Abstract

Agarwood (Aquilaria Malaccensis) oil stands out as one of the most valuable and highly sought-after oils with a hefty price tag due to its widespread use of fragrances, incense, perfumes, ceremonial practices, medicinal applications and as a symbol of luxury. However, nowadays the conventional method that rely on color alone has its limitations as it yields varying results depending on individual panelists' experiences. Hence, the quality identification system of Agarwood oil using its chemical compounds had been proposed in this study to enhance the precision of the Agarwood oil grades thus addressing the shortcomings of traditional methods. This study indicates that the primary chemical compounds of Agarwood oil encompass ɤ-Eudesmol, ar-curcumene, β-dihydroagarofuran, ϒ-cadinene, α-agarofuran, allo-aromadendrene epoxide, valerianol, α-guaiene, 10-epi-ɤ-eudesmol, β-agarofuran and dihydrocollumellarin. This study employed artificial neural network analysis with the implementation of Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm to identify the Agarwood oil grades. The study's findings revealed that this modeling system of five grades got 100% accuracies with mean square error of 0.14338×10-08. Notably, this lowest mean square error (MSE) value falls within the best hidden neuron 3. These study outcomes play a pivotal role in highlighting the Levenberg Marquardt- artificial neural network (LM-ANN) modeling that contribute to the successful of Agarwood oil quality identification using its chemical compounds.

Abstract

Aquilaria Malaccensis was found to generate agarwood. Because of its multiple benefits, agarwood essential oil, sometimes known as “black gold” is highly regarded universally. There is currently no accepted method for classifying various grades of agarwood essential oil. Due to the fact that the agarwood essential oil is assessed using a human sensory panel, the existing grading method is ineffective. Since different people may have different viewpoints on how to grade agarwood essential oil, it is not practical to apply the method universally. Several innovative methods for determining the classification of agarwood essential oil have been proposed and put into practise as a result of advanced technology. The study has constructed a pattern analysis on different grades of agarwood essential oil using 2D scatter plot. The results successfully indicate the scatter plots are scattered groupedly.

Abstract

The paper interprets data distribution by using boxplot pre-processing in classify the quality of Agarwood oil for eleven chemical substances into four different qualities. The varieties usage of Agarwood oil makes it considered as an expensive and valuable product on the essential oil market. Perfumes, fragrances, incense, aromatherapy, and traditional medicine are the most popular Agarwood oil applications. However, the classification of Agarwood oil grades does not yet have standard grading method. This because it has been graded manually into different qualities by using human sensory evaluation. Boxplot analysis involving eleven chemical subtances that will be focusing in this study by concerned the quality for low, medium low, medium high and high. ɤ-eudesmol, ar-curcumene, β-dihydro agarofuran, ϒ-cadinene, α-agarofuran, allo aromadendrene epoxide, valerianol, α-guaiene, 10-epi-ɤ-eudesmol, β-agarofuran, and dihydrocollumellarin compounds are the selected significant compounds that represent the input for boxplot. Agarwood oil consist 660 data samples from low, medium low, medium high, and high quality. The result in this study showed that the four selected significant compounds (ɤ-eudesmol, 10-epi-ɤ-eudesmol, β-agarofuran, and dihydrocollumellarin) are important as a marker for Agarwood oil quality classification. The identification of chemical substances on high quality done as reference for future research studies.

Abstract

The intelligent drying rack system (IIDRS) proposes an innovative approach to modernize clothes drying practices using internet of things (IoT) technology. Combining an Arduino Uno microcontroller, ESP8266 for data transmission, and an array of sensors including limit switches, light dependent resistors (LDRs), rain sensors, and temperature/humidity sensors, the IIDRS enables automated control of the drying rack and fan. Its remote accessibility via Blynk apps allows users to conveniently adjust settings and monitor drying progress. By autonomously adjusting drying cycles based on real-time environmental conditions, the IIDRS enhances efficiency and minimizes inconveniences such as wet clothes during rainfall. Moreover, it contributes to sustainable living by optimizing energy consumption through weather-based operation. With its intuitive interface and compatibility with modern lifestyles, the IIDRS represents a significant advancement in smart home solutions, showcasing the transformative potential of IoT technologies in everyday tasks.

Abstract

Agarwood oil, known as ‘black gold’ or the ‘wood of God,’ is a globally prized essential oil derived naturally from the Aquilaria tree. Despite its significance, the current non-standardized grading system varies worldwide, relying on subjective assessments. This paper addresses the need for a consistent classification model by presenting an overview of Aquilaria malaccensis oil quality using the self-organizing map (SOM) algorithm. Derived from the Thymelaeaceae family, Aquilaria malaccensis is a primary source of agarwood trees in the Malay Archipelago. Agarwood oil extraction involves traditional methods like solvent extraction and hydro-distillation, yielding a complex mixture of chromone derivatives, oxygenated sesquiterpenes, and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons. This study categorizes agarwood oil into high and low grades based on chemical compounds, utilizing the SOM algorithm with inputs of three specific compounds: β-agarofuran, α-agarofuran, and 10-epi-φ-eudesmol. Findings demonstrate the efficacy of SOM-based quality grading in distinguishing agarwood oil grades, offering a significant contribution to the field. The non-standardized grading system's inefficiency and subjectivity underscore the necessity for a standardized model, making this research crucial for the agarwood industry's advancement.

Abstract

Agarwood oil is highly valued in perfumes, incense, and traditional medicine. However, the lack of standardized grading methods poses challenges for consistent quality assessment. This study proposes a data-driven classification approach using the nonlinear autoregressive with exogenous inputs (NARX) model, implemented in MATLAB R2020a with the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm. The dataset, sourced from the Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah under the Bio Aromatic Research Centre of Excellence (BARCE) and Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM), comprises chemical compound data used for model training and validation. To optimize model performance, the number of hidden neurons is systematically adjusted. Model evaluation uses performance metrics such as mean squared error (MSE), root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), coefficient of determination (R²), epochs, accuracy, and model validation. Results show that the NARX model effectively classifies agarwood oil into four quality grades which is high, medium-high, medium-low, and low. The best performance is achieved with three hidden neurons, offering a balance between accuracy and computational efficiency. This work demonstrates the potential of automated, standardized agarwood oil quality grading. Future research should explore alternative training algorithms and larger datasets to further enhance model robustness and generalizability.
