Banana Blossom Chips is a healthy snack rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, and plant-based protein. It is a result of combining local Thai ingredients: banana blossoms, which are high in dietary fiber and antioxidants, chickpea flour, a source of plant-based protein, and red jasmine brown rice, which has a low GI value and high antioxidants. It is processed to create crispiness and a unique shape, reduces fat, is gluten-free, and helps maintain nutritional value. Therefore, it is a new alternative for health-conscious consumers and adds value to Thai agricultural products.

Sugar production from sugarcane is a complex process that requires precise control. One of the major issues is sugar loss, which can result from various factors, particularly "burnt cane," before being sent to the mill. This affects the quality of the sugarcane and the efficiency of sugar extraction, along with the performance of the machinery and the properties of the cane, which impact the amount of sugar extracted. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence sugar loss in the sugar production process, using quantitative data from a sugar factory. Nine variables were examined, including mechanical efficiency, machine downtime per day, cane waiting time per day, sand content in cane juice, pol extraction efficiency, overall working time efficiency, cane juice purity, cane sugar content (C.C.S.), and burnt cane. The data were analyzed using correlation analysis to examine relationships between variables and regression modeling to predict sugar loss. The results showed that mechanical efficiency, cane sugar content, and the amount of sand or impurities in the cane juice were significantly correlated with sugar loss. Mechanical efficiency had a direct relationship with the amount of cane milled, which improved sugar production. On the other hand, burnt cane, or cane that was burnt before harvesting, resulted in reduced sugar extraction and impacted the quality of the sugar. Therefore, reducing sugar loss in the production process can be achieved by improving machine efficiency, reducing impurities in cane juice, and managing burnt cane, which will improve sugar production efficiency in the future.

Threadfin breams is an economically important fish that can be found in fisheries in both the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman Sea and is cheap. In addition, the consumption of raw fish as sashimi is increasingly popular in Thailand. Therefore, it is necessary to promote its consumption to increase its value. This study investigated the preservation of threadfin breams (N. furcosus) for raw or sashimi consumption. The preservation of threadfin breams consisted of Ikejime (K) and cold seawater (S) methods, and the preservation of the fish by Gutting (G) and whole (W) and storing for 3 days on ice (I) or in a refrigerator (F). The freshness quality of threadfin breams was evaluated by sensory, physicochemical (TVB-N, TMA-N and pH), freshness index (Ki-value) and microbiological methods. It was found that after being stored for 3 days, the KGF group of threadfin breams had the highest overall sensory score, which was 8.36±0.80 points, and the KWI, SWI and SWF groups of threadfin breams had the lowest overall sensory scores, which were 8.13±0.77, 8.13±0.77 and 8.13±0.81 points, respectively. And the overall sensory scores of all experimental groups of fish increased significantly (p<0.05). The TVB-N value of threadfin breams in KGF group had the lowest TVB-N value, which was 1.37±0.93 mg nitrogen/100 g sample. The threadfin breams in SGI group had the highest TVB-N value, which was 2.36±1.15 mg nitrogen/100 g sample. The TVB-N of fish in all experimental groups increased significantly (p<0.05). The TMA-N value of threadfin breams in KGF group had the lowest TMA-N value, which was 1.56±0.88 mg nitrogen/100 g sample. The threadfin breams in SWF group had the highest TMA-N value, which was 2.17±1.22 mg nitrogen/100 g sample. The TMA-N of fish in all experimental groups increased significantly (p<0.05). The pH value of threadfin breams in KGF group had the lowest pH value, which was 6.40±0.12. The threadfin breams in SWF group had the highest pH value, which was 6.78±0.25. The pH of fish in all experimental groups increased significantly (p<0.05). Ki value The threadfin breams in KGF group had the lowest Ki value, which was 9.05±0.73%. The threadfin breams in KWI group had the highest Ki value, which was 12.88±4.19%. The Ki value of all experimental groups of fish increased without statistical significance (p>0.05). In terms of freshness quality in microbiology, it was found that in all experimental groups, Salmonella spp., S. aureus, B. cereus, C. perfringens and E. coli were found in all experimental groups of threadfin breams. All types of microorganisms in all groups of threadfin breams increased with statistical significance (p<0.05). When compared with the freshness quality criteria in terms of sensory, chemical, physical, freshness index and microbiology, it was found that all groups of threadfin breams were very fresh and suitable for raw consumption during the preservation and storage for 3 days. After 3 days of storage, the threadfin breams should be consumed cooked because the freshness quality of the fish is not suitable for raw consumption due to the increase in various parameters. The increase in various parameters is due to the deterioration of the fish and the activities of microorganisms. Therefore, threadfin breams is suitable to promote raw consumption within 3 days of storage. In addition, fish preservation, especially by Ikejime method, then cutting open the belly and storing in the refrigerator, can help improve the freshness of the fish. The results of this study can be used to develop techniques for preserving fish after capture for fishermen and can promote the increase in the value of threadfin breams in the future.
