Enchancing stability of cooking oils using ultrasound-assisted infusion with Thai herbs

Abstract

The reuse of cooking oil in food preparation leads to oil degradation and the formation of harmful compounds due to oxidation. This study focuses on enhancing the stability of used palm oil through ultrasound-assisted infusion with three varieties of banana blossoms: Kluai Khai, Kluai Hom, and Kluai Nam Wa, which are rich in phenolic compounds and antioxidants. The research investigates the restoration of used palm oil by infusing dried and powdered banana blossoms using ultrasonic treatment at different temperatures and durations. The quality of the infused oil was evaluated through physical (water activity, moisture content, and color), chemical (peroxide value, acid value, and Thio barbituric acid reactive substances), and antioxidant activity (DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP) analyses.

Objective

ประเทศไทยมีการใช้น้ำมันพืชเฉลี่ยปีละ 800,000 ตัน ซึ่งการบริโภคอาหารทอดที่เพิ่มขึ้นนำไปสู่ปัญหาน้ำมันใช้แล้วที่เสื่อมสภาพและเกิดสารพิษ เช่น อนุมูลอิสระ อัลดีไฮด์ และไฮโดรเปอร์ออกไซด์ ซึ่งอาจก่อให้เกิดอันตรายต่อสุขภาพ วิธีการบำบัดน้ำมันที่ใช้แล้วในปัจจุบัน เช่น การกรองและการใช้สารดูดซับ เช่น ถ่านกัมมันต์ ยังมีข้อจำกัด ปลีกล้วยเป็นแหล่งของสารฟีนอลิก เช่น แทนนินและฟลาโวนอยด์ ซึ่งมีคุณสมบัติต้านอนุมูลอิสระและสามารถช่วยเพิ่มเสถียรภาพของน้ำมันโดยลดการเกิดออกซิเดชัน การศึกษานี้จึงมุ่งเน้นการใช้เทคโนโลยีคลื่นอัลตราโซนิคร่วมกับปลีกล้วยสายพันธุ์ต่างๆ เพื่อฟื้นฟูน้ำมันปรุงอาหารที่เสื่อมสภาพให้กลับมาใช้งานได้ ลดของเสีย และส่งเสริมการใช้ทรัพยากรอย่างยั่งยืน ซึ่งจะเป็นประโยชน์ต่อสุขภาพและสิ่งแวดล้อมในระยะยาว

THE DEVELOPMENT OF PACKAGING FOR KLUMKAPIKLONGDANCHUMCHON 3 COMMUNITYENTERPRISE KLONG DAN SUBDISTRICT BANG BO DISTRICT SAMUT PRAKANPROVINCE

This research aimed 1) to study the problems and needs in the packaging design of the community enterprise group 2) to develop packaging for the community enterprise group 3) to study the satisfaction with the packaging design of the members of the Klong Dan Shrimp Paste Community Enterprise Group 3 Klong Dan Subdistrict, Bang Bo District, Samut Prakan Province, consisting of 9 members The study found that the community enterprise group faced the problem of lacking suitable packaging for souvenirs and had a need to develop packaging that is appropriate for this purpose. The packaging material selected was paper, with a rectangular shape including a handle for portability It can be folded for easy transportation and stacked for storage, while maintaining durability The packaging color used was light brown, and the label color was white The label included the following details: shrimp paste recipe, ingredients, manufacturing and expiration dates, the background of the community enterprise group, a QR code, phone number, a short story, group name, production site, as well as illustrations of the group’s location and red krill. The results of developing packaging for the community enterprise group indicated that the new packaging design increased the credibility of the product, building customer confidence in the product. Regarding the satisfaction with the packaging design among the group members, it was found that Packaging Design 1 had the highest level of satisfaction (x ̅ = 4.57, S.D. = 0.22). Among the aspects, color received the highest satisfaction score (x ̅ = 4.74, S.D. = 0.06), followed by the label (x ̅ = 4.69, S.D. = 0.10), while the lowest was the properties aspect, which was rated at a moderate level of satisfaction (x ̅ = 3.83, S.D. = 1.58), respectively.

A Computer Assembly Training with VR Technology

Nowadays, assembling a computer is considered something close to many people. Everyone has a chance to catch it. which knowledge of various components of computers and skills in assembling computers. These 2 things mentioned above are things that the general public should have basic knowledge and understanding about. For the self-assembly of computers, We therefore would like to provide knowledge to the general public who wants to learn how to assemble a computer, including information about its components. Through presentation in the form of learning media using VR technology, which will help reduce the problem of errors. and resources used in assembly Ready to create excitement for users by simulating computer assembly for users to interact within the virtual world. experience and provide knowledge before actually putting it into practice with real equipment This project was therefore created for those interested in assembling computers. Especially for people who have no experience in computer assembly. Including people who would like to have the opportunity to try building a computer by themselves.

Effectiveness of plant essential oils on insecticidal activities against the importance medical and veterinary insect pests and bioassay on non- target species

Major medical and veterinary pests including the mosquitoes, houseflies and cockroaches pose health problems for humans and mammals and create more visual obstruction. Therefore, this research discovered a formula of essential oils and active ingredients from herbal plants that are highly effective in controlling and eliminating these insects compared to chemical insecticides, are safe for non-target organisms living in the environment, and are stable and maintain the active properties of the compounds. These formulas can be developed into environmentally friendly natural products to replace or reduce the use of chemical insecticides.
