This research aimed to develop the mixed tea from longan peels and seeds. Population studied were longan farmers who planted longan and preserved the longan product in Ampur Wang Nam Yen, Sa Kaeo Province. From the results, it was found that from By-product in the production of dehydrated longan, longan peels and seeds, which can be processed into ready-to-drink powdered tea. This not only helps reduce waste from the production process but also contributes to generating additional income from these by-products.

The growing interest in antioxidant-rich foods is driven by their potential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular conditions, and cellular degeneration. Ginger (Zingiber officinale), banana inflorescence (Musa paradisiaca L.), and roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) are herbal plants known for their high phenolic content, a crucial component in antioxidant activity. However, the bioactive compounds in these plants are often unstable when exposed to light, temperature, and oxygen, leading to a reduction in their efficacy. This study aims to investigate the optimal ratio of ginger, banana inflorescence, and roselle for encapsulation in liposomes—a technique designed to enhance the stability of bioactive compounds and improve their delivery efficacy. The research evaluates the antioxidant activity of the extracts using DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP methods, alongside total phenolic content (TPC) measurement. The most effective ratio for antioxidant activity will be selected for liposomal encapsulation, employing phospholipids as key structural components. The encapsulation efficiency (EE%) will be calculated to assess the effectiveness of the liposomal delivery system. The findings are expected to identify the optimal combination of ginger, banana inflorescence, and roselle that maximizes antioxidant potency and enhances the stability of bioactive compounds through liposomal encapsulation. This approach offers a promising strategy for developing herbal health supplements that maintain their biological properties over time.

Air pollution, particularly PM2.5, is a major environmental and public health concern in Bangkok. Instead of predicting PM2.5 levels, this project aims to identify the most significant factors influencing PM2.5 concentration. By analyzing historical air quality, weather, and other environmental data, we will determine which variables—such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, or other pollutants—have the greatest impact on PM2.5 fluctuations.
