Efficacy of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) peel hot water extract against Aeromonas hydrophila infection of seabass fingerling (Lates calcarifer)

Abstract

Mangosteen peel (Garcinia mangostana Linn.) extract using hot water (MPE) has been shown to have antibacterial potential in freshwater sea bass (Lates calcarifer) larvae infected with Aeromonas hydrophila. In vitro studies showed that MPE has a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 25 ppm and a minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of 25 ppm. In vivo, sea bass larvae were immersed in various concentrations of MPE at 0 ppm (control), 20 ppm, 40 ppm and 60 ppm, respectively, for 7 days with A. hydrophila. The results showed that the MPE-treated group had a higher survival rate compared to the control group. Hematological parameters showed that the MPE-treated group had significantly increased red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC) and hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations compared to the control group. In addition, the water quality parameters were not significantly different, except for ammonia concentration, with MPE having an ammonia concentration of 60 ppm being the lowest. All results can indicate that MPE can improve the antibacterial potential and the culture potential of sea bass larvae.

Objective

ปลากะพงขาว (Lates calcarifer) เป็นปลาที่ได้รับความนิยมมากที่สุดในอุตสาหกรรมการเพาะเลี้ยงสัตว์น้ำของไทย โดยเลี้ยงในน้ำจืดและน้ำกร่อย คิดเป็น 95.97% ของพื้นที่เพาะเลี้ยงปลาทะเลทั้งหมด ความสามารถในการปรับตัวและความง่ายในการเลี้ยงในน้ำจืดทำให้ตอบสนองความต้องการได้สูง แต่ยังประสบปัญหาโรคที่เกิดจากแบคทีเรีย เช่น Aeromonas hydrophila ซึ่งก่อให้เกิดโรคร้ายแรงและต้องการวิธีป้องกันที่เป็นมิตรต่อสิ่งแวดล้อม เปลือกมังคุด (Garcinia mangostana Linn.) ที่อุดมไปด้วยสารออกฤทธิ์ทางชีวภาพ แสดงคุณสมบัติต้านแบคทีเรียและเสริมภูมิคุ้มกันในสัตว์น้ำ จากการศึกษาพบว่าเปลือกมังคุดมีประสิทธิภาพในการต้านเชื้อโรคในปลา เช่น Vibrio harveyii และ A. hydrophila ซึ่งเป็นทางเลือกที่ยั่งยืนในการจัดการโรคในฟาร์มปลากะพงขาว

THE DEVELOPMENT OF DENDROCALAMUS ASPER BLENDED FIBER FOR ECO-FRIENDLY TEXTILE PRODUCT DESIGN

This research confirms the potential of bamboo fiber as a sustainable raw material for the textile industry, demonstrating exceptional properties that meet both functional requirements and environmental friendliness. The study focuses on integrating sustainability concepts with material innovation, encompassing fiber property analysis, production process development, and product design. The research objectives were to: 1) develop the properties of bamboo fiber for production; 2) study factors in designing environmentally friendly textile products from bamboo fiber; and 3) forecast future prospects for environmentally friendly textile product design using bamboo fiber. The findings revealed that 60-day-old bamboo possessed optimal properties for fiber separation, with an average fiber size of 5.32 μm, smaller than other natural fibers, resulting in superior moisture absorption and ventilation properties. When blended with recycled polyester fiber in a 30:70 ratio, the yarn exhibited strength and unique tactile characteristics. Although the antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus were low, the fibers demonstrated excellent whiteness and softness. Factor analysis identified four key components in product design: Local Materials, Green Products, Healthy, and Sustainability. Consumer satisfaction evaluation of the prototype products showed high levels of acceptance, with the model explaining 84.7% of consumer satisfaction. The developed production process reduced chemical usage and hazardous waste. Furthermore, utilizing fast-growing bamboo minimized long-term environmental impact, contributing to sustainable development in Thailand's rural communities across economic, environmental, and occupational stability dimensions. The research demonstrates that developing bamboo fiber blended with recycled polyester creates sustainable products that meet consumer demands for health consciousness, local material utilization, and green product promotion. Commercial implementation of these products can enhance economic value and promote environmentally friendly product development in the future.
