Study of the physical properties of plant-based burger from chickpea and red bean

Abstract

In recent years, many people have shown greater interest in plant-based proteins because of their health benefits and lower impact on the environment. This study will look at the physical and chemical properties of chickpeas and red beans. It will also create a plant-based burger that tastes and feels similar to meat-based burgers while providing comparable nutrition. We will steam the ingredients and then analyze important properties such as texture, color, water activity (aW), pH, and how well they retain water and oil. Additionally, we will conduct a sensory evaluation to understand consumer preferences.

Objective

ในปัจจุบัน แพลนเบส (Plant-based) หรือโปรตีนจากพืชได้รับความสนใจมากขึ้น เนื่องจากมีประโยชน์ต่อสุขภาพและช่วยลดผลกระทบต่อสิ่งแวดล้อม เมื่อเทียบกับโปรตีนจากเนื้อสัตว์ ซึ่งมีการปล่อยก๊าซเรือนกระจกสูงและใช้ทรัพยากรมาก เช่น น้ำและที่ดิน อย่างไรก็ตาม การผลิตเนื้อสัตว์บางประเภท เช่น โค อาจมีข้อดีต่อระบบนิเวศบางด้านพืชตระกูลถั่ว เป็นแหล่งโปรตีนจากพืชที่สำคัญ เพราะมีคุณค่าทางโภชนาการสูงและช่วยลดการใช้ปุ๋ยเคมีโดยการตรึงไนโตรเจน นอกจากนี้ การบริโภค เบอร์เกอร์จากพืช ยังช่วยลดระดับคอเลสเตอรอล ลดความเสี่ยงต่อโรคหัวใจ เบาหวาน และมะเร็งลำไส้ใหญ่ เนื่องจากมีไขมันอิ่มตัวต่ำและเส้นใยอาหารสูงในด้าน ความยั่งยืน การลดการบริโภคเนื้อสัตว์และหันมาใช้พืชตระกูลถั่วในผลิตภัณฑ์ทดแทนเนื้อ เช่น เบอร์เกอร์จาก ถั่วลูกไก่ และถั่วแดง สามารถช่วยลดผลกระทบต่อสิ่งแวดล้อมได้การวิจัยนี้ มุ่งเน้นศึกษาคุณสมบัติทางกายภาพและเคมีของถั่วทั้ง 2 ชนิด รวมถึงการพัฒนาสูตร เบอร์เกอร์เนื้อเทียม เพื่อให้มีรสชาติ เนื้อสัมผัส และคุณค่าทางโภชนาการที่ใกล้เคียงกับเนื้อสัตว์ และตอบโจทย์กลุ่มผู้บริโภคที่ต้องการลดการบริโภคเนื้อสัตว์

COSTS RETURNS OF RICE CULTIVATION USING CHEMICAL PESTICIDES AND RICE CULTIVATION USING BIOPRODUCTS IN COMBINATION WITH CHEMICAL PESTICIDES BY FARMERS IN BANG PHLI NOI SUBDISTRICT BANG BO DISTRICT SAMUT PRAKAN PROVINCE

During this cooperative education program at the Bang Bo District Agricultural Office, Samut Prakan Province, a study was conducted on the costs and returns of rice cultivation using chemical inputs compared to using biopesticides in combination with chemical inputs among farmers in Bang Phli Noi Subdistrict, Bang Bo District, Samut Prakan Province.The objectives of this study were: To examine the costs and returns of rice cultivation using chemical inputs compared to using biopesticides in combination with chemical inputs among farmers in Bang Phli Noi Subdistrict, Bang Bo District, Samut Prakan Province. To explore the challenges of using biopesticides in rice cultivation among farmers in Bang Phli Noi Subdistrict, Bang Bo District, Samut Prakan Province. The study found that in the 2024/25 growing season, the total production cost for rice cultivation using biopesticides in combination with chemical inputs was 5,099.50 THB per rai, consisting of variable costs of 4,432.50 THB per rai and fixed costs of 667.00 THB per rai. Meanwhile, the total production cost for rice cultivation using only chemical inputs was 5,129.00 THB per rai, consisting of variable costs of 4,390.00 THB per rai and fixed costs of 739.00 THB per rai. The cost difference between the two methods was 114.50 THB per rai. Regarding the returns on rice cultivation in the 2024/25 growing season, the field using biopesticides in combination with chemical inputs yielded 1,000.00 kilograms per rai, with an average selling price of 8,500.00 THB per rai. Farmers earned a total revenue of 8,585.00 THB per rai and a profit of 3,485.50 THB per rai. On the other hand, the field using only chemical inputs yielded 1,000.00 kilograms per rai, with an average selling price of 8,500.00 THB per rai. Farmers earned a total revenue of 8,500.00 THB per rai and a profit of 3,371.00 THB per rai. The total income difference between the two cultivation methods was 114.50 THB per rai. In terms of challenges related to the procurement of biopesticides, it was found that biopesticides are difficult to obtain, with limited or no availability in certain areas. Additionally, relevant agencies do not provide continuous support for biopesticides, making this the most significant issue. Regarding the use of biopesticides, the most critical challenge is that once fresh biopesticides are mixed, they must be used immediately and cannot be stored, as their effectiveness deteriorates over time.

The Development of Hand Gesture Recognition for Controlling Electronic Devices

This research will begin with a review of literature and related studies to examine existing technologies and methods for hand gesture recognition and their applications in controlling electronic devices such as drones, robots, and gaming systems. Subsequently, a hand gesture recognition system will be designed and developed using machine learning and computer vision techniques, with a focus on creating an algorithm that operates quickly and accurately, making it suitable for real-time control. The developed system will be tested and refined using various simulated scenarios to evaluate its efficiency and accuracy in diverse environments. Additionally, a user-friendly interface will be developed to ensure accessibility for all user groups. The research will also incorporate qualitative studies to gather feedback from both novice users and experts, which will contribute to further system improvements, ensuring it effectively meets user needs. Ultimately, the findings of this research will lead to the development of a functional prototype for gesture-based control, which can be applied in industries and entertainment. This will contribute to advancements in innovation and new technologies in the future.

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.
