Abstract

FTIR spectroscopy was used to analyze secondary structural composition of protein in egusi. Spectral deconvolution using mathematical techniques such as fourier self deconvolution and second derivative was used to provide meaningful information about the molecular structure of proteins in egusi. The use of second derivative to deconvolute the structure of the amide band in the spectral region 1725 cm-1 to 1580 cm-1 revealed some features indicating valleys that can be associated to the secondary structure of amide I band.
