In healthcare, nutrition now recognised to be as important as therapeutics is gaining attention as a scientific discipline. The objective of this study is to do multitechnique spectroscopic [NMR, FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) and LIBS (Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy)] profiling combined with multivariate analysis to assess nutritional and therapeutic properties of nutraceuticals. The nutraceutically important phytochemicals and elements (eg. carbohydrates, amino acids, polyphenol, flavonoids) observed using the three spectroscopic techniques correlated well with the antioxidant potential of these nutraceuticals. Spectroscopic profiling combined with multivariate analysis can provide reliable information on the nutritional and therapeutic properties of functional foods.
