Designed Quality coffee from fermentation

Designed Quality coffee from fermentation

Abstract

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)

burden - Take me to dream

On the path of life since we were born, we have encountered many things in life, differences and various characteristics. However, each factor of each person's life has different responsibilities, dreams, and life context differences. Everyone still has to struggle against obstacles and many burdens in life, shouldering the responsibilities of themselves and their families in order to survive. Living in different ways, with many burdens and dreams, but in real life, how many people can shoulder these burdens to reach their dreams?

Agricultural equipment propulsion system using RFID technology

This project aims to design and develop a propulsion system for agricultural equipment using RFID technology and evaluate its movement performance on different surfaces, including concrete and grass. The experiment focuses on examining the tag detection range under transmission power levels of 20 dBm, 23 dBm, and 26 dBm, as well as the impact of antenna angles on detection efficiency. Additionally, the system was tested in three movement scenarios: straight path, left turn, and right turn, at distances of 2 meters, 4 meters, and 6 meters. The results indicate that the system achieved the highest average speed of 0.4736 m/s and an average turning angle of 91.6° when moving in a straight path on a concrete surface at a distance of 4 meters. On a grass surface at the same distance, the average speed was 0.4483 m/s, with an average turning angle of 91.1°. For left and right turns, the movement on the concrete surface generally exhibited a higher average speed than on grass, particularly at a distance of 4 meters, where differences in turning angles were observed. This study provides insights into the factors affecting the movement of agricultural mowing equipment and serves as a foundation for enhancing the efficiency of propulsion systems in future developments.

Chillhouse with ChillGuys

This project aims to study the load transfer in timber building structures by analyzing weight distribution across key structural components such as beams, columns, and floors, as well as the load-bearing behavior of wood under different conditions. The research incorporates structural calculations and modeling to examine load transfer patterns. Additionally, it enhances skills in design, analysis, and teamwork, providing practical knowledge applicable to real-world construction projects.
