Optimizing γ -aminobutyric acid (GABA) Production in Pineapple Juice Fermentation.

This research aims to optimize the production process of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in fermented pineapple juice using probiotics and acetic acid bacteria (AAB), which are microorganisms with the potential to enhance GABA levels. This process has been developed to improve the nutritional value of fermented pineapple juice and to increase the economic value of Thai pineapples, which have long suffered from low market prices. This study focuses on determining the optimal conditions for GABA production by examining factors such as sugar content, pH levels, fermentation duration, and L-glutamate concentration, as well as the co-cultivation of probiotics and acetic acid bacteria. The experiments are conducted using controlled fermentation techniques, and the bioactive components of the fermented juice are analyzed with advanced instruments such as HPLC and GC-MS. The findings of this research are expected to contribute to the development of formulations and production processes for a high-GABA pineapple-based functional beverage. This product could offer health benefits such as stress reduction, cognitive function enhancement, and relaxation while also strengthening the potential of Thailand’s fermented food and beverage industry.

SignGen: An LLM-Based Thai Sign Language Generator

The Thai Sign Language Generation System aims to create a comprehensive 3D modeling and animation platform that translates Thai sentences into dynamic and accurate representations of Thai Sign Language (TSL) gestures. This project enhances communication for the Thai deaf community by leveraging a landmark-based approach using a Vector Quantized Variational Autoencoder (VQVAE) and a Large Language Model (LLM) for sign language generation. The system first trains a VQVAE encoder using landmark data extracted from sign videos, allowing it to learn compact latent representations of TSL gestures. These encoded representations are then used to generate additional landmark-based sign sequences, effectively expanding the training dataset using the BigSign ThaiPBS dataset. Once the dataset is augmented, an LLM is trained to output accurate landmark sequences from Thai text inputs, which are then used to animate a 3D model in Blender, ensuring fluid and natural TSL gestures. The project is implemented using Python, incorporating MediaPipe for landmark extraction, OpenCV for real-time image processing, and Blender’s Python API for 3D animation. By integrating AI, VQVAE-based encoding, and LLM-driven landmark generation, this system aspires to bridge the communication gap between written Thai text and expressive TSL gestures, providing the Thai deaf community with an interactive, real-time sign language animation platform.
