Fig. 4

FT-IR spectra of chondroitin sulfate (CS) samples of the suppliers. a Spectra of all samples analyzed from supplier 1 (S1), and the red line represents the average curve. b Spectra of all samples analyzed from supplier 2 (S2), and the red line represents the average curve. c Comparative analyses of peak areas of different bands of CS samples between the suppliers. Bands related to OH (> 2000 cm− 1), sulfonate (1350 cm− 1), S=O (1250 cm− 1), and C–O–S (850 cm− 1) stretching were selected. The statistical analyses were performed using the Mann-Whitney test. Values are expressed as mean ± SD (p < 0.05)
