Description
Summary:Rapid and nondestructive measurement of moisture content in crude palm oil is essential for promoting the shelf-stability and quality. In this research, micro NIR spectrometer coupled with a multivariate calibration model was used to collect and analyse fingerprinted information from palm oil samples at different moisture contents. Several preprocessing methods such as standard normal variant (SNV), multiplicative scatter correction (MSC), Savitzky–Golay first derivative (SGD1), Savitzky–Golay second derivative (SGD2) together with partial least square (PLS) regression techniques, full PLS, interval PLS (iPLS), synergy interval PLS (SiPLS), genetic algorithm PLS (GAPLS), and successive projection algorithm PLS (SPA-PLS) were comparatively employed to construct an optimum quantitative prediction model for moisture content in crude palm oil. The models were evaluated according to the coefficient of determination and root mean square error in calibration (Rc and RMSEC) and prediction (Rp and RMSEC) set, respectively. The model SGD1 + SiPLS was the optimal novel algorithm obtained among the others with the performance of Rc = 0.968 and RMSEC = 0.468 in the calibration set and Rp = 0.956 and RMSEP = 0.361 in the prediction set. The results showed that rapid and nondestructive determination of moisture content in palm oil is feasible and this would go a long way to facilitating quality control of crude palm oil.
