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)

Testing of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) based on IEC 61851-1 Annex A

This project focuses on developing a test device for an AC charger for electric vehicles according to the IEC 61851-1 Annex A standard by simulating the test circuit inside an electric vehicle according to the standard to test the operation of the AC charger. The test topic is related to the communication between the electric vehicle and the charger via a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control circuit system and creating an operation manual (WI) to prepare for testing in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 standards, which are general requirements for laboratory capabilities in conducting tests and/or calibrations. The overall picture of this project is to develop test equipment and create an operation manual by collecting knowledge and various devices and then comparing the data to meet the abovementioned standards to test the Type II AC charger in each state. The test equipment consists of a communication part between the test equipment and the AC charger using a PLC S7-1200 and an HMI to control the operation of the switches in the test equipment circuit, including controlling parameters and displaying results. The equipment used to measure values ​​is an oscilloscope and a multimeter that have undergone a calibration process to comply with the specified standards.
