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 research investigates active packaging films made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and nanocellulose fibers (NFC), incorporating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized from Terminalia chebula extract, which possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties. The developed films were tested for their mechanical properties, microbial inhibition, and biodegradability. The results showed that the addition of AgNPs from Terminalia chebula enhanced product protection and effectively extended the shelf life of strawberries while being environmentally friendly.

This thesis aims to present the development of a metaverse project for the KMITL Lifelong Learning Center (KLLC) and KMITL Data Management Center (KDMC) for Public Relations at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, with the main goal of creating a metaverse prototype to promote learning and public relations through virtual reality technology for students, staff, and external individuals. In this project, the developers have created a metaverse system to simulate a virtual experience for users at the KMITL Lifelong Learning Center (KLLC) and KMITL Data Management Center (KDMC) for Public Relations at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang. Users will be able to access the system through a web application developed with Unity, which is the tool used to create the metaverse system. The design allows users to visit and interact with various locations within the building to promote public relations in a more widespread virtual format. The developers used Maya and Unity software to create a metaverse system for modeling 3D objects and managing various functions, providing users with a realistic and novel experience. This project is expected to promote learning and the dissemination of information in an easily accessible modern format, creating opportunities for education and learning for those who cannot travel to see the actual locations. This makes metaverse technology an important tool for effectively developing learning and engagement in the digital age.
