Abstract

In this study methanolic extract of one plant namely Arabic coffee, were screened for the presence of analysis Constituents and tested for their of Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR) spectra. Infrared measurement techniques of methanolic extracts of Coffee (C. arabica. L) Seeds and peels (unroasted and roasted) include the following functional groups: Phenolic (O-H), Aliphatic- (CH), nitro compounds (CN), Aromatics (C = C) and Aliphatic (C-O). The FTIR method was performed on a spectrophotometer system, which was used to detect the characteristic peak values and their functional groups. The results of the present study generated the FTIR spectrum profile for the medicinally important plants of Arabic coffee can be used in the industry.
