Diagnosing sonformational and functional characteristics of prestigious maize inbred lines grain using infrared spectra

Abstract

This paper discusses the application of the infrared (IR) spectroscopy method to grain of prestigious maize inbred lines to determine its conformational and functional properties. The IR spectra of prestigious maize inbred lines grain has been registered in: ZPPL 186, ZPPL 225 and M1-3-3 Sdms. The existence of spectral bands varying in both, number and intensity and their shape, frequency and kinetics has been determined. Infrared spectral bands are determined by transmittance (%) and frequency (cm-1) of chemical bonds' valence oscillations and deformation oscillations in functional groups: alkanes, alkenes, alcines, alcohols, ethers, carboxylic acids, esters, aldehydes and ketones that are characteristic for biogenic compounds of carbohydrates, vitamins, pigments and dietary fibres. By analyzing IR spectral bands, conformational and functional properties of bio-genic compounds can be detected in grain of observed prestigious maize inbred lines.
