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

This research aims to select the location of the beverage distribution center of Thai Spirit Industry Co., Ltd. with the lowest total cost of transportation. using a mathematical model by considering the Muang districts of all 76 provinces, excluding Chachoengsao Province, where the factory is located. In the present study, four scenarios were divided: 1) when only one distribution center was required; 2) when more than one distribution center was established; 3) when it was divided into 4 regions. There can only be one distribution center in one region, and 4) when it is divided into four regions, where more than one distribution center can be established in one region. When processed with the program IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio, the results are summarized as follows: Scenario 1, when only one distribution center is assigned. The total transportation cost is 786,107.75 baht/month. Scenario 2, when more than one distribution center can be established. The total transportation cost is 252,338.98 baht/month. Scenario 3, when divided into 4 regions by requiring only one distribution center in one region. The total transportation cost is 401,499.61 baht/month. Scenario 4, when divided into 4 regions by requiring that there is more than one distribution center in each region. The total transportation cost is 258,666.22 baht/month.

This study aims to develop a board game on mushrooms production with cooperative learning and to examine its effects on the learning achievement of third-year vocational certificate students in the mushroom production course. The research instruments included a board game designed using the Educational Boardgame Design Canvas framework, comprising 60 cards (7 main cards, 24 secondary cards, and 29 additional cards). The board game was implemented alongside the Learning Together (LT) cooperative learning approach, following the ASSURE Model for instructional media design. Pre- and post-tests, along with a satisfaction questionnaire, were used to assess student performance and engagement. The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement at the .05 level in students' learning achievement before and after using the board game. At Ratchaburi College of Agriculture and Technology, the post-test mean score was 16.00, compared to a pre-test mean score of 12.50. Student satisfaction with the learning approach was at the highest level, with an average satisfaction score of 4.69. To further refine and expand the study, the board game was also implemented at the Uthai Thani College of Agriculture and Technology, where similar improvements were observed. The post-test mean score increased to 11.21, compared to a pre-test mean score of 7.48, confirming the research hypothesis. Student satisfaction at Uthai Thani College of Agriculture and Technology was also high, with an average satisfaction score of 4.39. These results suggest that integrating board games with cooperative learning effectively enhances student achievement and engagement in agricultural education.

This research project aims to study and develop a metaverse system for tourism in Horklong Subdistrict, Phitsanulok Province. The primary goal is to create a prototype metaverse system that showcases the cultural and historical tourist attractions in Horklong Subdistrict through virtual reality technology. This will help promote tourism in rural areas that are not yet widely known and enhance the modern promotion of tourist attractions in the province. The development of the metaverse system in this project utilizes virtual reality technology to simulate the experience of touring Horklong Subdistrict via a virtual boat ride. Users will be able to access the system through the Unity platform, which is a tool used to develop 3D and VR applications. The system is designed to allow users to choose to ride a virtual boat and visit various places that have been creatively recreated in a virtual format. These locations are designed and developed using 3D models based on real data collected from the Horklong Subdistrict area. This project is therefore an initiative to sustainably promote cultural and historical tourism in Phitsanulok Province. It has the potential to increase income for local communities as well as to disseminate local knowledge and wisdom to a broader audience. The metaverse system for tourism in Horklong Subdistrict is thus an important project in modernizing the province’s tourism sector and attracting more visitors, both domestically and internationally.
