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.

In Thailand, the quantity of old tires has been increasing annually, posing a significant environmental challenge due to their non-biodegradable material. However, old tires contain an internal porous structure, which suggests their potential application as sound-absorbing materials. Porosity is a key characteristic that enables materials to trap sound waves, making them effective for noise reduction. Therefore, this study aims to investigate and develop sound-absorbing materials from old tire rubber powder. The methodology involved mixing old tire powder with fresh latex at a ratio of 1:2, followed by drying at a temperature of 120°C for four hours. Subsequently, the physical properties influencing sound absorption, including density, porosity, and water absorption, were analyzed. The results indicated that the sound-absorbing material produced from old tire rubber powder showed a density of 0.96 g/cm³, a porosity value of 0.45, and a water absorption of 11.03%. Therefore, the findings suggest that old tire rubber powder has the potential to be effectively utilized as a sound-absorbing material.

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.

This study focused on the development of an edible film containing Terminalia chebula Retz extract for the treatment of oral ulcers. The film was designed to dissolve in the mouth without the need for swallowing or chewing, which is suitable for people with canker sores or oral inflammation. Terminalia chebula extract has been shown to have several pharmacological properties, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities.
