Abstract

The paper examines the characterization of Aquilaria essential oils from different species, namely Aquilaria malaccensis, Aquilaria beccariana, Aquilaria crassna, and Aquilaria subintegra, renowned for agarwood production in Malaysia. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) were employed for extracting essential oil data, facilitating compound identification. Subsequently, a preliminary analysis focused on classifying significant chemical compounds in the samples. The study then utilized boxplot pre-processing for visualizing and interpreting data distribution. The statistical analyses were performed using MATLAB software version R2021b, considering two key parameters which are the peak area (%) of significant chemical compounds and the classification of Aquilaria species (A. beccariana, A. malaccensis, A. crassna, and A. subintegra) based on their chemical composition. The results, presented through boxplot analyses, demonstrated a clear representation of the parameters and their distribution in the data. This method not only confirmed the potential of boxplot analysis in statistical evaluation of significant compounds in Aquilaria essential oil but also suggested its applicability for further classification work.

Abstract

Accurate classification of Aquilaria oil species is essential for ensuring the quality and authenticity of agarwood oils, which are widely used in perfumes and traditional medicine. This study investigated the effectiveness of the k-nearest neighbours (k-NN) machine learning model for classifying Aquilaria oil species based on four significant chemical compounds: dihyro-βagarofuran, δ-guaiene, 10-epi-γ-eudesmol, and γ-eudesmol. The dataset comprised 480 samples of Aquilaria oil, which were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID). The k-NN model, with an optimal k-value of 10 and using euclidean distance as the distance metric, achieved 100% accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and precision in both training and testing datasets. These results demonstrate the robustness of k-NN in species identification, highlighting the discriminative power of the selected compounds. This study verifies that the integration of chemical profiling with machine learning offers a scalable solution for accurate species identification in the essential oil industry. Future work could explore hybrid models and data expansion techniques to further enhance the classification performance in more complex environmental conditions.

Abstract

Agarwood, a prized non-timber resource from the Aquilaria genus, is highly valued for its aromatic and medicinal properties, playing a significant role in the healthcare, fragrance, and pharmaceutical industries. This research analyzes essential oils from four Aquilaria species-A. beccariana, A. malaccensis, A. crassna, and A. subintegra-using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID). The primary objective is to optimize classification efficiency by reducing computational time and reducing multicollinearity through feature selection. Pearson correlation analysis revealed strong relationships among six chemical compounds-β-selinene (A), dihydro-β-agarofuran (B), δguaiene (C), 10-epi-γ-eudesmol (D), γ-eudesmol (E), and pentadecanoic acid (F). Through feature selection, the three most significant compoundsdihydro-β-agarofuran (B), γ-eudesmol (D), and 10-epi-γ-eudesmol (E)-were identified, achieving a remarkable 90.02% reduction in computational time (from 0.0403 to 0.0040 seconds). These findings highlight the effectiveness of structured feature selection in refining essential oil profiling and enhancing species classification accuracy. Future research directions include exploring machine learning-based feature selection techniques to further streamline feature reduction processes and expand the scope of essential oil authentication. This study contributes to advancing the scientific understanding and practical utilization of agarwood essential oils, paving the way for more efficient and reliable analytical frameworks.

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.
