ABSTRACT
FTIR analysis is robust technique which can be used to identify functional groups of given material. In the present study an attempt was made to profile the cestode powder of Raillietina tetragona for the first time. The study was quite successful and FTIR analysis of the cestode powder yielded interesting results. The spectrum ranged from 1000- 3500cm-1. A total of 19 major peaks were identified, of which five were the sharp peaks.
