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.

In a world increasingly focused on sustainability and reducing environmental impact, DreamHigh is pioneering an innovative approach to packaging solutions using mycelium—a natural, biodegradable, and renewable material derived from fungi. Our mission is to revolutionize the packaging industry by offering eco-friendly alternatives that not only reduce waste but also align with global efforts to combat climate change. Mycelium packaging offers a compelling alternative to traditional plastic and Styrofoam packaging, which contribute significantly to environmental pollution. It is fully biodegradable, compostable, and capable of breaking down in natural environments within weeks, leaving no toxic residues behind. Additionally, mycelium-based products are lightweight, durable, and customizable, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, from consumer goods packaging to protective shipping materials. DreamHigh’s business plan outlines a scalable production process leveraging advanced mycelium cultivation techniques and partnerships with local agricultural sectors to utilize agricultural waste as a key raw material. This not only ensures cost-efficiency but also supports a circular economy by repurposing waste that would otherwise be discarded.

Plant-based refers to food or products that are primarily made from plants. It can be divided into two categories: one is food that comes entirely from plants and does not include any animal products, and the other is food that contains small amounts of animal products, such as products that contain milk and eggs in limited quantities, which may also be considered part of the definition of plant-based. Plant-based meat products that closely resemble real meat and attract consumers are considered a relatively new innovation. Although tofu, tempeh, and seitan have been around for a long time, recent discoveries have led to the production of plant-based meat products that provide a sensory experience, making it difficult for consumers to distinguish between real meat and plant-based meat. Furthermore, the development of plant-based food products must prioritize quality and safety to maximize consumer benefits. Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) is a plant-based protein made from soybeans using an extruder. It is used as a primary ingredient in the production of plant-based food products due to several advantages. These include: • High Protein Content: TVP is made from soybeans with the fat extracted, resulting in a high protein content. • Texture: When rehydrated, TVP has a texture that closely resembles meat. • Versatility: TVP has a neutral flavor, allowing it to easily absorb the flavors of various seasonings and sauces. • Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to other protein sources, TVP is relatively inexpensive while providing desirable characteristics. These benefits make TVP an attractive option in the production of plant-based foods. This study focuses on developing TVP into a plant-based crab cake and investigating the shelf life of the product in a tightly sealed container under refrigeration. It also analyzes the hygiene and cleanliness of the production process and how these factors affect the presence or growth of microorganisms that may pose a risk to consumers, referencing the cold food safety standards of Thailand. Finally, recommendations for cleaning operational areas will be provided to establishments as a guideline for developing preliminary food safety procedures in laboratory settings.

This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of lime containing more than 50% calcium oxide and not less than 29% magnesium oxide in enhancing water alkalinity for Pacific White Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) aquaculture. The experiment was conducted at concentrations of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 ppm over a 48-hour period, with data collected at 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours. Results demonstrated that lime exhibited high dissolution efficiency (65-86%) within the first hour and reached complete dissolution (98.5-98.6%) within 6 hours. The pH values initially increased proportionally with lime concentration, gradually decreased during 3-12 hours, before stabilizing. Total alkalinity showed significant increase during the first 3-6 hours and remained stable until the end of the experiment. Statistical analysis revealed that both concentration and time significantly affected all parameters (p < 0.001)
