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)

Dream High Packaging Protection from Mycelium

In a world increasingly focused on sustainability and reducing environmental impact, DreamHigh is pioneering an innovative approach to packaging solutions using mycelium—a natural, biodegradable, and renewable material derived from fungi. Our mission is to revolutionize the packaging industry by offering eco-friendly alternatives that not only reduce waste but also align with global efforts to combat climate change. Mycelium packaging offers a compelling alternative to traditional plastic and Styrofoam packaging, which contribute significantly to environmental pollution. It is fully biodegradable, compostable, and capable of breaking down in natural environments within weeks, leaving no toxic residues behind. Additionally, mycelium-based products are lightweight, durable, and customizable, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, from consumer goods packaging to protective shipping materials. DreamHigh’s business plan outlines a scalable production process leveraging advanced mycelium cultivation techniques and partnerships with local agricultural sectors to utilize agricultural waste as a key raw material. This not only ensures cost-efficiency but also supports a circular economy by repurposing waste that would otherwise be discarded.

Comparison of the efficiency of nano-type oxygen concentrators with bundle size different pump crates in sea bass nursery ponds

This research aims to evaluate the efficiency of nano-type oxygen diffusers at different pump power levels in sea bass nursery ponds. The study examines how varying power levels affect dissolved oxygen distribution in the water and their impact on the health, growth, and survival rates of sea bass. The findings indicate that pump power levels influence dissolved oxygen concentration, with the optimal power level improving oxygen distribution in the pond. This enhancement leads to higher survival and growth rates for sea bass. The results provide valuable insights for selecting appropriate oxygen diffusers and pump power levels in fish nursery pond systems. The experiment consisted of two conditions: 1. Without fish – This condition assessed the oxygenation capacity, oxygen transfer coefficient, oxygen transfer rate, and oxygen transfer efficiency of pumps at three different power levels. 2. With fish – This condition evaluated whether the oxygen supplied by pumps at three power levels was sufficient, based on the growth rate and survival rate of the fish in the pond. Blood counts were conducted to assess the immune response. The collected data were statistically analyzed using the RCBD method for the condition without fish and the CRD method for the condition with fish, employing SPSS software.
