This study aimed to develop a formula and production process for snacks made from germinated brown rice flour and banana flour using the extrusion process. The results indicated that both germinated brown rice flour and banana flour could be effectively used as the main raw materials for snack production via extrusion. The proportion of flour in the formula and production conditions, such as moisture content of the raw materials, barrel temperature, and screw speed, significantly influenced the nutritional value, bioactive compound levels, and antioxidant activity of the final products.
ขนมขบเคี้ยวส่วนใหญ่ทำจากแป้งและไขมัน ทำให้มีแคลอรี่สูง ในขณะที่ปริมาณโปรตีน แร่ธาตุ และสารออกฤทธิ์ทางชีวภาพค่อนข้างต่ำ การบริโภคขนมขบเคี้ยวอย่างต่อเนื่องและมากเกินไปอาจส่งผลกระทบต่อสุขภาพ ดังนั้น การพัฒนาผลิตภัณฑ์ขนมขบเคี้ยวให้มีคุณค่าทางโภชนาการสูงขึ้นจึงเป็นเรื่องสำคัญ โดยสามารถทำได้ผ่านการปรับสูตรส่วนผสมโดยใช้วัตถุดิบที่มีคุณค่าทางโภชนาการสูง และการพัฒนากระบวนการผลิตที่ไม่ต้องทอด เช่น การใช้กระบวนการเอกซ์ทรูชัน การศึกษาในครั้งนี้จึงมุ่งพัฒนาผลิตภัณฑ์ขนมขบเคี้ยวจากแป้งข้าวกล้องงอกและแป้งกล้วยน้ำว้า ซึ่งมีคุณค่าทางโภชนาการและสารออกฤทธิ์ทางชีวภาพโดดเด่น พร้อมทั้งศึกษาสภาวะที่เหมาะสมของกระบวนการเอกซ์ทรูชันเพื่อให้ผลิตภัณฑ์มีคุณภาพและเป็นประโยชน์ต่อสุขภาพ ตรงตามความต้องการของผู้บริโภคในปัจจุบัน

The process of treating cancer patients in the chemotherapy department at Chonburi Cancer Hospital is complicated and inconvenient due to the procedure of submitting blood test results through the personal LINE application of medical staff, which hinders workflow efficiency. Therefore, the researcher has developed a cancer patient management and tracking program in the form of a web-based application and LINE LIFF (LINE Front-end Framework) application to facilitate both medical personnel and patients. The web-based application is designed for medical personnel to monitor, schedule, and collect patient data, while the LINE application is designed for patients to submit blood test results, view appointment schedules, record symptoms after chemotherapy, log their weekly weight, and access a chatbot for consultation. This system is developed based on client-server technology, which enhances data analysis efficiency and supports automated treatment planning. As a result, the cancer treatment process becomes faster, more modern, and more efficient.

In today’s rapidly expanding e-commerce environment, the massive volume of product reviews makes it crucial to summarize user opinions in a way that is both comprehensible and practically applicable. This research presents a system for analyzing product reviews using Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA), a Natural Language Processing (NLP) technique that identifies key aspects of a review (such as shipping, product quality, and packaging) and evaluates the sentiment (positive, negative, or neutral) associated with each aspect, allowing both consumers and merchants to gain more efficient access to in-depth insights. This project focuses on developing AI for Thai-language ABSA by utilizing WangchanBERTa, a model trained on Thai data, and comparing it with various standard approaches such as TF-IDF + Logistic Regression, Word2Vec + BiLSTM, and Multilingual BERT (mBERT/XLM-R) to assess their performance in terms of accuracy, speed, and resource usage. Additionally, a dashboard visualization is provided to help users quickly grasp review trends. The expected outcome is to create an AI tool that can be practically employed in the e-commerce industry, enabling consumers to make easier purchasing decisions and assisting merchants in effectively improving their products and services.

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.
