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)

New chili varieties resistant to anthracnose and Pepper yellow leaf curl diseases and high pungency

The research aims to develop chili Thai commercial varieties for resistance to anthracnose and Pepper yellow leaf curl virus disease. The varieties allowing farmer to reduce the use of chemical pesticides for disease and pest control, also increases productivity and lowers production costs for farmers. The development new varieties are under studied of undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students by using conventional and molecular plant breeding. The new chili varieties were released to farmer and commercial companies for development for Thai commercial seed industry.

Offline Evaluation System for Large Language Models in Designing Thai Expert Systems

The offline evaluation system for Thai-language large language models (LLMs) is designed to enable experts to efficiently test and assess various LLMs without relying on external services. This enhances the flexibility in selecting LLMs that best suit organizational needs or expert systems (ES). The system operates on personal computers, ensuring data security by eliminating concerns about external data storage. Additionally, it supports model testing and development using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), allowing access to domain-specific knowledge for accurate, energy-efficient processing. This ensures that the models can perform optimally and effectively meet the demands of organizations and expert systems.
