This experiment aimed to study the suitable types of polymers for coating with chlorophyll extract and the quality of cucumber seeds after coating. The experiment was planned using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replications, consisting of five methods involving seeds coated with different types of polymers: Polyvinylpyrrolidone, Sodium Alginate, Carboxy Methyl Cellulose, and Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, each polymer being coated alongside chlorophyll, with uncoated seeds serving as the control method. The coating substance was prepared by extracting chlorophyll from mango leaves, then mixed with each type of polymer at a concentration of 1%, using an 8% concentration of chlorophyll extract. The properties of each coating method, such as pH and viscosity of the coating substance, were examined before coating the cucumber seeds with a rotary disk coater model RRC150 at a coating rate of 1,100 milliliters per 1 kilogram of seeds. Subsequently, the seeds were dried to reach the initial moisture level using a hot air blower, and seed quality was assessed in various aspects, including seed moisture, germination rate under laboratory conditions, germination index, and seed fluorescence under a portable ultraviolet light illuminator, as well as light emission spectrum analysis using a Spectrophotometer. The experiment found that each type of polymer could be used to form a film together with chlorophyll, which had appropriate pH and viscosity for the coating without affecting seed quality and showed fluorescence on the seed surface both under portable ultraviolet light and spectral emission analysis with a Spectrophotometer. Using HPMC as the film-forming agent with chlorophyll was the most suitable method, enhancing seed fluorescence efficiency.

Mulberry Kefir is a fermented drink made from ripe mulberry fruit, made from ripe mulberry juice. Its pinkish-red color is the color of the natural anthocyanin in mulberries. Anthocyanins have antioxidant properties and contain the prebiotic fructo-oligosaccharides, the probiotic microorganisms Lactobacillus and Saccharomeces. It has a sweet and sour taste, is fizzy and has a little alcohol. The taste and fizz come from production technology, which uses a fermentation process from microorganisms. Mulberry kefir is considered a functional beverage made from plants (Plant Based Beverage), suitable for people who are lactose intolerant and those who do not consume beverages made from milk. It makes you feel refreshed after drinking it.

This research project aims to study and develop a metaverse system for tourism in Horklong Subdistrict, Phitsanulok Province. The primary goal is to create a prototype metaverse system that showcases the cultural and historical tourist attractions in Horklong Subdistrict through virtual reality technology. This will help promote tourism in rural areas that are not yet widely known and enhance the modern promotion of tourist attractions in the province. The development of the metaverse system in this project utilizes virtual reality technology to simulate the experience of touring Horklong Subdistrict via a virtual boat ride. Users will be able to access the system through the Unity platform, which is a tool used to develop 3D and VR applications. The system is designed to allow users to choose to ride a virtual boat and visit various places that have been creatively recreated in a virtual format. These locations are designed and developed using 3D models based on real data collected from the Horklong Subdistrict area. This project is therefore an initiative to sustainably promote cultural and historical tourism in Phitsanulok Province. It has the potential to increase income for local communities as well as to disseminate local knowledge and wisdom to a broader audience. The metaverse system for tourism in Horklong Subdistrict is thus an important project in modernizing the province’s tourism sector and attracting more visitors, both domestically and internationally.

This study aimed to evaluate the optimal edible coating formulation for 'Namdokmai Sithong' mangoes by incorporating 10% gum arabic (GA) with mangosteen peel extract (MPE) at varying concentrations (1%, 3%, and 5%), compared to a control treatment (distilled water). The coated fruits were stored at room temperature for 14 days, and their physicochemical properties were assessed. The findings indicate that the application of GA (10%) combined with MPE effectively mitigated color changes in mango flesh, suppressed disease incidence, and preserved fruit firmness. Additionally, the coating significantly delayed alterations in total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), vitamin C content, carotenoid levels, and phenolic compounds. Among the tested formulations, GA (10%) + MPE (1%) exhibited the highest efficacy in extending shelf life, maintaining fruit quality, and enhancing surface gloss.

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.

Banana Blossom Chips is a healthy snack rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, and plant-based protein. It is a result of combining local Thai ingredients: banana blossoms, which are high in dietary fiber and antioxidants, chickpea flour, a source of plant-based protein, and red jasmine brown rice, which has a low GI value and high antioxidants. It is processed to create crispiness and a unique shape, reduces fat, is gluten-free, and helps maintain nutritional value. Therefore, it is a new alternative for health-conscious consumers and adds value to Thai agricultural products.
