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)

The Ginbanirose project aims to develop herbal extracts for alleviating menstrual pain using key ingredients: roselle, banana inflorescence, and ginger. These ingredients contain bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and pain-relieving properties. The extracts are enhanced through liposome encapsulation technology, which improves absorption and stability. The production process involves herbal extraction, freeze-drying, and liposome formulation using lecithin and stabilizers. Experimental results demonstrate high phenolic content and antioxidant activity via the DPPH method. Ginbanirose addresses women’s quality of life concerns while offering significant business opportunities in the rapidly growing herbal market, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.
