Spectroscopy is used in physical and analytical chemistry because atoms and molecules have unique spectra. As a result, these spectra can be used to detect, identify and quantify information about the atoms and molecules. Application is made of this tool in biosurfactant study when trying to characterize a biosurfactant molecule. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy demystifies the functional groups in biosurfactant molecules in preparation for mass spectroscopy which is frequently employed for structural characterization. The Gas chromatography - Mass spectrometry technique combines the separation properties of gas-liquid chromatography with the detection feature of mass spectrometry to identify different substances within a test sample based on characteristic fragmentation patterns at specific retention times. Literature is replete with these information. Just take some time and go through them.
may be a biosurfactants, but to confirm you should optimize the experimental condition (in batch cultures for 96 hours at optimum conditions), for measuring Surface tension measurement ( tensiometer) , Emulsification index (E24), Drop collapsing test or others qualitatives tests.
