Classification, FFA, SVMAbstract
Background: Palm oil is one of the key commodities in both the food and non-food industries, with its quality largely influenced by the level of Free Fatty Acid (FFA). Obejctive: High FFA content can reduce the stability and market value of the oil. Classify palm oil quality based on FFA levels using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm. Methods: FFA levels were measured across multiple samples with varying usage frequencies (0, 5, 7, and 9 cycles) using the alkalimetric titration method. The measured data was categorized as "Suitable" if FFA ≤ 0.3% and "Unsuitable" if it exceeded this threshold. The developed SVM model was trained using 70% of the data and tested with the remaining 30%. Results: Evaluation results indicate that the model achieved an accuracy of 95%, a precision of 92%, and a recall of 94%, demonstrating SVM's effectiveness in classifying data. Additionally, hyperplane visualization using PCA provided a clearer distinction between oil categories based on FFA levels. Conclusion: This study highlights that SVM can serve as an effective alternative for FFA-based palm oil quality classification. The implementation of this model is expected to enhance efficiency in the palm oil industry, particularly.
