Crispy Rice-berry Snack is a product made from broken rice-berry rice that has been processed into a snack that is thin and crispy, bite-sized. Broken rice-berry rice is cooked, finely ground, and mixed with other ingredients to increase its nutritional value, such as adding plant seeds, adding plant protein nutrients, and then forming it into sheets using heat. The resulting product is a thin sheet, purple-brown in color, crispy, and has the smell of the ingredients used in the production process. It does not contain sugar or sweeteners. It is used as a snack with tea or coffee. Crispy Rice-berry Waffle is a product that contains complete nutrients, including carbohydrates, protein, and fat, which are derived from the ingredients in the production formula.

Mangosteen peel (Garcinia mangostana Linn.) extract using hot water (MPE) has been shown to have antibacterial potential in freshwater sea bass (Lates calcarifer) larvae infected with Aeromonas hydrophila. In vitro studies showed that MPE has a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 25 ppm and a minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of 25 ppm. In vivo, sea bass larvae were immersed in various concentrations of MPE at 0 ppm (control), 20 ppm, 40 ppm and 60 ppm, respectively, for 7 days with A. hydrophila. The results showed that the MPE-treated group had a higher survival rate compared to the control group. Hematological parameters showed that the MPE-treated group had significantly increased red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC) and hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations compared to the control group. In addition, the water quality parameters were not significantly different, except for ammonia concentration, with MPE having an ammonia concentration of 60 ppm being the lowest. All results can indicate that MPE can improve the antibacterial potential and the culture potential of sea bass larvae.

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of extracts from moringa seeds, roselle seeds, and tamarind seeds as coagulants to improve water quality in surface water sources. Extracts from these seeds serve as environmentally friendly coagulants and provide alternative options for enhancing surface water quality. The turbidity of surface water sources ranged between 14 and 24 NTU. The coagulation process used the Jar Test method, where the moringa seed, roselle seed, and tamarind seed extracts functioned as both primary coagulants and coagulant aids. In the preparation process, the seeds were finely ground and extracted using a 0.5-M sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. These extracts were then applied as coagulants to reduce turbidity and enhance water quality, with each concentration tested in 300 ml of water. The results indicated that the most effective way to remove turbidity using 2,000 mg/L of moringa seed extract, achieving a turbidity reduction of approximately 73.19% at a cost of 0.0309 baht per 300 ml of water. Followed by Tamarind seed extract, with a concentration of 4,000 mg/L, followed with a turbidity reduction of approximately 56.75% at a cost of 0.0933 baht per 300 ml. Lastly, roselle seed extract at 6,000 mg/L achieved a turbidity reduction of approximately 32.67% at a cost of 0.0567 baht per 300 ml of water.

The evaluation of mango yield and consumer behavior reflects an increasing awareness of product origins, with a growing demand for traceability to understand how the produce has been cultivated and managed. This study explores the relationship between mango characteristics and cultivation practices before harvest, using location identification to provide insights into these processes. To achieve this, a model was developed to detect and locate mangoes using 2D images via a Deep Learning approach. The study also investigates techniques to determine the real-world coordinates of mangoes from 2D images. The YOLOv8 model was employed for object detection, integrated with camera calibration and triangulation techniques to estimate the 3D positions of detected mangoes. Experiments involved 125 trials with randomized mango positions and camera placements at varying yaw and pitch angles. Parameters extracted from sequential images were compared to derive the actual 3D positions of the mangoes. The YOLOv8 model demonstrated high performance with prediction metrics of Precision (0.928), Recall (0.901), mAP50 (0.965), mAP50-95 (0.785), and F1-Score (0.914). These results indicate sufficient accuracy for predicting mango positions, with an average positional error of approximately 38 centimeters.
