AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Stanley Claud Elliott Jr. (Name) in Chemistry, (Major) for the Master of Science (Degree) presented on Title: A QUADRATIC PROGRAMMING ROUTINE FOR THE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF GAS CHROMATOGRAPHIC DATA Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Stephen J. Hawkes A quadratic programming method was developed for the statisti- cal analysis of gas chromatographic data. The method was applied to three types of flavor extracts, peppermint, hops and brewed tea. The brewed tea data had to be abandoned because of the singularity of its coveriance matrix. In all cases tried the method was able to pick the exact origin of a pure hop or peppermint oil. The method was able to classify blends of hop oils with less than five percent absolute error for hypothetical blended values in proportions from zero to 100 percent of the whole. The results for blends of peppermint oils were not as straightforward. Some blends of peppermint were correctly classified with less than a ten percent absolute error over a greater composition range than others. When one three component blend and one four component blend of the peppermint oil were tried the method classified them correctly. The method can be applied to any problem in which more than one parameter is needed to produce a classification.

Such questions are origin of an oil, price of an oil, variety of plant which produced the oil, percent composition of similar oils in blends and many others. What is needed is a good general method that will provide this kind of information for all such problems. The purpose of this study was to investigate such a method. 2 STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS The problems of interest are ones that can be handled by multi- variate statistics. The density function of a multivariate normal distribution of the type of interest may be written in n dimensional space as: 1 (270-2n 1 exp - (1) (X (note that in one dimension this is the familiar Gaussian distribution) where x is the observation vector (i. e. lxn matrix of observed peak areas for one oil the covariance matrix of the form: 10 1 Co.0 1 and -1 . U2 .1 ts inverse. An inverse is a matrix such that its -1 = I (2) where I is a identity matrix. A matrix is invertable if and only if it is nxn and nonsingular (the determinant is not zero) p, is the vec- tor of means of the parameters of interest (i. e. relative areas). the mean vector could be written as Now a. p.. where ai is the proportion of the ith oil and Ili its mean vector. Then what is needed in our type of problem are estimates of the ats. 3 The problem can therefore be stated in a mathematical model similar to that of Hartmann and Hawkes (3): min (x subject to (21 < 1 for all i a.< 1 and 0 < a.i-1 1 Estimates of pure components. . can be determined from data on the and Substituting the estimators back into Equation (1) we obtain: min (x subject to a.-5c- .1'S 1 1 (x - (3) 1 1 1 a. < 1 and 0 < a. < 1 when the matrix multiplication in Equation (3) is carried out we produce an objective equation, in matrix notation of the form: -1 x'S lx - 2x'S a .3-c )+ a.x.)S 1 1 - 1 (4) or in algebraic notation: 2 a. + B a.a.j + C a. + D (5) where A, B, C and D are constants calculated from the -X.'s, 5-1 and the observation vector x This objective function along with the constraints can be handled by a non-linear programming method to solve for the als. The 0. S. U. 4 computer center has two possible routines *FLEXI (4) and MSUMT (5, 6, 7). MSUMT being the most desirable in that it uses 1/6 of time that *FLEXI would use to reach a solution, (5 sec vs 30 sec). 5 METHODOLOGY In order to evaluate the power of such a method, three different types of flavor extract were chosen because of their availability, though crude oil data should also be amenable to this treatment as should any complex mixture. They were mint oil (Smith et al. (8)), hop oil (Buttery et al, (9)) and extract of brewed tea (Vuataz et al. (10)). In order to simplify our discussion the individual samples were given numbers indicating their origin or variety which will be called oil numbers (i. e, in the mint data all of the U. S. Mid-West oil samples have the number one in common). The mint oil data was the same as that used by Hartmann and Hawkes (3) from Smith and Levi (8). Smith and Levi's analyses re- ported fifteen peaks of which we used twelve excluding two because the concentrations were too low and a third being the pure menthol peak to eliminate the effect of dementholation in the original data (Table 1). All peaks in the mint oils were calculated as percents of the totally dementholated oil. The mean vectors (Table 2) for this data were ob- tained from Hawkes (11), and the inverted covariance matrix (Table 3) calculated by use of a statistical library program (12).

So it was necessary to transform the peaks into data values that represent groups of peaks, with the same significance in the decision making process as the original peaks. This process was accomplished by use of the large factor analy- sis program (13) of the computer center. This produced ten data values for the tea data (Table 6) and nine data values for the hop data. (It should be noted that in practice the factor matrix needs to be calcu. lated only once for any type of problem.) It was then discovered that the S matrix for the transformed tea data is singular (the determinant is zero within the limits of the computer) and so the tea data could not be handled by the method described in this paper. The hop data was satisfactory and the mean vectors and the in- verted covariance matrix were calculated with the same program (12) that was used for the tea data (Table 7, hop mean vectors; Table 8, covariance matrix). In order to verify the power of the method the composition of hypothetical blends were calculated. For example if we want to make a 50-50 blend we pick one oil from one subgroup and one from another then halve each of the data points (i. e. half of area for each peak) for each oil and then add the corresponding data points together to make an observation vector. In the case of the hop data such a vector would be reduced by multiplying by the calculated factor matrix for this data.

