Spectral characterization revealed that pure temulawak and pure Metanil Yellow exhibited maximum absorption peaks (λmax) in close proximity within the visible region at 424.50 nm and 418.00 nm, respectively (Δλ = 6.50 nm), with a high cosine similarity of 0.980, indicating severe spectral overlap. Component resolution using Multivariate Curve Resolution-Alternating Least Squares (MCR-ALS) over the 220–600 nm range successfully decomposed the mixture spectra into two primary components (R2 = 99.99998%; model LOF = 0.04573%), identifying Component 1 as temulawak (cosine similarity = 0.9898; LOF = 14.23%) and Component 2 as Metanil Yellow (cosine similarity = 0.9985; LOF = 5.48%), supported by Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (79.52% similarity). For quantitative modeling, Full-Spectrum Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR, Factor-4, 220–600 nm) demonstrated the best and most consistent performance with calibration R2 = 0.9981 (RMSEC = 0.0624 mg/L), cross-validation R2 = 0.9625 (RMSECV = 0.3200 mg/L), and exceptional predictive accuracy on an test set (R2 prediction = 0.9941; RMSEP = 0.0384 mg/L; mean recovery = 101.82%; %RSD = 2.36%), with 100% of test samples meeting the AOAC acceptance criteria (80–110%). In contrast, Reduced-Spectrum PLSR (Factor-5) suffered from severe overfitting (R2 prediction = 0.0854; %RSD = 60.30%). Meanwhile, Stepwise Multiple Linear Regression (SMLR) successfully selected two statistically significant wavelengths (415.50 and 424.50 nm, p < 0.05), yielding a parsimonious model with stable predictive performance (R2 validation = 0.986182; RMSEP = 0.2203 mg/L). Consequently, the combination of UV-Vis spectrophotometry and chemometrics (MCR-ALS alongside full-spectrum PLSR / SMLR) proves to be an effective tool for rapid screening and quantitative assay of Metanil Yellow adulteration in herbal temulawak products.543 Kimia Analitikal, Kimia Analisis2026-08-24UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS SAINS DAN TEKNOLOGIThesis
