Abstract

Agarwood, derived from the Aquilaria species, is among the most valuable aromatic resources, yet frequent species misidentification hampers conservation efforts and compliance with trade regulations. This study applied a chemometric ANN framework to classify four Aquilaria species (A. malaccensis, A. beccariana, A. subintegra, and A. crassna) based on essential oil composition. A total of 720 samples (180 per species, each analyzed in triplicate) were extracted by hydrodistillation and profiled using GC–MS coupled to GC–FID. Six compounds were consistently detected, and three (δ-guaiene, 10-epi-γ-eudesmol, γ-eudesmol) were retained for classification based on ≥95% detection frequency and >0.2% relative abundance. Pearson correlation guided feature selection, and ANN models were trained using both a 70:15:15 train–validation–test split and stratified 5-fold cross-validation with 1000 bootstrap resamples. The optimized network achieved near-perfect performance, with a mean accuracy of ~99.8% (95% CI: 99.6–100.0), and precision, recall, and F1 scores all exceeding 99.5%. In comparison, bootstrapped confidence intervals were tightly bounded at 100%, confirming robustness against data leakage. These findings demonstrate that correlation-guided feature selection combined with ANN modeling enables reproducible and highly accurate species authentication, offering a practical framework for integration into agarwood quality control, conservation monitoring, and international trade compliance.

Abstract

Agarwood essential oil is used in most perfumery ingredients, as an incense and in traditional medical preparations. Agarwood essential oil, called "Black Gold," is extremely valued to the global community due to its numerous benefits. As of now, there is still no standard technique of grading different grades of agarwood essential oil. The current grading technique is inefficient since the agarwood essential oil is graded by using human sensory panel. Different people might have different perspective on grading the agarwood essential oil hence, the technique is not practical to adapt it globally. Due to the current technology, numerous intelligent techniques for verifying the grades of agarwood essential oil have been proposed and implemented. The study has conducted a statistical analysis on 4 grade agarwood essential oil using boxplot. Boxplot analysis summarizes the abundances for each chemical compounds from four different grades of agarwood essential oil with a high grade as a reference. This study shows the analysis of boxplot investigated 10-epi-δ-eudesmol, α-agarofuran, β-agarofuran, δ-eudesmol and dihydrocollumellarin as most important chemical compounds in high grade of agarwood essential oil. The chemical compounds that have been identified in high grade of agarwood essential oil can be a reference for future research studies.

Abstract

Agarwood oil quality is often separated into two or three categories. This makes classifying agarwood oil quality using current methods difficult. Current approaches rely solely on human perception to determine the quality of agarwood, whether in raw material or oil. This technique has other undesirable implications. It can affect the human sensory system, particularly the eyes and nose. Categorization takes time, which is a considerable expense to succeed in this method. As a result, a new classification system should be devised. The chemical components in agarwood oil are used to classify it in this study. In this study, samples with preprocessing data from two to five quality levels were used. The purpose is to categorize this data based on its qualities and analyze whether this new quality group is acceptable. The K-nearest neighbours (KNN) approach was used to classify all samples and their properties for this dataset. All samples may be correctly classified by grade without any errors. This shows the chemical compound-based classification of agarwood oil can be retained. With these findings, future agarwood oil research may focus on building a new classification.

Abstract

This study analyzes the chemical diversity of essential oils from four Aquilaria species, A. beccariana, A. malaccensis, A. crassna, and A. subintegra, which are important sources of agarwood used in perfumery and traditional medicine. Despite their economic and ecological value, the chemical profiles of these species remain insufficiently characterized, hindering accurate species differentiation and resource management. This research aims to identify distinctive chemical patterns to improve species classification. Self-organizing maps (SOMs) were employed to analyze complex chemical composition data and to identify significant compounds responsible for species separation. The analysis revealed several compounds with strong discriminatory power and species-specific distribution patterns, with compounds C, D, and E identified as the most significant markers. These findings demonstrate substantial biochemical diversity among Aquilaria species and confirm the effectiveness of SOM for essential oil profiling. The results support improved species identification and have important implications for ecological conservation, sustainable agarwood management, and pharmacological development.

Abstract

This study explores the application of machine learning (ML) techniques in the classification of agarwood oil, focusing on the use of various algorithms such as k-nearest neighbors (KNN), support vector machines (SVM), random forest (RF), and artificial neural networks (ANN). Since 2013, ML has played a pivotal role in analyzing agarwood oil, particularly by leveraging data from a variety of chemical compounds found in the Aquilaria genus. Through a systematic review and bibliometric analysis using the SCOPUS database, this study compiles and highlights recent works that have successfully employed ML techniques for the quality assessment of agarwood oil. These studies utilize chemical data, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), for the classification and detection of different oil grades. The review reveals a broad range of ML applications, demonstrating their growing importance in the field of essential oil analysis. By systematically presenting the findings from recent research, this work emphasizes the potential for further exploration of ML in the standardization and improvement of agarwood oil classification techniques.
