C.Tamil Selvi & Dr. A. Mukunthan

The recent application of FTIR spectroscopy is not only used to find the composition of various nutrients present in vegetables and fruits but also used as a tool to identify them correctly from their absorption spectra, In the present work FTIR spectroscopic Techniques is used to study the biological composition of different varieties of plantain (banana) cultivated in different places of south India and subsequently estimated the amount of constituents like carbohydrates and proteins by chemical tests.
