optical rotation [′äp·tə·kəl rō′tā·shən]

(optics)

Rotation of the plane of polarization of plane-polarized light, or of the major axis of the polarization ellipse of elliptically polarized light by transmission through a substance or medium.

Discrimination of chiral compounds using NMR spectroscopy by SciTech Book News L, dl- and 1-isomers can be distinguished optically by using refractometric techniques that determine the specific rotation and therefore the optical purity of the isomer. Biosint S.p.A. and L-carnitine production. (Advertisement) by Hassen, Ken / Nutraceuticals World It is said to have exceptional optical purity and clarity, with a refractive index of 1.
