Abstract

Now a day, 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 precisely from their absorption spectra. In the present work, a sample of Indian apple (Simla) and gooseberry (Nelli) (Tamilnadu) are taken.
