Abstract

Sesame oil which is one of the most popular and expensive edible oils, is prone to adulteration. High price of Sesame oil has motivated adulterers to mix the high-quality Sesame oil with low-quality, less expensive vegetable oils. In this study, the fatty-acid profiles of sesame, rapeseed, sunflower oil samples as well as their mixtures (0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50% levels) were determined using Gas Chromatography. Also, Machine olfaction system containing 10 MOS sensors was utilized for detection experiments. Sensor response patterns were used for analyzing and recognizing pattern of electronic-nose signals using multivariate data analysis, including Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Linear Discriminant Analyses (LDA), Partial Least Squares (PLS), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Results of the SVM with RFB kernel in C-SVM method had the highest classification accuracy. The accuracy of training and validation were 96.34 and 90.56%, respectively, and next were LDA and KNN models with classification accuracies of 92.30% and 89.94%, respectively. In the light of these results, the proposed models along with the measurement system represent excellent tools for the detection of sesame seed oil adulteration with cheaper vegetable oils.
