Development of tea from longan peels and seeds

Development of tea from longan peels and seeds

Abstract

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.

Objective

จากการได้เข้าไปศึกษาดูงานที่ ชุมชนเกษตรกรผู้ปลูกลำไย อำเภอวังน้ำเย็น จังหวัดสระแก้ว ได้พบปัญหาคือราคาลำไยตกต่ำ ขายแล้วขาดทุน ส่งผลให้เกษตรกรได้แก้ปัญหา ด้วยการนำลำไยไปทำลำไยอบแห้ง ซึ่งจากกระบวนการผลิตลำไยอบแห้ง จะมีผลิตภัณฑ์ผลพลอยได้คือเปลือกและเมล็ดลำไย ซึ่งสามารถนำมาแปรรูปเป็นชาผงสำเร็จรูปพร้อมดื่มได้

Biodiversity of soil microorganisms

Soil is home to a diverse array of living organisms that interact within a complex food web, facilitating energy and nutrient cycling essential for sustaining life above ground. Among these organisms, soil microbes play a crucial role in supporting plant growth. Beneficial microorganisms enhance nutrient availability, improve soil structure by increasing porosity, and strengthen plant resistance to diseases. Conversely, harmful microorganisms, such as plant pathogens, can hinder plant growth and reduce crop yields when present in high concentrations. Neutral microorganisms, which naturally inhabit the soil, contribute to the soil ecosystem without directly impacting plants. A single teaspoon of soil contains over a billion microorganisms, yet only about 1% of them can be cultured in laboratory conditions. This highlights soil as one of the richest reservoirs of microbial diversity on Earth.
