The consumption of plant-based products has been gaining popularity as consumers become more health-conscious and aware of environmental impacts. The food industry has been developing meat analogs with properties similar to conventional meat. This study investigates the chemical and physical properties of chickpea-based meat analog burgers and hybrid burgers containing both chickpeas and pork, using the sous-vide cooking method. This technique helps maintain food quality in terms of texture, moisture retention, and nutritional value. The experiment examined various properties of both types of burgers, including cooking loss, water holding capacity, shear force, pH value, and color analysis. Additionally, sensory evaluation was conducted to assess taste, texture, and overall consumer preference. The findings will provide insights into the optimal sous-vide conditions for producing plant-based and hybrid burgers with desirable quality characteristics that meet the needs of health-conscious consumers. This study serves as a valuable guideline for the food industry in developing high-nutritional-value alternative protein products while reducing meat consumption. By incorporating plant-based ingredients, it helps minimize environmental impact and promotes sustainability in food production. The research is significant in both food science and the development of healthier, competitive food products for the future market.

In today’s rapidly expanding e-commerce environment, the massive volume of product reviews makes it crucial to summarize user opinions in a way that is both comprehensible and practically applicable. This research presents a system for analyzing product reviews using Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA), a Natural Language Processing (NLP) technique that identifies key aspects of a review (such as shipping, product quality, and packaging) and evaluates the sentiment (positive, negative, or neutral) associated with each aspect, allowing both consumers and merchants to gain more efficient access to in-depth insights. This project focuses on developing AI for Thai-language ABSA by utilizing WangchanBERTa, a model trained on Thai data, and comparing it with various standard approaches such as TF-IDF + Logistic Regression, Word2Vec + BiLSTM, and Multilingual BERT (mBERT/XLM-R) to assess their performance in terms of accuracy, speed, and resource usage. Additionally, a dashboard visualization is provided to help users quickly grasp review trends. The expected outcome is to create an AI tool that can be practically employed in the e-commerce industry, enabling consumers to make easier purchasing decisions and assisting merchants in effectively improving their products and services.

The growing interest in antioxidant-rich foods is driven by their potential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular conditions, and cellular degeneration. Ginger (Zingiber officinale), banana inflorescence (Musa paradisiaca L.), and roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) are herbal plants known for their high phenolic content, a crucial component in antioxidant activity. However, the bioactive compounds in these plants are often unstable when exposed to light, temperature, and oxygen, leading to a reduction in their efficacy. This study aims to investigate the optimal ratio of ginger, banana inflorescence, and roselle for encapsulation in liposomes—a technique designed to enhance the stability of bioactive compounds and improve their delivery efficacy. The research evaluates the antioxidant activity of the extracts using DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP methods, alongside total phenolic content (TPC) measurement. The most effective ratio for antioxidant activity will be selected for liposomal encapsulation, employing phospholipids as key structural components. The encapsulation efficiency (EE%) will be calculated to assess the effectiveness of the liposomal delivery system. The findings are expected to identify the optimal combination of ginger, banana inflorescence, and roselle that maximizes antioxidant potency and enhances the stability of bioactive compounds through liposomal encapsulation. This approach offers a promising strategy for developing herbal health supplements that maintain their biological properties over time.
