Discrimination Of Lard And Other Edible Fats After Heating Treatments Using Partial Least Square Regression (plsr), Principal Component Regression (pcr) And Linear Support Vector Machine Regression (svmr).

Discrimination between lard and other edibles fats is a challenging task for halal determination especially after the fats were heated at high temperature for a long period. In this study, three multivariate regression models such as partial least square regression (PLSR), principal component regression (PCR) and support vector machine regression (SVMR) were applied to evaluate the spectral data of FTIR (n=195) obtained from lard, chicken, beef, mutton and vegetable fats after heated at different conditions (120-240°C and 0.5-3 hrs). The regression of the Y-binary matrix was used to discriminate lard (as 1) and the others edibles fats (as 0). Kennard Stone (KS) algorithm selected a subset of the training set (n=145) and test set (n=50). The test set was used to validate the prediction ability of the suggested models. The obtained results showed the ability of the three proposed models to discriminate the heated lard simultaneously. The values of the R2 , adjusted R2 , root-mean-square error (RMSE) and root mean-square error of validation (RMSEV) showed a good results under Basic ATR correction transformation as PLSR (0.984, 0.977, 0.052 and 0.062); PCR (0.974, 0.971, 0.067 and 0.070), and SVMR (0.971, 0.959, 0.087 and 0.102) respectively. However, when using mean square error (MSE), it gives lower prediction error for PLSR (0.006), PCR (0.007) and SVMR (0.015). The results showed that PLSR as the best model for discrimination spectral data of lard and other edible fats after heating treatments for halal determination.
