Abstract
A near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic method was developed to measure peroxide value (PV) in crude palm oil (CPO). Calibration standards were prepared by oxidizing CPO in a fermentor at 90°C. A partial least squares (PLS) calibration model for predicting PV was developed based on the NIR spectral region from 1350 to 1480 nm with reference to single-point baseline at 1514 nm. The optimization of calibration factors was guided by the predicted residual error sum of squares test. The standard error of calibration obtained was 0.156 over the analytical range of 2.17–10.28 PV and the correlation coefficient (R 2) was 0.994. The method was validated with an independent set of samples which was prepared in the same manner on a different day. A linear relationship between the American Oil Chemists’ Society and the NIR methods was obtained with R 2 of 0.996 and standard error of performance of 0.17. This study has demonstrated that the prediction of PV in the NIR region is possible. The method developed is rapid, with total analysis time less than 2 min, is environmentally friendly, and its accuracy is generally good for quality control of CPO.
