Herbal inhaler Homyen

Herbal inhaler Homyen

Abstract

The innovation of aromatic and cooling inhalers stems from the widespread use of inhalers in modern times. This innovation aims to elevate the product to suit contemporary lifestyles, incorporating Thai identity in a way that resonates with the younger generation. The development focuses on enhancing scents using locally sourced Thai ingredients, adding value to Thai flowers and fruits. Various extraction methods are employed to preserve the fragrance for a longer duration. Additionally, borneol, camphor, and menthol are blended to provide a refreshing and cooling sensation. For the packaging, polymer clay is used to create the container, which is hand-molded and then baked to harden. Instead of a traditional cap, a fabric covering is used to introduce a unique and innovative alternative to conventional inhalers.

Objective

เพื่อยกระดับวัตถุดิบท้องถิ่นไทยให้มีกลิ่นที่แปลกใหม่ เพื่อให้เข้าถึงคนรุ่นใหม่ได้มากขึ้นและสร้างกลิ่นอัตลักษณ์ไทยโดยใช้ดอกไม้และผลไม้ไทยในการทำยาดม

Center of Invention for Future and Sustainability

The " Center of Invention for Future and Sustainability Project (Continuing)" serves as a continuation of a pilot initiative focused on the retrofitting of older buildings (Vach. 7), specifically a five-story structure. The primary aim of this project is to develop methodologies for enhancing the sustainability of existing buildings in order to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions. In the execution of the Future and Sustainability Innovation Development Center Project (Continuing), a comprehensive analysis of relevant data and theoretical frameworks has been undertaken, leading to the formulation of a research methodology designed to identify optimal strategies for retrofitting older buildings to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. This approach is structured into three principal phases: the combustion of fuels associated with transportation, labor, and materials; the electricity consumption during the construction process; and the accumulation of greenhouse gases from both existing and new construction materials. The project employs an experimental research design, wherein empirical data is collected to evaluate and quantify the equivalent carbon dioxide emissions arising from the construction of new buildings compared to the retrofitting of the selected case study building. Subsequent analysis of the collected data revealed that retrofitting the existing structure—through the integration of sustainable design principles—resulted in greenhouse gas emissions of 11.88 kgCO2e/sq.m. In contrast, the emissions associated with new building construction amounted to 299.35 kgCO2e/sq.m., indicating a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by a factor of approximately 26 when compared to the construction of new buildings.

Development of the intelligent indicator label for monitoring rancidity of deep fried foods

The production process of the food rancidity indicator label consists of three main steps: 1) preparation of the indicator solution, 2) preparation of the cellulose solution, and 3) formation of the sheet. The indicator solution includes bromothymol blue and methyl red, which act as indicators. The cellulose solution consists of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium hydroxide, polyethylene glycol 400, and the indicator solution. For the sheet formation, the cellulose solution was mixed with natural latex to increase flexibility and impart hydrophobic properties. After drying, the invention appears as a thin, dark blue label. When exposed to volatile compounds from rancid food, the label changes color from dark blue to green, and then to yellow, corresponding to the increasing amount of volatile compounds from the rancid food.
