Abstract: Banana French Fries This project aimed to study and develop the product Banana French Fries, which is a snack made by frying bananas in a form similar to French fries, in order to add value to bananas and create new choices for consumers. The experiment consisted of selecting suitable banana varieties, developing a coating formula, and testing the taste of samples. The results of the study found that Nam Wa bananas are the most suitable for making banana French fries because they have a firm texture and naturally sweet taste. The best coating formula consists of wheat flour, eggs, and milk, which provide longer crispiness. The taste test found that most consumers gave a very good response and were satisfied with the taste and texture. This project shows that banana French fries are a product with potential to be developed as a healthy snack and can be further developed into a commercial product in the future.

Microalgae are rich in bioactive compounds that may contribute to the growth of probiotics, which require appropriate nutrients, known as prebiotics, to thrive. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of crude extracts from intracellular components residues of the microalga Chlorella sp. KLSc61 in promoting the growth of the probiotic bacterium Lactiplantibacillus plantarum JCM1149 under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. The intracellular extracts were obtained using 70% (v/v) ethanol, and their effects on probiotic growth were tested at concentrations of 0.1%, 0.75% and 1.5%. The growth of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum JCM1149 was assessed using the drop plate method. The findings of this study will provide insights into the potential of Chlorella sp. KLSc61 extracts in enhancing probiotic growth, which could lead to the development of synbiotic dietary supplements containing both probiotics and prebiotics. Additionally, this study may serve as a foundation for further research on the role of microalgal extracts in gut health and immune system modulation.

The species Enterococcus lactis is closely related to E. faecium and is known for its beneficial and probiotic effects. In this study, strain RRS4 was isolated from Raphanus sativus Linn. and identified based on both phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. Strain RRS4 exhibited cell viability in environments with 2-8% NaCl, pH ranging from 4 to 9, and temperatures between 4°C and 45°C. Through comprehensive genomic analysis, strain RRS4 was confirmed to be E. lactis. E. lactis RRS4 demonstrated inhibitory effects against Vancomycin-resistant E. faecalis JCM 5803. Safety assessments via in silico methods, including KEGG annotation, indicated the absence of virulent and undesirable genes in E. lactis RRS4. VirulenceFinder analysis aligned virulence-related genes with those from three strains of E. lactis and four strains of E. faecium. While antibiotic resistance genes were found to be conserved, they did not correlate with key pathogenicity traits. Furthermore, safety evaluations highlighted that E. lactis RRS4 is generally safe, despite the presence of genes associated with antibiotic resistance. Lastly, we propose guidelines for assessing the safety of microbial strains using whole-genome analysis. These findings represent advancements in probiotic research.

KinderForest : Puzzle Building Game with VR Technology is designed to utilize Virtual Reality (VR) technology with the primary aim of promoting creative problem-solving skills and basic practical application abilities among players. This project presents the game in an Augmented Virtual Reality (AR VR) format, emphasizing physical engagement of players during gameplay while fostering creativity and fundamental application skills. The project team has chosen to utilize Unreal Engine 5.1 and Oculus Quest 2 virtual reality glasses to develop the game in the form of augmented virtual reality technology. Within the game, there will be various levels that require creative thinking and different approaches to pass. Time constraints will be a crucial element in completing missions and progressing through these levels. Players will physically move their bodies in response to in-game movements. Each level will present unique challenges that will necessitate both physical movement and problem-solving skills. The game will provide different rewards based on the outcomes of mission completion, and players will be informed of their results once they have successfully passed a level.
