ABSTRACT

In the present study an attempt has been made to establish FT-IR profile and identify the functional components of Asparagus racemosus. FTIR method was performed on a Thermo Scientific Spectrophotometer system which was used to detect the characteristic peak values and their functional groups. The results of Asparagus racemosus roots FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of C-H bond stretching, alkynes group, an aromatic ring, N-H bending at primary anime, secondary amine stretching at secondary amine and alkenes group stretching compounds which shows major peaks at 3429-3412 cm-1, 2359-2330 cm-1, 1967-1923 cm-1, 1398 cm-1, 1645-1568 cm-1 and 3149.86 cm-1 respectively. The results of the present study produced the FTIR spectrum profile for the medicinally important plant Asparagus racemosus.
