Website design to help graduates manage food expenses and compliance with proper nutritional principles

With the current cost of living situation in Thailand continuously rising, many recent graduates face challenges in managing their expenses in alignment with the increasing living costs. Food expenses, even for common street food, continue to surge with no sign of decreasing, despite improvements in raw material costs. Pay-Attention is a website platform designed to help recent graduates gain insights into managing and optimizing their food expenses effectively. It provides guidance on how to spend wisely, ensuring cost-effectiveness while maintaining adequate daily nutritional intake, without falling into monotonous eating habits.

Characteristics and nutrition values of cereal bar fortified with Asian sea bass bone bio-calcium powder.

คณะอุตสาหกรรมอาหาร

Characteristics and nutrition values of cereal bar fortified with Asian sea bass bone bio-calcium powder.

Bio-calcium powders were extracted from Asian sea bass bone by heat-treated alkaline with fat removal and bleaching supplementary method. Cereal bars (CBs) were fortified with produced bio-calcium at 3 levels: (1) increased calcium (IS-Ca; calcium ≥10% Thai RDI), (2) good source of calcium (GS-Ca; calcium ≥15% Thai RDI), and (3) high calcium (H-Ca; calcium ≥30% Thai RDI) which were consistent with the notification of the Ministry of Public Health, Thailand: No. 445; Nutrition claim issued in B.E. 2023. Moisture content, water activity, color, calcium content and FTIR analysis of bio-calcium powders were measured. Dimension, color, water activity, pH and texture of fortified CBs were determined. Produced bio-calcium could be classified as a dried food with light yellow-white color. Calcium contents in bio-calcium powder was 23.4% (w/w). Dimension, weight and color except b* and ΔE* values of fortified CBs were not different (P > 0.05) from those of the control. Fortifying of bio-calcium resulted in harder texture CBs. An increase of fortified bio-calcium amounts decreased carbohydrate and fat but increased of protein, ash and calcium in the fortified CBs. Shelf life of CBs was to be shorten by fortification of bio-calcium powder because of the increment of moisture, water activity and pH. Yield of bio-calcium production was 40.30%. Production cost of bio-calcium was approximately 7,416 Bth/kg while cost of fortified CBs increased almost 2-3 times compared to the control. Calcium contents in IS-Ca (921.12 mg/100g), GS-Ca (1,287.10 mg/100g) and H-Ca (2,639.70 mg/100g) cereal bars could be claimed as increased calcium, good source of calcium and high calcium, respectively. In conclusion, production of cereal bar fortified with Asian sea bass bone bio-calcium powder as a fortified food was possible. However, checking the remained hazardous reagents in bio-calcium powder must be carried out before using in food products and analysis of calcium bioavailability, sensory acceptance and shelf life of the developed products should be determined in further studies.

PRODUCTION OF PYROLYSIS OIL FROM LANDFILLED PLASTIC WASTES FOR UTILIZATION AS A RENEWABLE FUEL

The aim of experiment was to study the pyrolysis oil derived from sorted landfill plastic waste that had been buried for 15 years by the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization. The pyrolysis oil was produced using a Fixed-Bed Reactor at 450 °C for 1.5 hours with LPG as the feedstock, with the goal of using the pyrolysis oil as an alternative fuel. The experiment was conducted under four different conditions : (1) plastic waste buried in a landfill that has not been washed but has been reduced in size, (2) plastic waste buried in a landfill that has been washed and has been reduced in size, (3) plastic waste buried in a landfill that not has been washed and has not been reduced in size, (4) plastic waste buried in a landfill that has not been washed and has been reduced size, with activated carbon used as a catalyst. The experiment revealed that three products were produced : Oil, gas, and char in different quantity. The pyrolysis oil were compared in terms of quality based on pH, Heating value, Moisture content, Functional group, and Chemical Composition. The pyrolysis oil we obtained will be referenced according to the criteria from the Department of Energy Business. The analysis results of the pyrolysis can explain which conditions are suitable for replacing fuel oil in industrial It is therefore one of the approaches that helps manage plastic waste in landfills, reducing the quantity by converting it into usable energy.