The method was able to exactly pick which group the pure oil belonged to. The MSUMT routine was able to class- ify the mixture within five percent of the hypothetical blended value for the nine blends tried ranging in values from ten to 90 percent of the whole. The mint data can be divided into two groups, those numbered one through six (Mentha piperita oils) which contain no octanol but do contain menthofuran and those numbered seven through ten (Mentha arvensis oils) which contain octanol but no menthofuran. The routine MSUMT was used for all mint classifications. Mentha Arvensis Oils (Seven-Ten) An oil from group seven (Brazilian) and one from group nine (Japanese) were chosen at random and the routine classified them unambiguously, estimating the fraction of the oil coming from other origins at less than 0. 01 percent in the Brazilian and less than two percent in the Japanese. The routine was then used to find the concentration of these oils in hypothetical blends with each other and with oils from other origins, 17 Table 9. Hop oils.

Of the 27 hypothetical two component blends and one three component blend of these oils with other oils ranging in value from 30 to 95 percent of the whole for oil number seven and 45 to 95 percent of the whole for oil number nine, the absolute error was less than two percent. In the case of the four component blend (which contained two piperita oils which are discussed in the next section) the absolute error was less than two percent for oil nine and less than four percent for oil seven (Table 10). Mentha Piperita Oils (One-Six) The classifications between oils from origins one through six were not as good. The results seem to depend on which pair is used to make up the mixture. For instance in the classification between origins one (U. S. Mid-West) and origin seven (Brazilian) the absolute errors range from five percent when the hypothetical percentage for component one was five percent of the whole to less than three percent when the hypothetical value was 70 percent. In the case of ten blends of origin one and four (Italian) the routine was able to classify this pair with absolute errors of less than seven percent when the hypothetical percentage of oil four was 40 percent of the whole to less than three percent when the hypothetical percentage was 95 percent. The absolute error for origin one varied from 12 percent when the hypothetical percentage of the oil was 20 percent Blends of mentha piperita with mentha arvensis oils. Table 10.

Fouteen other hypothetical blends tried are shown in (Table 12). Thirteen of these blends were from origin three (Yakima Valley) and five (English). In these blends the sum of the values picked by the routine from origin one and three is quite close to the hypothetical value for origin three (.3100 when the hypothetical value was 30 percent). This can be expected since the plants that pro- duced both of these oils were descended from Italian plants and the weather in both areas is similar. However it should be noted that if all U. S. origins were lumped together, the method would be able to exactly classify such a category. The same problem arises in the cases of the three component blend and the four component blend. Note in the case of the four component, the absolute error for origin five is less than one percent, while that for origin three is not as good. (Note lumping origin one and three together would produce an absolute error of less than three percent for such a origin.) This method is the first to the author's knowledge to classify three and four component blends. When blends of oils one and four with five percent of oil seven blended in were tried, it was found that an absolute error in the value for the number four oil in the 55 to 95 percent range was reduced to within five percent (Table 13). This could mean that the value of some oils could be improved by spiking in certain other oils. If this was Blends of mentha piperita origins one and four. Table 11.

It should be noted that an error in classification does not mean necessarily a wrong answer but the possibility of producing the sample by the blend picked. It should be noted that all of the oils numbered one through six are botanically related being descended from English plants so that some difficulty in their classification can be expected. 31 CONCLUSION The quadratic minimization routine seems to be a promising method to handle gas chromatographic data to answer such questions as compositions of blends of oils. The whole data handling package can be combined to produce rapid answers by interfacing a gas chromatograph with a computer. Greater accuracy could be obtained by obtain- ing data with the accuracy needed for the desired problem. The method could be applied to any problem that produces several measurable parameters subject to natural variations. 32 BIBLIOGRAPHY 1. Anderson, T. W.

APPENDIX 34 APPENDIX Explanation of Sample Input File-Appendix Table 1 The sample input file shown is for a mint blend. The file can be divided into two parts. The first half which would not change for any mint blend problem contains control parameter cards for MSUMT. The inequality constraints are contained in this part of the file. The second half of the file contains the A vector, the B matrix of Equation (5) of the main text and a vector of zeros. The vector of zeros con- tains one zero for each a. . The format for this half of the input file is 8F10. 5. Several files of different problems like hop and mint oils or several groups of origin problems can be combined, the advantage being that only one loading operation need be carried out instead of several. The input files are set up as the example to take advantage of a compiled program called *USERSUB that will generate the objective functions and their gradients. *USERSUB eliminates the need to write input programs for MSUMT. If one has only one type of problem (i. e. only origin of mint oil) a program could be written that would only require that raw data be entered to produce an output. 35 Following the table is a sample output.
