The Kachatthai Project in Surin Province has been developed as a space to promote and generate income for farmers, incorporating a design concept that reflects the unique identity of Surin Province as its main guideline.
จังหวัดสุรินทร์เป็นพื้นที่ที่มีศักยภาพด้านการเกษตรและเป็นที่รู้จักในฐานะแหล่งเลี้ยงช้างที่สำคัญของประเทศไทย อีกทั้งยังมีอัตลักษณ์ทางวัฒนธรรมที่โดดเด่น โดยเฉพาะวิถีชีวิตของชาวพื้นเมืองและการเกษตรแบบดั้งเดิม อย่างไรก็ตาม เกษตรกรในพื้นที่ยังคงเผชิญกับปัญหาด้านรายได้และการตลาดของสินค้าเกษตร โครงการคชาทัยจึงถูกพัฒนาขึ้นเพื่อเป็นกลไกในการส่งเสริมและสนับสนุนเกษตรกร รวมถึงช่วยเพิ่มมูลค่าทางเศรษฐกิจและยกระดับคุณภาพชีวิตของประชาชนในท้องถิ่น

With the urgent need for rapid screening of Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) due to its association with increased liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma cases from contaminated agricultural foods, we propose a novel electrochemical aptasensor. This aptasensor is based on trimetallic nanoparticles AuPt-Ru supported by reduced graphene oxide (AuPt-Ru/RGO) modified on a low-cost and disposable goldleaf electrode (GLEAuPt-Ru/RGO) for detection of AFB1. The trimetallic nanoparticle AuPt-Ru was synthesized using an ultrasonic-driven chemical reduction method. The synthesized AuPt-Ru exhibited a waxberry-like appearance, with AuPt core-shell structure and ruthenium dispersed over the particles. The average particle size was 57.35 ± 8.24 nm. The AuPt-Ru was integrated into RGO sheets (inner diameter of 0.5 to 1.6 µm) in order to enhance electron transfer efficiency and increase the specific immobilizing surface area of the thiol-5’-terminated modified aptamer (Apt) to target AFB1. With a large electrochemical surface area and low electrochemical impedance, GLEAuPt-Ru/RGO displays ultra-high sensitivity for AFB1 detection. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurements revealed a linear range for AFB1 detection range from 0.3 to 30.0 pg mL-1 (R2 = 0.9972), with a limit of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) and a limit of quantification (LOQ, S/N = 10) of 0.009 pg mL-1 and 0.031 pg mL-1, respectively. The developed aptasensor also demonstrated excellent accuracy in real agricultural products, including dried red chili, garlic, peanut, pepper, and Thai jasmine rice, achieving recovery rates between 94.6 and 107.9%. The fabricated aptamer-based GLEAuPt-Ru/RGO performance is comparable to that of a modified commercial electrode, which has great potential application prospects for detecting AFB1 in agricultural products.

Mulberry Kefir is a fermented drink made from ripe mulberry fruit, made from ripe mulberry juice. Its pinkish-red color is the color of the natural anthocyanin in mulberries. Anthocyanins have antioxidant properties and contain the prebiotic fructo-oligosaccharides, the probiotic microorganisms Lactobacillus and Saccharomeces. It has a sweet and sour taste, is fizzy and has a little alcohol. The taste and fizz come from production technology, which uses a fermentation process from microorganisms. Mulberry kefir is considered a functional beverage made from plants (Plant Based Beverage), suitable for people who are lactose intolerant and those who do not consume beverages made from milk. It makes you feel refreshed after drinking it.

Artificial intelligence for agriculture and environment is a collection of significant models for enviromental friendly Thailand development. The models create with machine learning and deep learning by Near infrared spectroscopy research center for agricultural and food products, including: Determining the nutrient needs (N P K) of durian trees by measuring durian leaves using a non-destructive technique using artificial intelligence, Identification of combustion properties of biomass from fast-growing trees and agricultural residues using non-destructive techniques combined with artificial intelligence, and Evaluation of global warming due to biomass combustion using non-destructive techniques using artificial intelligence. The basic technology used is Near infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy technology which measurement and output display can be done quickly without chemical, no requirement for special expert, and measurement price per sample is very low. But the instrument cannot be produced in Thailand.
