Innovation Project on Age-Defying Hyaluronic Acid Dates Palm Serum

Innovation Project on Age-Defying Hyaluronic Acid Dates Palm Serum

Abstract

The Age-Defying Dates Palm Serum is an innovative skincare product formulated with date palm extract, known for its high antioxidant content that helps reduce wrinkles and retain skin moisture. Combined with hyaluronic acid, the serum enhances hydration and skin elasticity. This research explores factors influencing consumers’ purchasing intentions, revealing a preference for anti-aging properties, product safety, and natural ingredients. This serum aims to provide a novel option in the skincare market by utilizing high-quality natural extracts.

Objective

มลภาวะและสภาวะแวดล้อมที่รุนแรงส่งผลให้ผิวเสื่อมสภาพและเกิดริ้วรอยก่อนวัย อินทผลัมเป็นพืชที่มีสารต้านอนุมูลอิสระสูง ช่วยชะลอความเสื่อมของเซลล์ผิว การนำสารสกัดจากอินทผลัมมาพัฒนาเป็นผลิตภัณฑ์เซรั่มจึงเป็นแนวทางหนึ่งในการสร้างมูลค่าเพิ่มให้กับผลผลิตทางการเกษตร รวมถึงส่งเสริมผลิตภัณฑ์จากธรรมชาติให้ได้รับการยอมรับในตลาด

Developing Rice Starch-Rice Bran Polyphenol Complexes for Glycemic Control Using Green Processing

Zero-waste management is crucial for sustainable food systems, promoting the use of agricultural by-products like rice bran. Rich in bioactive polyphenols with antioxidant and antidiabetic properties, rice bran can enhance the nutritional value of food. Polyphenols can slow starch digestion by forming complexes with starch, making them useful for creating low-glycemic foods. While ultrasonication and freeze-thaw treatments have been beneficial individually, their combined effects on starch-polyphenol complexation remain understudied. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of combining these treatments on the interaction between rice starch and red rice bran polyphenols. The dual treatment increased the complexing index, altered functional properties, and affected granule morphology. Structural analysis indicated non-covalent interactions forming non-V-type complexes. Additionally, starch digestibility was reduced, lowering the estimated glycemic index (eGI) compared to the control. These findings suggest a sustainable and green approach to starch modification, with potential for developing functional food products and advancing zero-waste processing.

Development of Carbon Nanofiber Composite Materials for Supercapacitors in Energy Storage

This study presents the development of carbon-based multiphase metal oxide nanocomposites (CNF@MOx; M = Ag, Mn, Bi, Fe) incorporating silver, manganese, bismuth, and iron nanoparticles within polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-derived carbon nanofibers. These nanocomposites were fabricated via the electrospinning technique followed by annealing in an argon atmosphere. The resulting nanofibers exhibited a uniform structure, with diameters ranging from 559 to 830 nm and embedded nanoparticles of 9-21 nm. Structural characterization confirmed the presence of various oxidation states of metal oxides, which play a crucial role in charge storage mechanisms. Electrochemical performance testing demonstrated that CNF@Ag/Mn/Bi/Fe-20 achieved the highest specific capacitance of 156 F g⁻¹ at a scan rate of 2 mV s⁻¹ and exhibited excellent cycling stability, retaining over 96% of its capacitance after 1400 charge-discharge cycles. The synergistic combination of electric double-layer capacitance and redox-based charge storage enhances the performance of these nanofibers as promising electrode materials for supercapacitor applications.
