    Attenuated total reflectance with infrared spectroscopy has revolutionized the instrumental analysis for a variety of materials, including those of biological origin. Applications are focused to identification and quantification of chemical compounds, detection of changes at molecular level and evaluate the authenticity of a product. The objective of this research was to analyze pulp and oil from avocado by infrared spectroscopy. The pulp showed several absorption bands centered at 1653 cm-1 assigned to the vibration of extensive type C=O (amide I in proteins), 1547 cm-1 (N-H bending, amide II), and 1237 cm-1 (N-H bending, amide III). The spectrum of avocado oil showed C-H groups in the range at 3000 to 2800 cm-1, and an intense band at 1744 cm-1 attributed to C=O, extensive vibrations of carbonyl group in esters. From the latter group of frequency, the ratio of absorbance intensities between 3007 cm-1 (band extended unsaturated =C-H) and absorbance at 2924 cm-1 (extended-band C-H), was used to estimate the iodine value of oil, it was 74.8 within the range of 69 to 95, obtained by chemical tests.La espectroscopia infrarroja con reflectancia total atenuada ha revolucionado los análisis instrumentales en diversos tipos de materiales, incluyendo los de origen biológico.

El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar la pulpa y aceite de aguacate por medio de la espectroscopia infrarroja. Para la pulpa se observaron varias bandas de absorción centradas en 1653 cm-1, asignada a la vibración de tipo extensiva C=O (amida I de las proteínas), 1547 cm-1 (N�H flexión, amida II), y 1237 cm-1 (N�H flexión, amida III). El espectro del aceite de aguacate extraído muestra los grupos C�H, en el rango 3000 a 2800 cm-1, y una banda intensa en 1744 cm-1 atribuida al enlace C=O, vibraciones de extensión del grupo éster carbonilo. Del último grupo de frecuencias, la relación de intensidades entre la absorbancia en 3007 cm-1 (banda extensiva insaturada =C�H) y la absorbancia en 2924 cm-1 (banda extensiva �C�H), fue utilizada para estimar el valor del índice de yodo del aceite, éste fue 74.8, valor dentro del rango de 69 a 95, obtenido mediante pruebas químicas

    Guiding light with singular beams in nanoplasmonic colloids

    No full text
    We investigate the nonlinear propagation of light beams with complex phase and intensity structures, including a Gaussian-embedded vortex, a Bessel vortex, and a Bessel-cosine necklace. We employ a colloidal suspension of bio-synthesized plasmonic gold nanoparticles, where a self-defocusing response is mediated by absorption at the laser wavelength (532 nm). We show that, by means of nonlocal nonlinearity, these structured two-dimensional beams with on-axis singularity can counteract the diffraction of the dark core and guide therein a coaxial Gaussian probe of different wavelengths (633 nm) and lower intensities. Angular steering of the confined probe is also demonstrated by tilting the propagation direction of the pump
