Unpolished Rice Yogurt with Trio Probiotic Popping Pearls and Healthy Rice Cereal

Unpolished Rice Yogurt with Trio Probiotic Popping Pearls and Healthy Rice Cereal

Abstract

This black rice yogurt combines Trio Probiotic popping pearls and healthy rice cereal, rich in anthocyanins that help slow down bodily aging. It contains 3 types of probiotics to support gut balance and enhance digestive efficiency. This zero-waste product repurposes rice residue from the production process into nutritious cereal, offering a delicious and health-packed experience in one cup.

Objective

1.เนื่องจากในปัจจุบันมีผู้ที่แพ้น้ำตาลแลคโตสเป็นจำนวนมาก และด้วยกระแสของอาหาร plant based ทุกคนเริ่มหันมาให้ความสนใจ พวกเราจึงมีแนวคิดที่จะทำผลิตภัณฑ์โยเกิร์ต plant based จากข้าวหักที่ไม่ผ่านการขัดสี(ข้าวก่ำ และข้าวหอมนิล) ซึ่งเป็นการช่วยสร้างมูลค่าเพิ่มให้กับข้าวหัก ที่มีราคาต่ำ ช่วยเพิ่มรายได้ให้กับเกษตรกรไทย 2.อีกทั้งยังมี Pop Trio Probiotic มาในรูปแบบ Spheres ซึ่งมีเชื้อจุลินทรีย์ Probiotics ถึง 3 ชนิด โดยจะทำงานทั้งในลำไส้เล็กและลำไส้ใหญ่ ซึ่งความพิเศษ คือ การใช้ Encapsulation Technique ในการบรรจุ เชื้อจุลินทรีย์ Probiotics ถึง 3 ชนิด เพื่อยืดอายุ และปกป้องเชื้อจุลินทรีย์ 3.สุดท้ายนี้ ผลิตภัณฑ์ Yo Fran’s มีการนำ Byproduct จากกระบวนการผลิต มาใช้ประโยชน์อย่างคุ้มค่า ซึ่งคือ ซีเรียลข้าวกรุบกรอบ นั่นเอง

Improving surface water quality via coagulation using Moringa, Roselle, and Tamarind seed extract.

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of extracts from moringa seeds, roselle seeds, and tamarind seeds as coagulants to improve water quality in surface water sources. Extracts from these seeds serve as environmentally friendly coagulants and provide alternative options for enhancing surface water quality. The turbidity of surface water sources ranged between 14 and 24 NTU. The coagulation process used the Jar Test method, where the moringa seed, roselle seed, and tamarind seed extracts functioned as both primary coagulants and coagulant aids. In the preparation process, the seeds were finely ground and extracted using a 0.5-M sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. These extracts were then applied as coagulants to reduce turbidity and enhance water quality, with each concentration tested in 300 ml of water. The results indicated that the most effective way to remove turbidity using 2,000 mg/L of moringa seed extract, achieving a turbidity reduction of approximately 73.19% at a cost of 0.0309 baht per 300 ml of water. Followed by Tamarind seed extract, with a concentration of 4,000 mg/L, followed with a turbidity reduction of approximately 56.75% at a cost of 0.0933 baht per 300 ml. Lastly, roselle seed extract at 6,000 mg/L achieved a turbidity reduction of approximately 32.67% at a cost of 0.0567 baht per 300 ml of water.

Improvement and Technical production of hot pepper (C. chinense) for high yield and high pungency

Capsicum chinense is a high-potential economic crop in the food and pharmaceutical industries due to its role as a primary source of capsaicin, a bioactive compound with significant physiological effects. However, capsaicin levels and fruit quality will be influenced by genetic factors, environmental conditions, and genetic-by-environment (G×E) interactions, leading to variability in capsaicin biosynthesis. This study will aim to analyze the impact of different environmental conditions on the growth, fruit quality, and capsaicin content of C. chinense ‘Scotch Bonnet’. The field experiments will be conducted at the demonstration plots of the Faculty of Agricultural Technology, King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, during two growing seasons: July–October (rainy season) and December–April (dry season). Four condition environments will be evaluated, and environmental parameters such as temperature, relative humidity, and light quality will be monitored to assess their effects on plant physiology and capsaicin biosynthesis. Additionally, an F1 hybrid breeding program will be established using six parental lines through a Half-diallel mating design, generating 15 hybrid combinations. The general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) will be assessed to identify promising hybrid combinations with high and stable capsaicin content and yield. The findings from this study will be expected to provide valuable insights into optimizing cultivation conditions for high-pungency chili production and supporting the development of F1 hybrid seeds with commercial viability and consistent capsaicin levels.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF WASTE SLAG DRAINAGE FLOORING MATERIALS

The objective of this research is to utilize waste slag in industrial applications and help mitigate flooding, water accumulation, and ponding issues. Currently, slag from the steel smelting or refining process is commonly used as a component in construction materials, such as road surfaces. However, slag has properties that make it difficult for water to permeate, leading to poor drainage and increased flooding problems. This study focuses on improving the properties of pavement materials to enhance their strength and water permeability. This can be achieved through physical structural modifications or the addition of chemical agents such as HPMC, which increases void spaces to facilitate water absorption and drainage according to required standards. The utilization of waste slag not only helps reduce production costs and improve material performance but also minimizes environmental impacts and promotes the sustainable use of resources.
