In the petroleum industry, crude oil is extracted in the form of an oil–water emulsion (OWE). Understanding this emulsion is crucial for further processing and utilization. This research investigates the use of experimental data from a tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) sensor to characterize and quantify the stability of OWE while focusing on the impact analysis of parameters using machine learning (ML) and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) techniques. The dataset consisting of experimental TFBG spectra (wavelength range: 1250–1650 nm) included parameters such as revolutions per minute (RPM) of the rotator, surfactant concentration (C s
