Development of synbiotic tepache for health

Tepache is a traditional Mexican fermented beverage commonly made using pineapple peels, which naturally contain sugars and the enzyme bromelain. These components contribute to its distinctive aroma and unique flavor. This project aims to develop a health-enhancing tepache by fermenting pineapple peels with probiotic yeast and lactic acid bacteria. Additionally, prebiotics, including inulin and xylo-oligosaccharides, are incorporated as nutrients to support probiotic growth. The resulting synbiotic tepache promotes gut microbiota balance, exhibits antioxidant properties, and enhances the immune system, making it a functional and beneficial beverage for consumers.

A dual coil induction heating machine for jewelry factories developed by electromagnetic analysis

Induction Heating Machine (IHM) is a crucial device in the jewelry industry, utilizing electromagnetic fields to generate heat and join precious metals. This research focuses on developing a Dual Coil Induction Heating Machine (Dual Coil IHM) to enhance production efficiency and reduce costs in jewelry factories using Electromagnetic Analysis (EMA) through Ansys Maxwell software. The research process began with testing a single-coil IHM under real operating conditions and using EMA to analyze the generated magnetic flux density (B). Subsequently, dual-coil configurations in Parallel and Series arrangements were designed and compared. The experimental results revealed that the series dual coil produced a higher magnetic flux and allowed for optimizing current (I), frequency (f), number of coil turns (N), and coil spacing (d) for better manufacturing performance. The findings indicate that the series dual-coil IHM can double production capacity compared to the conventional single-coil model. Furthermore, EMA technology minimizes physical testing, reduces errors, and enhances precision in designing industrial machinery for the jewelry manufacturing sector.
