Coffee is a critical agricultural commodity to be used to produce a premium beverage to serve people worldwide. Coffee microbiome turned to be an essential tool to improve the bean quality through the natural fermentation. Therefore, understanding the microbial diversities could create the final product's better quality. This study investigated the natural microbial consortium during the wet process fermentation of coffee onsite in Thailand to characterize the microorganisms involved in correlation toward the biochemical characteristics and metabolic attributes. Roasting is another important step in developing the complex flavor/ aroma that make coffee to be enjoyable. During the roasting process, the beans undergo many complex and alternatively change in the physicochemical properties from the gained substances in the fermentation process. The changing in the formation of the substances responsible for the sensory qualities, physicochemical/ aroma attributes as well as the health benefits of the final product. Using the starter culture could also develop the distinguished characteristics of coffee (Research collaboration with Van Hart company)

This thesis project was conducted to identify the optimal conditions for producing concentrated butterfly pea juice using vacuum evaporation to preserve key compounds in butterfly pea flowers, such as anthocyanins—natural pigments with high antioxidant properties. The study applies a Box-Behnken Design, a statistical method that facilitates analysis of multiple factors. The research focuses on the ratio of dried butterfly pea flowers to water, extraction temperature, and evaporation temperature, each of which has a direct effect on the preservation of key compounds, color, aroma, and flavor. The results indicate that using a dried flower-to-water ratio of 1:15, an extraction temperature of 60°C, and an evaporation temperature of 40°C under low pressure can minimize the loss of essential compounds and best retain the properties of the concentrated butterfly pea juice. Findings from this research provide a foundation for developing an industrial production process for concentrated butterfly pea juice and enhance the potential for creating new products from butterfly pea flowers.

This project is a carbon safe haven of Bangkok, aspiring to be the prototypal gateway of the future's carbon net zero ambitions. The project aims to answer the fundamental "flaw" of the existing urban fabric, still being extremely inefficient and highly polluting. Conversely, Carbon Oasis would not only create its own energy, but look to provide its excess energy and water surplus' back to the city and its surroundings. Taking parts of the existing city and implementing new concepts to inspire a change in the urban fabric and its people.
