This paper discusses the use of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy coupled with an attenuated total reflectance (ATR) accessory as applied to the quantification of individual sugar concentrations (glucose, maltose, maltotriose, and maltodextrines) in real mixtures extracted during starch hydrolysis. Solutions studied contained dry matter ranging between 250 and 300 g/kg. Glucose and maltose were detected with the required precision, but not maltotriose or maltodextrines. The measurements are fairly repeatible, and predictions are reproducible.

Three handheld spectrometers, near-infrared (NIR), Raman and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform-infrared (ATR-FT-IR) spectroscopy, were used for the identification of ‘legal high’ model mixtures and Internet products.

Abstract The aim of this study was the synthesis of three different epoxy compounds based on naphthalene-2,7-diol (2,7-NAF.EP, 2,7-NAF.WEP, 2,7-NAF.P.EP) and then their cross-linking by triethylenetetramine (TETA). All epoxides were prepared by the reaction of naphthalene-2,7-diol with epichlorohydrin but under different conditions and with other catalysts. The structures of the obtained compounds before and after the cross-linking reactions were confirmed by the attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR/FT-IR). The ATR/FT-IR spectra of cross-linked compounds show disappearance of the C–O–C bands (about 915 cm−1) derived from the epoxy groups. DSC and TG/DTG measurements indicated that the obtained materials possess good thermal resistance; they are stable up to about 250 °C. The hardness of the cross-linked products was determined using the Shore D method. The highest value of hardness was obtained for the 2,7-NAF.EP-POL. Additionally, the UV–Vis absorption spectra of the obtained polymers were registered and evaluated.

Thanks to what has been achieved by the Fourier transform, infrared spectrometry can now become a state-of-the-art device in quality control laboratories if we consider its precision and the gain in time it ensures in comparison to results from traditional analytical methods such as chromatography. Moreover, the increasing number of new mathematical regression methods such as Partial Least-Squares (PLS) regression allows multicomponent quantitative analysis in mixtures. For instance, the analysis of the three main components (glucose, maltose, and fructose) of the dry substance which represents about 70% (w/v) in glucose syrups can be done with the use of Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) spectroscopy with a precision in the region of 3 to 5%, whereas the time required to obtain an analysis report is about five minutes. The high similarity between the glucose and the maltose may make the analysis difficult.
