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.

Abstract

Agarwood derived from 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 via hydro-distillation and profiled using GC–MS coupled with 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. As shown in Tables 5 and 6, the optimized network achieved near-perfect performance with mean accuracy of ~99.8% (95% CI: 99.6–100.0) and precision, recall, and F1-scores all exceeding 99.5%, while 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.
