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)

Penetration Testing Learning Platform (SecurionSphere)

SecurionSphere is the penetration testing learning platform that focuses on web application exploitation. This platform is intended to address concerns seen in existing penetration testing platforms, such as resource sharing that may affect other users and the constant environment configuration the permits the same response leading to copy the answer from others. Supervisors can use templates to address various forms of web application vulnerability threats. Users can generate the instance of supervisor's templates machine. The platform also randomly generates the environment configuration for each machine has the difference environment and the answer. This allows the users get more realistic learning experiences without affecting the resources of others.

The use of Houttuynia cordata Thunb and Piper retrofractum Vahl extracts to inhibit opportunistic infections in patient with atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis patients are the second largest number among skin disease patients. There is no cure for atopic dermatitis, and it can only be treated to relieve symptoms, causing chronic disease. There is a chance that opportunistic infections will enter and cause more disease from the patient's wound, causing the patient to have complications from other infections. This study is interested in studying the reduction of the chance of opportunistic infections in patients with atopic dermatitis using natural extracts. The interest is in Plu Kaow and long pepper because there is data supporting the inhibition of microorganisms. The leaves of both plants are crudely extracted, soaked in 95% ethanol for 7 days, filtered with a Buchner filter, and the extracts are tested for phytochemicals to analyze phenolic components, flavonoids, tannins, anthocyanin, DPPH, and tested for antimicrobial properties. The experiments consisted of 5 types of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria: E. coli, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The researcher expects that this can be further developed and used to treat patients with atopic dermatitis.
