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)

Data Centralization for Manufacturing : Development of a web application for request tools

The objective is to develop a web application for tool requests to issues arising from using Excel programs. The initial Excel file is copied from an existing SQL database and repeatedly duplicated, leading to excessive storage consumption. Additionally, the Excel files cannot be accessed concurrently by multiple users. Therefore, this web application aims to connect directly to the SQL database, eliminating the problems caused by using Excel files.

Selection of landrace rice varieties resistant to saline soil

Rice is a salt-sensitive crop. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of salinity at flowering stage on physiological traits and yield of landrace rice. The experiment design was 4*10 Factorial in RCBD with 4 replications. Factor A was four salinity levels: control, 6, 12 and 16 dS/m; Factor B was 10 rice varieties. Data were collected on physiological traits and grain yield. The results showed that increasing salinity level decreased rice yield. The highest yield reduction was found when the rice received salt stress at 16 dS/m. In addition, rice varieties showed different yield performance when exposed to salt stress. In this found that Hom Yai variety had the lowest yield reduction when grown at 16 dS/m salinity level and did not differ from salt tolerant check variety.
