In healthcare, nutrition now recognised to be as
important as therapeutics is gaining attention as a
scientific discipline. The objective of this study is to
do multitechnique spectroscopic [NMR, FTIR (Fourier
transform infrared spectroscopy) and LIBS (Laser induced
breakdown spectroscopy)] profiling combined with
multivariate analysis to assess nutritional and
therapeutic properties of nutraceuticals. The
nutraceutically important phytochemicals and elements
(eg. carbohydrates, amino acids, polyphenol, flavonoids)
observed using the three spectroscopic techniques
correlated well with the antioxidant potential of these
nutraceuticals. Spectroscopic profiling combined with
multivariate analysis can provide reliable information
on the nutritional and therapeutic properties of
functional foods.
