Zero-waste management is crucial for sustainable food systems, promoting the use of agricultural by-products like rice bran. Rich in bioactive polyphenols with antioxidant and antidiabetic properties, rice bran can enhance the nutritional value of food. Polyphenols can slow starch digestion by forming complexes with starch, making them useful for creating low-glycemic foods. While ultrasonication and freeze-thaw treatments have been beneficial individually, their combined effects on starch-polyphenol complexation remain understudied. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of combining these treatments on the interaction between rice starch and red rice bran polyphenols. The dual treatment increased the complexing index, altered functional properties, and affected granule morphology. Structural analysis indicated non-covalent interactions forming non-V-type complexes. Additionally, starch digestibility was reduced, lowering the estimated glycemic index (eGI) compared to the control. These findings suggest a sustainable and green approach to starch modification, with potential for developing functional food products and advancing zero-waste processing.
The growing emphasis on zero-waste management and sustainable food systems has highlighted rice bran as a valuable yet underutilized by-product rich in bioactive polyphenols with antidiabetic properties. Meanwhile, modifying starch to reduce its glycemic response is crucial for diabetes management. Green processing techniques, such as ultrasonication and freeze-thaw treatment, offer a sustainable way to enhance starch-polyphenol complexation, slowing starch digestion naturally. This study explores the synergistic effects of these methods on rice starch-polyphenol complexes from red rice bran, evaluating their structural, functional, and digestibility properties. The findings demonstrate that dual-treated complexes lower starch digestibility and glycemic index (eGI), making them promise for functional food development. Additionally, this research supports sustainable food processing while contributing to healthier, low-glycemic food alternatives

This research aims to evaluate the efficiency of nano-type oxygen diffusers at different pump power levels in sea bass nursery ponds. The study examines how varying power levels affect dissolved oxygen distribution in the water and their impact on the health, growth, and survival rates of sea bass. The findings indicate that pump power levels influence dissolved oxygen concentration, with the optimal power level improving oxygen distribution in the pond. This enhancement leads to higher survival and growth rates for sea bass. The results provide valuable insights for selecting appropriate oxygen diffusers and pump power levels in fish nursery pond systems. The experiment consisted of two conditions: 1. Without fish – This condition assessed the oxygenation capacity, oxygen transfer coefficient, oxygen transfer rate, and oxygen transfer efficiency of pumps at three different power levels. 2. With fish – This condition evaluated whether the oxygen supplied by pumps at three power levels was sufficient, based on the growth rate and survival rate of the fish in the pond. Blood counts were conducted to assess the immune response. The collected data were statistically analyzed using the RCBD method for the condition without fish and the CRD method for the condition with fish, employing SPSS software.

This project aims to design and develop a propulsion system for agricultural equipment using RFID technology and evaluate its movement performance on different surfaces, including concrete and grass. The experiment focuses on examining the tag detection range under transmission power levels of 20 dBm, 23 dBm, and 26 dBm, as well as the impact of antenna angles on detection efficiency. Additionally, the system was tested in three movement scenarios: straight path, left turn, and right turn, at distances of 2 meters, 4 meters, and 6 meters. The results indicate that the system achieved the highest average speed of 0.4736 m/s and an average turning angle of 91.6° when moving in a straight path on a concrete surface at a distance of 4 meters. On a grass surface at the same distance, the average speed was 0.4483 m/s, with an average turning angle of 91.1°. For left and right turns, the movement on the concrete surface generally exhibited a higher average speed than on grass, particularly at a distance of 4 meters, where differences in turning angles were observed. This study provides insights into the factors affecting the movement of agricultural mowing equipment and serves as a foundation for enhancing the efficiency of propulsion systems in future developments.
