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)

“Equinest” Thai Fruit-Flavored Horse Treats to Enhance Equine Digestive Efficiency.

This research aims to develop a horse treat product that meets the nutritional and health needs of horses by using natural ingredients with beneficial properties, such as oats, wheat flour, corn flour, and organic molasses. These ingredients are rich in fiber, vitamins, and essential minerals for horses, while also enhancing digestive efficiency, reducing the risk of colic, and providing an appropriate energy source. The treat is designed with a shape suitable for a horse’s chewing behavior and is infused with Thai fruit flavors, such as pineapple and ripe mango, to attract horses and make consumption easier. The production process emphasizes cleanliness and safety by selecting organic ingredients and avoiding harmful preservatives. The packaging is designed to maintain product quality for an extended period, prevent moisture, and be convenient for horse owners to use. Additionally, the treat can be used as a reward during horse training, helping to strengthen the bond between the horse and its owner while reducing equine stress. This product serves as both a health-boosting snack and an effective training tool, making it suitable for horses that require highly nutritious supplements. It also provides a new option for horse owners seeking a safe and beneficial product for their horse’s overall well-being.

Mitsubishi Motors (Thailand) Co.,Ltd. This company has a zero-risk, zero-accident safety policy, and it has maintained records of all accidents that happened inside the factory in 2024.There have been 5 accidents to date, one of them was an accident that happened on the production line while the Production Engineer Assembly Department had control of it. I got this issue to be resolved as a result. by identifying issues, classifying them, and choosing solutions to address them. D using CCTV and AI cameras to identify behavior to prevent risky events from occurring by training AI with images or Equipment malfunctions, including pallets,X-Lifters, and conveyor Including designing the Concept Improvement of the software so that CCTV+AI Camera can detect it. Outcome following installation That area was accident-free after that. Avoid accidents Cut down on the losses that will happen Whether it be the costs incurred because of the accident Training new hires Resources for work or a variety of other purposes.

Rotten Fruit Classification for Industrial

The development of a fruit spoilage detection system originates from the need to reduce agricultural product losses, a global issue affecting both the agricultural and food distribution industries. Spoiled fruit can negatively impact product quality and result in significant economic losses. The primary goal of this system is to assist in screening and removing unsuitable fruit from the supply chain, thereby preserving product quality and meeting consumer demands for fresh produce. The system was designed to simulate the sorting process by utilizing images as a key factor in detecting spoiled fruit. Experimental results demonstrated high efficiency and rapid prediction capabilities, highlighting the system’s potential for practical applications.
