Min/Mat = peak area ratio of integrated areas of phosphate/amide I bands

CO3/PO4 = peak area ratio of integrated areas of carbonate (850-890 cm-1)/phosphate bands

Crystallinity = peak height intensity of subbands at 1030 cm-1(stoichiometric apatite) / 1020 cm-1 (non-stoichiometric apatite)

XLR = collagen cross link ratio; peak height intensity ratio of subbands at 1660 cm-1 /1683 cm-1
