Efficient durian orchard development requires integrating knowledge, technology, and innovation from farmers and academics to cope with environmental changes and market demands. The Durian Web-based Learning Hub is an online learning platform developed to serve as a central hub for knowledge transfer from experts and as a space for experience exchange among farmers. Users can access learning resources conveniently and continuously. This platform is part of the Innovation Project for Production and Marketing Information Management Innovation for Enhancing the Quality of Durian Production Entering into Premium Markets, supported by the Program Management Unit for Area-Based Development (PMUA)

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.

Artificial intelligence for agriculture and environment is a collection of significant models for enviromental friendly Thailand development. The models create with machine learning and deep learning by Near infrared spectroscopy research center for agricultural and food products, including: Determining the nutrient needs (N P K) of durian trees by measuring durian leaves using a non-destructive technique using artificial intelligence, Identification of combustion properties of biomass from fast-growing trees and agricultural residues using non-destructive techniques combined with artificial intelligence, and Evaluation of global warming due to biomass combustion using non-destructive techniques using artificial intelligence. The basic technology used is Near infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy technology which measurement and output display can be done quickly without chemical, no requirement for special expert, and measurement price per sample is very low. But the instrument cannot be produced in Thailand.

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.
