Abstract

The goal of the current work is to use FTIR spectroscopy to evaluate the ethanol, chloroform, acetone, and petroleum ether extracts of leaves and of Bauhinia racemosa. The FTIR spectroscopy analyses identified numerous functional chemicals in the extracts with distinct distinctive peak values. The existence of carbohydrates, alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, phytosterols, phenols, tanin, flavanoids, proteins, and amino acid components, which showed prominent peaks, was confirmed by FTIR analysis of ethanol and acetone leaf extracts of Bauhinia racemosa. The characteristic peak values and their functional groups were found using the FTIR technique on a spectrophotometer instrument. The FTIR spectrum profiles that the present study's findings produced for Bauhinia racemosa's medicinally significant plants can be applied in the workplace.
