Abstract:
Standard BanXia (Pinellia temata (Thumb.) Breit) and false Shui BanXia (Typhonium flagelliforme (Lodd.) Blume) were identified fast and nondestructively by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) combined with two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D) in this paper. The two kinds of BanXia wree similar to each other in one-dimensional IR spectra but quite different in 2D FTIR spectra. In the range between 1 220 cm(-1) and 1700 cm(-1), one strong autopeak was aroused by BanXia around 1410 cm(-1) in synchronous spectrum, whereas three autopeaks not only at 1460 cm(-1) but also at 1540 cm(-1) and 1680 cm(-1) aroused by Shui BanXia. Also in the range between 940 cm(-1) and 1220 cm(-1), three autopeaks were shown at 980, 1080 and 1150 cm(-1) in synchronous spectrum of BanXia, but only two autopeaks at 1080 and 1150 cm(-1) in synchronous spectrum of Shui BanXia. It is proved that the 2D FTIR could serve in distinguishing standard and false medicinal herbs due to its unique advantages such as enhanced resolution and increased identification ability. Therefore, the rapidity and accuracy of 2D FTIR spectroscopy make it a powerful and new approach to evaluating the medicinal herbs.

Transmittance is defined as the ratio of the radiant power passing through a sample to that from the radiation's source. Multiplying the transmittance by 100 gives the percent transmittance (%T), which varies between 100% (no absorption) and 0% (complete...
