Free Fatty Acid (FFA) value is widely used as an indicator for crude palm oil (CPO) quality. However, current methods used to measure FFA value are quite time consuming and complex. The application of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has drawn the interest to replace the conventional methods to meas...
