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 project focuses on developing a work tracking system for team members. Python is used to extract data from Excel files and import it into a SQL Server database for systematic data management. The system includes a function to notify task status via LINE and displays reports via Power BI, allowing supervisors to track progress and evaluate team members' performance efficiently. Additionally, the system helps promote work and time management skills for team members.

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 research aims to develop a horse treat product that meets the nutritional and health needs of horses by using natural ingredients with beneficial properties, such as oats, wheat flour, corn flour, and organic molasses. These ingredients are rich in fiber, vitamins, and essential minerals for horses, while also enhancing digestive efficiency, reducing the risk of colic, and providing an appropriate energy source. The treat is designed with a shape suitable for a horse’s chewing behavior and is infused with Thai fruit flavors, such as pineapple and ripe mango, to attract horses and make consumption easier. The production process emphasizes cleanliness and safety by selecting organic ingredients and avoiding harmful preservatives. The packaging is designed to maintain product quality for an extended period, prevent moisture, and be convenient for horse owners to use. Additionally, the treat can be used as a reward during horse training, helping to strengthen the bond between the horse and its owner while reducing equine stress. This product serves as both a health-boosting snack and an effective training tool, making it suitable for horses that require highly nutritious supplements. It also provides a new option for horse owners seeking a safe and beneficial product for their horse’s overall well-being.
