Amide I band (Collagen ratio between the mature pyridinoline crosslink peaks (PYR)– 1660 cm-1 and immature crosslinking dihydroxinorleucina (DHLNL) - 1690 cm-1); Crystallinity Index (The intensity ratio of peaks 551 and 597 cm-1 for 588 cm-1); Matrix-to-mineral ratio: Amide I + II/Hydroxyapatite (HA) (The ratio between integrated areas of amide I + II (1520–1720 cm-1) for HA (916–1180 cm-1)) and Amide III + Collagen/HA (The ratio between integrated areas of amide III (1210–1270 cm-1) with two collagen bands (1269–1296 cm-1 and 1180–1213 cm-1) for HA (916–1180 cm-1).
