3D-Printed Spectrophotometer for Determination of Formaldehyde in Fresh Seafood

3D-Printed Spectrophotometer for Determination of Formaldehyde in Fresh Seafood

Abstract

This research focuses on the development of a 3D-printed spectrophotometer. The device was designed using AutoCAD, ensuring durability, low cost, and portability. It is intended for measuring the amount of formaldehyde in fresh seafood.

Objective

เทคนิคในการตรวจวัดความเข้มข้นฟอร์มาลดีไฮด์ในอาหารทะเลสด เช่น UV-Vis Spectrophotometry เป็นเทคนิคที่ใช้วัดค่าการดูดกลืนแสงของสารและใช้ในการวิเคราะห์ความเข้มข้นของสารในสารละลาย ข้อจำกัดของเทคนิคนี้คือราคาแพง และไม่สะดวกในการใช้งานภาคสนาม จึงมีการพัตนาและสร้างสเปกโตรโฟโตมิเตอร์แบบพิมพ์ 3 มิติ เพื่อตรวจวัดความเข้มข้นฟอร์มาลดีไฮด์ในอาหารทะเลสด ซึ่งมีความสำคัญในการลดต้นทุน พกพาสะดวก และใช้งานง่ายในภาคสนาม

Bacteriocinogenomic analysis and anti-pathogenic activity of potential Lactococcus lactis TKP1-5 isolated from the feces of Anas platyrhynchos

Bacteriocins are microbial peptides that demonstrate potency against pathogens. This study evaluated the inhibitory effects on pathogens and characterized the bacteriogenomic profile of strain TKP1-5, isolated from the feces of Anas platyrhynchos domesticus. Strain TKP1-5 was characterized using phenotypic traits, 16S rRNA sequencing, and Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS). It exhibited growth in the presence of 2-6% NaCl, temperatures of 25-45°C, and pH levels ranging from 3 to 9. Based on ANIb, ANIm, and dDDH values, strain TKP1-5 was identified as Lactococcus lactis. Whole genome analysis revealed that strain TKP1-5 harbors the Nisin Z peptide gene cluster with a bit-score of 114.775. The antimicrobial spectrum of bacteriocin TKP1-5 showed inhibitory effects against pathogenic bacteria including Pediococcus pentosaceus JCM5885, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115, Enterococcus faecalis JCM 5803T, Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 13311ᵀ, Aeromonas hydrophila B1 AhB1, Streptococcus agalactiae 1611 and Streptococcus cowan I. Genomic analysis confirmed L. lactis TKP1-5 as a non-human pathogen without antibiotic resistance genes or plasmids. Furthermore, L. lactis TKP1-5 contains potential genes associated with various probiotic properties and health benefits. This suggests that L. lactis TKP1-5, with its antibacterial activity and probiotic potential, could be a promising candidate for further research and application in the food industry.

Enhancing the efficiency of in-ear monitors for hearing-impaired musicians

Some musicians are hearing impaired, some have finished their careers, but some continue to work, and it is much harder for them to be deaf than for musicians who are not. Some use hearing aids in their daily lives and use in-ear monitors in their live performances, which seem normal, but in their in-ears they only hear the metronome and drums. How can we improve the performance of in-ear monitors to near normal?

Golden Banana Fries

Abstract: Banana French Fries This project aimed to study and develop the product Banana French Fries, which is a snack made by frying bananas in a form similar to French fries, in order to add value to bananas and create new choices for consumers. The experiment consisted of selecting suitable banana varieties, developing a coating formula, and testing the taste of samples. The results of the study found that Nam Wa bananas are the most suitable for making banana French fries because they have a firm texture and naturally sweet taste. The best coating formula consists of wheat flour, eggs, and milk, which provide longer crispiness. The taste test found that most consumers gave a very good response and were satisfied with the taste and texture. This project shows that banana French fries are a product with potential to be developed as a healthy snack and can be further developed into a commercial product in the future.
