Website design to help graduates manage food expenses and compliance with proper nutritional principles

Abstract

With the current cost of living situation in Thailand continuously rising, many recent graduates face challenges in managing their expenses in alignment with the increasing living costs. Food expenses, even for common street food, continue to surge with no sign of decreasing, despite improvements in raw material costs. Pay-Attention is a website platform designed to help recent graduates gain insights into managing and optimizing their food expenses effectively. It provides guidance on how to spend wisely, ensuring cost-effectiveness while maintaining adequate daily nutritional intake, without falling into monotonous eating habits.

Objective

ด้วยสถานการณ์ “ค่าครองชีพ” ของประเทศไทยในปัจจุบันมีแนวโน้มพุ่งขึ้นสูงเรื่อยๆ นับตั้งแต่ ยุคหลังโควิด-19 แต่ฐานเงินเดือนและรายได้ของนักศึกษาจบใหม่ ก็ยังคงมีฐานเริ่มต้นเหมือนเดิม ไม่ต่างจากหลายปีก่อน เป็นผลทำให้ประชากรที่พึ่งสำเร็จการศึกษา ในประเทศไทยจำนวนไม่น้อย ประสบกับปัญหาเรื่องการจัดการค่าใช้จ่าย ให้สอดคล้องกับค่าครองชีพอย่างเหมาะสมในปัจจุบัน ทั้งค่าใช้จ่ายคงที่ และค่าใช้จ่ายผันแปร ที่แปรเปลี่ยนไปตามวิถีชีวิตของแต่ละคน มากน้อย ตามความต้องการและรสนิยม ซึ่งเป็นค่าใช้จ่ายที่ต้องระวังและควบคุมการใช้จ่ายอย่างมีสติเสมอโดยเฉพาะค่าใช้จ่ายเรื่องอาหารที่แม้แต่ตามสั่งทั่วไปก็พุ่งสูงขึ้นเรื่อยเรื่อยไม่มีท่าทีจะลดลงแม้ต้นทุนวัตถุดิบจะปรับปรุงก็ตาม

PRODUCTION OF PYROLYSIS OIL FROM LANDFILLED PLASTIC WASTES FOR UTILIZATION AS A RENEWABLE FUEL

The aim of experiment was to study the pyrolysis oil derived from sorted landfill plastic waste that had been buried for 15 years by the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization. The pyrolysis oil was produced using a Fixed-Bed Reactor at 450 °C for 1.5 hours with LPG as the feedstock, with the goal of using the pyrolysis oil as an alternative fuel. The experiment was conducted under four different conditions : (1) plastic waste buried in a landfill that has not been washed but has been reduced in size, (2) plastic waste buried in a landfill that has been washed and has been reduced in size, (3) plastic waste buried in a landfill that not has been washed and has not been reduced in size, (4) plastic waste buried in a landfill that has not been washed and has been reduced size, with activated carbon used as a catalyst. The experiment revealed that three products were produced : Oil, gas, and char in different quantity. The pyrolysis oil were compared in terms of quality based on pH, Heating value, Moisture content, Functional group, and Chemical Composition. The pyrolysis oil we obtained will be referenced according to the criteria from the Department of Energy Business. The analysis results of the pyrolysis can explain which conditions are suitable for replacing fuel oil in industrial It is therefore one of the approaches that helps manage plastic waste in landfills, reducing the quantity by converting it into usable energy.

Automatic Temperature and Humidity Control System for Small- Scale Household Oyster Mushroom Cultivation Houses

In the present day, interest in health and the consumption of chemical-free food has been steadily increasing, particularly in homegrown produce such as Phoenix oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus pulmonarius), which are highly nutritious and suitable for weight control. However, small-scale mushroom cultivation often faces challenges related to unsuitable environmental conditions, such as unstable temperature and humidity, which affect the growth and quality of the mushrooms. The development of an automatic temperature and humidity control system plays a crucial role in addressing these issues by utilizing sensor technology to monitor and adjust environmental conditions with precision. This helps enhance production efficiency, reduce human errors in manual control, and promote safe food production at the household level. Additionally, it helps lower production costs and supports the concept of sustainable living. The adoption of this technology is considered an important innovation in improving the quality of mushroom cultivation and increasing sustainability in food production.

The extraction of prebiotic from spent coffee grounds

Spent coffee grounds (SCG) are a byproduct of the coffee brewing process, and their quantity continues to increase due to the growing global coffee consumption. SCG contain beneficial compounds such as polysaccharides, dietary fibers, and antioxidants, which can be utilized in various applications, including prebiotic extraction. This study focuses on extracting prebiotics from SCG using acid hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis methods to evaluate their potential in promoting the growth of beneficial gut microorganisms. The expected results of this research include adding value to coffee industry waste, reducing organic waste, and providing a sustainable approach to developing prebiotic products for use in the food and health industries. Furthermore, this study aligns with sustainable resource utilization and environmentally friendly practices.
