Process development of healthy snack products from germinated brown rice flour and banana flour using the extrusion process

Abstract

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.

Objective

ขนมขบเคี้ยวส่วนใหญ่ทำจากแป้งและไขมัน ทำให้มีแคลอรี่สูง ในขณะที่ปริมาณโปรตีน แร่ธาตุ และสารออกฤทธิ์ทางชีวภาพค่อนข้างต่ำ การบริโภคขนมขบเคี้ยวอย่างต่อเนื่องและมากเกินไปอาจส่งผลกระทบต่อสุขภาพ ดังนั้น การพัฒนาผลิตภัณฑ์ขนมขบเคี้ยวให้มีคุณค่าทางโภชนาการสูงขึ้นจึงเป็นเรื่องสำคัญ โดยสามารถทำได้ผ่านการปรับสูตรส่วนผสมโดยใช้วัตถุดิบที่มีคุณค่าทางโภชนาการสูง และการพัฒนากระบวนการผลิตที่ไม่ต้องทอด เช่น การใช้กระบวนการเอกซ์ทรูชัน การศึกษาในครั้งนี้จึงมุ่งพัฒนาผลิตภัณฑ์ขนมขบเคี้ยวจากแป้งข้าวกล้องงอกและแป้งกล้วยน้ำว้า ซึ่งมีคุณค่าทางโภชนาการและสารออกฤทธิ์ทางชีวภาพโดดเด่น พร้อมทั้งศึกษาสภาวะที่เหมาะสมของกระบวนการเอกซ์ทรูชันเพื่อให้ผลิตภัณฑ์มีคุณภาพและเป็นประโยชน์ต่อสุขภาพ ตรงตามความต้องการของผู้บริโภคในปัจจุบัน

Auto parts stock systems and management

Nowadays, automobiles are the most widely used form of transportation. This increases the risk of accidents. Therefore, car users prefer to get insurance to reduce the risk in the event of an accident. As for the insurance company, the company will be responsible for damages according to the conditions of the policy. One of the duties of a company's claims department is to procure spare parts to control costs. However, in the case of compensation, there may be erroneous operations, such as ordering the wrong parts or ordering more than necessary. Currently, insurance companies do not have a very efficient management system. This research aims to develop a system for managing and storing automobile parts for insurance companies. The system is designed to be able to track the status of spare parts from storage to disbursement. It uses barcode technology to increase accuracy and reduce errors in data recording. Such a system will help insurance companies manage spare parts systematically, reduce unnecessary costs, and increase efficiency in providing services.

Artificial intelligence of things system for monitoring and controlling irrigation using weather information

This research focuses on the design and development of a prototype Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) system for monitoring and controlling irrigation using weather information. The system consists of four main components: 1) Weather Station – This component includes various sensors such as air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and sunlight duration, among others, to collect real-time weather data. 2) Controller Unit – This unit is equipped with machine learning algorithms or models to estimate the reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and calculate the plant’s water requirement by integrating the crop coefficient (Kc) with other plant-related data. This enables the system to determine the optimal irrigation amount based on plant needs automatically. 3) User Interface (UI) and Display – This section allows farmers or users to input relevant information, such as plant type, soil type, irrigation system type, number of water emitters, planting distance, and growth stages. It also provides a display for monitoring and interaction with the system. 4) Irrigation Unit – This component is responsible for controlling the water supply and managing the irrigation emitters to ensure efficient water distribution based on the calculated requirements.

Serene Arbor Park

The design of a 50-rai public park in the Lat Krabang district of Bangkok aims to provide a recreational space for urban residents in Lat Krabang and nearby areas. The focus is on user groups such as students, university students, and working individuals, incorporating the concept of Universal Design to ensure that everyone in society can use the space equally. However, there is still an emphasis on creating active recreational areas to meet the sports and exercise needs of students, university students, and working individuals. The design of the Lat Krabang area, which is a low-lying region resembling a basin, includes features for water retention, water management, and water treatment for use within the park. The area will focus on exercise, sports, running, walking, relaxation, and educational garden spaces.
