Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Syzygium cumini fruit is a medicinal plant which is used in many pharmaceuticals in this modern age. The aim of this study is to found the active functional group when the pulp is being subjected to drying in various temperature like 50°C, 60°C and 70°C in cross flow dryer. FT-IR was applied and IR-Spectrum with the mid infrared region was used for identifying the functional compound. Generally Syzygium cumini fruit is mainly used for many Ayurvedic and diabetics treatment. During this study the findings are the presence of characteristic functional groups such as Alkyl Halides, Aromatic rings, Phosphine, Carboxylic acids, Alkenese, Phenyl ring, Thicarbonyl, Bioactive fraction, Nitro compounds and amines. On varying the temperature there is much difference in functional group whereas phenyl ring and aromatic ring was found in all the three temperature. So this pulp can be dried even till the temperature reaches at 70°C with these functional groups.
