Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectra in the 1600-100 cm-1 range have been employed in a structural analysis of biopolymers of the polygalactane type. In spite of the complexity of the spectra in this region, precise assignments have been made, first on the basis of previously calculated frequencies of the basic unit (D-galactose) and secondly by comparing the spectra of kappa-, iota-, and lambda-carrageenans, as well as agar and appropriate disaccharides. The results of this work provide confirmation of previous assignments of IR absorptions at 930, 820, 805 and 845 cm-1 and the interpretation of several other bands, notably those due to bending vibrations of the glycosidic linkages and those between 1040 and 1010 cm-1. The latter are associated with the O=S=O symmetrical stretch. Assignments are also presented for the 700-100 cm-1 region, on which there are no previous reports. The present analysis may provide a basis for further studies of the conformational changes accompanying gelation, a process which is different from one polygalactane to another.
