100uL Fe-Curcumin Complex IR Results

Today, an infrared (IR) spectra was run for the filtered curcumin extract.

Next, an infrared (IR) spectra was run for the 100uL Fe (3+)-curcumin complex.

















Analysis of both IR spectra revealed the loss of the carbon-oxygen double bonds of a curcuminoid of curcumin. The IR spectra of the Iron (Fe 3+)-Curcumin complex does not contain that extra spike slightly above 1500ccm^-1, indicating that iron has replaced the original carbon-oxygen double bond.
