A Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometric method was developed for the rapid,
direct measurement of diosmin in different pharmaceutical drugs. Conventional KBr-
spectra were compared for best determination of active substance in commercial
preparations. The Beer-Lambert law and two chemometric approaches, partial least
squares (PLS) and principal component regression (PCR+) methods, were tried in data
processing.
