In raising crickets for meat consumption, the growth rate and growth period of crickets are important data used to identify the number of crickets per breeding area at each age. Therefore, the researcher has an idea to create a system for monitoring the growth rate of crickets in a closed system using an infrared camera combined with computer image processing to study the growth and identify the growth period of crickets at each age in order to obtain knowledge that can be disseminated to farmers to improve the breeding process for maximum efficiency.
ปัจจุบันจิ้งหรีดถือได้ว่าเป็นสัตว์เศรษฐกิจชนิดใหม่ของประเทศไทยซึ่งทางภาครัฐโดยเฉพาะกรมปศุสัตว์ได้เริ่มมีการส่งเสริมให้ภาคการเกษตรได้เพาะเลี้ยงจิ้งหรีดเพื่อการบริโภคสำหรับการส่งออก และเป็นการตอบรับกับเทรนด์อุตสาหกรรมอาหารใหม่ (Novel food) ตามแนวทางขององค์การอาหาร และเกษตรแห่งสหประชาชาติ (FAO : Food and Agriculture Organization) ซึ่งคาดการณ์เอาไว้ว่าจำนวนประชากรโลกจะเพิ่มขึ้นอย่างต่อเนื่องทำให้ความต้องการแหล่งโปรตีนมีมากขึ้นตามไปด้วย คณะผู้วิจัยจึงมีแนวความคิดที่จะหาสร้างระบบเลี้ยงจิ้งหรีดที่มีประสิทธิภาพ

This research aims to develop a horse treat product that meets the nutritional and health needs of horses by using natural ingredients with beneficial properties, such as oats, wheat flour, corn flour, and organic molasses. These ingredients are rich in fiber, vitamins, and essential minerals for horses, while also enhancing digestive efficiency, reducing the risk of colic, and providing an appropriate energy source. The treat is designed with a shape suitable for a horse’s chewing behavior and is infused with Thai fruit flavors, such as pineapple and ripe mango, to attract horses and make consumption easier. The production process emphasizes cleanliness and safety by selecting organic ingredients and avoiding harmful preservatives. The packaging is designed to maintain product quality for an extended period, prevent moisture, and be convenient for horse owners to use. Additionally, the treat can be used as a reward during horse training, helping to strengthen the bond between the horse and its owner while reducing equine stress. This product serves as both a health-boosting snack and an effective training tool, making it suitable for horses that require highly nutritious supplements. It also provides a new option for horse owners seeking a safe and beneficial product for their horse’s overall well-being.

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 artwork was created based on the universal concepts of global warming and post-apocalyptic world, which has caused disturbances and chaos in ecosystems, leading to the extinction of many living beings on Earth due to human actions. Repairing and restoring this world may therefore be a false hope, connected to my personal experience of losing loved ones and the sorrow from setting high hope, through the artistic process using Animation Art and Sound Art.
