ATR-FTIR spectroscopy allows obtaining qualitative information about the anhydrous BS-SBP3 or EPS-SBP3 and the two hydrated biopolymers. To collect the spectra of anhydrous and progressively hydrated BS-SBP3 or EPS-SBP3, an ATR-FTIR Vertex 70 V spectrometer from Bruker Optics with a platinum diamond was used. The ATR-FTIR spectra were collected using an average of 64 scans with a resolution of 4 cm−1 in the spectral range of 500 ÷ 4000 cm−1. To decrease the instrumental noise of the spectra, the data were pre-processed using Bruker OPUS software, performing (i) the baseline and (ii) the smoothing treatments. Finally, a procedure to normalize the spectra, with specific reference to some bands having the same intensity in each region, has allowed reducing the differences between one measurement and another [53 (link)]. After this procedure, data were processed in a MATLAB environment.

ATR-FTIR Analysis of Carbohydrate Interactions
The intramolecular OH-stretching band frequency shift evaluation and the wavelet cross-correlation analysis were performed by MATLAB 2016a software (Mathworks, Natick, USA). The spectral distance calculation was performed by Origin 9 software package (OriginLab Co., Northampton, USA).
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
