O-Si-O and O-Al-O symmetric bending modes, are both polymorph and orientation dependent. The 200–1200 cm−1 spectral range is a finger-print region for clay minerals and each kaolinite clay has its own characteristic spectrum. The structure of clays is fundamentally determined by the position of hydroxyl groups. Fourier-transform Raman spectroscopy readily enables the hydroxyl stretching region to be examined allowing identification of the component bands. The advantages of FT-Raman spectroscopy are shown to enhance the study of the kaolinite structure.

This paper demonstrates the usefulness of near-infrared (NIR) Fourier transform (FT) Raman spectroscopy and chemometrics in nondestructive discrimination of biological materials. The discrimination among three kinds of materials—hard ivories, soft ivories, and mammoth tusks—has been investigated as an example. NIR (1064-nm) excited FT-Raman spectra were measured in situ for these materials, and principal component analysis (PCA) of the obtained spectra was carried out over the 1800–400-cm−1 region. The two kinds of ivories are clearly discriminated from one another on the basis of a one-factor plot. It was found that treatment of the Raman data by multiplicative scatter correction (MSC) greatly improves the ability to discriminate. Principal component weight loadings show that the discrimination relies upon the ratio of collagen and hydroxyapatite included in two kinds of ivories. The discrimination among the hard and soft ivories and mammoth tusks was made by a three-factor plot for FT-Raman spectra after the MSC treatments. Partial least-squares regression (PLSR) enabled us to make a calibration model which predicts the specific gravity of the hard and soft ivories.

General advantages and potential limitations of Fourier transform (FT) Raman spectroscopy using Nd:YAG laser excitation at 1064 nm have been considered for both routine analysis and specific biophysical applications. Optical design and operating parameters which affect the quality and reproducibility of the data are discussed. Moderately high resolution spectra (0.25 cm−1) of liquids are obtained with relative ease, and the results are compared with dispersive spectra. Particular emphasis has been placed on applications to biological systems where intrinsic fluorescence has traditionally limited the use of dispersive Raman spectroscopy. As an example of a biophysical study, we demonstrate the utility of FT-Raman spectroscopy in elucidating the interactions of polyene antibiotics with model membrane lipid bilayers as a means of understanding novel drug/membrane interactions at the molecular level.

Recently-developed near-infrared Fourier transform (FT)-Raman spectroscopy has received keen interest of researchers in bio-Raman field because near-infrared excitation can avoid mostly fluorescence and photodecomposition, which have been two major drawbacks of Raman spectroscopy in its biological and medical applications. Introduction of FT-Raman microspectroscopy makes near-infrared FT-Raman spectroscopy more useful for studying biomedical materials. The purpose of the present paper is to demonstrate the potential of near-infrared FT-Raman microspectroscopy in nondestructive structural analysis of biological systems. Photosynthetic bacteria is taken up here as an example.The FT-Raman spectra of the photosynthetic bacteria were measured with a JEOL JRS-FT6500N FT-Raman spectrometer equipped with an optical microscopy. Excitation wavelength at 1064-nm was provided by a CW Nd:YAG laser (CVI YAGMAX c-92), and the laser power at the sample position was typically 150 mW. All the data were collected at a spectral resolution of 8 cm-1 and spatial resolution of 8 μm.

Asynchronous Fourier transform (FT) Raman spectroscopy with 100 picosecond time resolution has been developed. A signal-processing assembly required for time-resolved and transient Raman measurements consists of a picosecond Nd:YLF laser system, a gate circuit, and a low-pass filter, and it can be attached to any conventional continuous-scan FT-Raman spectrophotometer. The principle of signal processing employed in this method is almost the same as that of asynchronous pulsed-laser-excited FT-Raman spectroscopy. This method does not require synchronization between Raman excitation by probe laser pulses and sampling by the analog-to-digital converter. Transient Raman spectra have been obtained from the first excited singlet state of three anthracene derivatives in cyclohexane solutions and photoexcited poly( p-phenylenevinylene) [(C6H4CH=CH) n] by using 351 nm light (pulse width ã 70 ps) for photoexcitation and 1053 nm light (pulse width ã 100 ps) for Raman excitation.

The study of colored organometallic complexes by dispersive Raman spectroscopy has been limited due to fluorescence or photodecomposition caused by the visible laser used as the excitation source. As a solution to this problem, FT-Raman spectroscopy with a near-infrared laser source has been useful in lowering fluorescence or photolysis in these samples. To investigate the utility of this technique, we have obtained and assigned the FT-Raman spectra of a series of arene chromium tricarbonyl complexes and of cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl. Some bands previously unobserved by dispersive Raman spectroscopy were seen, including a band assigned to a 13CO satellite in the spectrum of methylbenzoate chromium tricarbonyl. In addition, FT-Raman data for bovine serum albumin (BSA) and Protein-A are presented. Keywords: FT-Raman spectroscopy, metal carbonyl, proteins, organometallics, near infrared.
