This study comparatively investigated the physicochemical, structural, and rheological properties of xyloglucan extracted from sweet (Sri Chomphu) and sour (Kradan) tamarind kernel (TKP) cultivated in Thailand to provide insights for industrial applications. The extraction yields were 58.35 ± 0.28% and 57.90 ± 0.37% (w/w) for sweet and sour TKP, respectively. Chemical composition analysis revealed comparable macronutrient profiles between the two samples. FTIR spectra confirmed similar functional groups, while SEM analysis showed amorphous and heterogeneous structures with slight differences in porosity. Molecular weight distribution indicated that sour TKP-derived xyloglucan was dominated by intermediate molecular weight fractions (4.03 × 10⁵ Da, 70.46%), whereas sweet TKP-derived xyloglucan exhibited a broader distribution. These structural differences influenced hydration properties, with sweet xyloglucan showing significantly higher water absorption and solubility (%WAI: 475.02 ± 9.91%; %WSI: 5.62 ± 0.62%) compared to sour xyloglucan (%WAI: 398.81 ± 7.01%; %WSI: 4.81 ± 0.57%). Evaluation of gelling properties revealed that both samples exhibited maximum gel strength at 2% concentration and pH 3, with sour xyloglucan forming stronger gels. Rheological analysis demonstrated non-Newtonian pseudoplastic behavior and dominant elastic characteristics (G′ ' G″), with higher viscosity observed in the sour cultivar. Emulsifying activity and stability were high and showed no significant differences (EA: 93.58–94.87%; ES: 97.94–98.71%). Overall, while cultivar origin had minimal impact on structural and emulsifying properties, it significantly influenced hydration and gelling-related characteristics, supporting the potential of tamarind xyloglucan as a versatile hydrocolloid for food and material applications.

Preparation of activated carbon from juvenile durian fruit by activation with KMnO4 for methylene blue adsorption was studied. The juvenile durian fruit was pyrolyzed at temperatures of 400, 450, 500, 550, and 600 °C and activated with KMnO4. The results demonstrated that the carbonization at 600 °C yielded the highest iodine number of 298.30 mgiodine/gbiochar. Subsequently, the methylene blue adsorption was investigated using a Box-Behnken designed batch experiment. The experimental design included three variables at three levels: adsorbent dosage (g), initial methylene blue concentration (mg/L), and adsorption time (min). The optimum conditions for methylene blue adsorption efficiency reached approximately 99.9% at an adsorbent dosage of 0.55 g, an initial methylene blue concentration of 10 mg/L, and an adsorption time of 90 min.

This study aimed to develop intelligent packaging films by, incorporating extracted betalain (EB) from dragon fruit peel into a tamarind seed kernel xyloglucan and chitosan blend (XC). The film were comprehensively characterized for their chemical, physical, mechanical, antimicrobial, and functional properties. Zeta potential and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed that the interaction between xyloglucan, chitosan, and betalain were governed by ionic interactions and hydrogen bonding, which stabilized the colloidal network and influenced film microstructure. Increasing betalain concentration enhance film thickness and color intensity with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealing uniform surface morphology. Mechanical testing demonstrated that film with a 1:5 (w/v) EB:EC ratio achieved optimal performance balancing tensile strength (22.35 ± 2.25 MPa) and an elongation at break (185.07 ± 4.42 %). The films exhibited suitable barrier properties, with water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) and water vapor peameability (WVP) aligning with food packaging requirements. Antimicrobial assay revealed good activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, while ammonia sensitivity test demonstrated the ability of film to detect spoilage via visible colorimetric shifts, correlating with total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N) levels in shrimp. This study highlight the potential of XC-EB films as sustainable, intelligent packaging solutions for monitoring the protein-rich food freshness, leveraging agricultural byproduct to enhance food safety and reduce waste.

This study investigated the stability of chitosan-incorporated tamarind seed kernel xyloglucan hydrogels prepared at different ratios after storage for three years. The physical hydrogel samples were studied using ratios of xyloglucan to chitosan between 1.5:1 and 4:1, comparing fresh hydrogel with hydrogel stored for three years. The hydrogels were analyzed for Fourier transform infrared characteristics, rheological behavior, flow rate, and zeta potential. After three years of storage, a reversible reaction was confirmed by C-H molecular stretching using Fourier transform infrared. All hydrogel samples exhibited pseudoplastic fluid characteristics with liquid-like behavior. The zeta potential of fresh hydrogel at 1.5:1 and 4:1 ratios was 27.700 ± 0.964 mV and 22.633 ± 0.929 mV, respectively, whereas after three years, it became 28.067 ± 1.106 mV and 18.867 ± 0.503 mV, respectively. The amount of xyloglucan significantly affected the zeta potential of the xyloglucan-chitosan hydrogel, leading to a decrease in the stability of the hydrogel at a 4:1 ratio. The stability of the hydrogel at a ratio of 1.5:1 was confirmed by pH and zeta potential measurements. In conclusion, the properties and behavior of the xyloglucan-chitosan hydrogel remained stable after three years of storage at a 1.5:1 ratio.

In this study, Chitosan-Xyloglucan encapsulated Titanium dioxide was prepared by in-situ method for coating Silk fabric. FT-IR XRD characterized the functional groups and formation of crystallization of composite film. SEM analysis showed the immobilization of composite film on the surface of silk fabric. The coated silk fabrics were stained with methylene blue, and the stain removal efficiency was evaluated. The results showed that the composite film was deposited onto the silk fabric. The functional groups showed peaks around 1635 to 1636 and 400 to 500 cm-1 that indicate the presence of C=N groups of Chitosan-Xyloglucan and Ti-O groups of TiO<inf>2</inf> on the composite, respectively. The XRD results indicated that the TiO<inf>2</inf> prepared by the sol-gel method was an anatase crystalline structure. The mechanical properties showed the composite film was superior to the Chitosan-Xyloglucan, TiO<inf>2</inf>, and uncoated silk fabric. Finally, the methylene blue degradation capability was investigated. The coated silk fabric has insignificantly removing methylene blue stain than the untreated silk fabric, but it is noticeably repellent to stain.

Xyloglucan from tamarind seed kernel powder and chitosan were prepared using acetic acid as an oxidizing agent to form a xyloglucan-chitosan film. This study evaluated the properties of xyloglucan-chitosan films with different loading ratios of xyloglucan using various analytical tools. The covalent bonds formed by the oxidized xyloglucan and chitosan were confirmed by FTIR analysis. Morphological analysis using SEM indicated the formation of a conventional covalent bond in the xyloglucan-chitosan film. The water vapor transmission rate in the xyloglucan-chitosan film was reduced significantly with increasing xyloglucan ratio. Conversely, the increase in the xyloglucan ratio improved the film's mechanical properties (tensile strength = 1.84 ± 0.06<sup>a</sup> MPa, elongation at break = 22.47 ± 0.65<sup>a</sup> %). Furthermore, due to the antimicrobial activity of chitosan, the xyloglucan-chitosan film exhibits intense antimicrobial activity. Therefore, the xyloglucan-chitosan film demonstrated good properties for biodegradable food packaging.

The preparation and characterization of purified cellulose from bamboo shoot shell were studied using fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The preparation of cellulose fiber included extraction of cellulose from bamboo shoot shell by treatment with 5 % NaOH and 4 % H2O2, and purification of cellulose fiber using hydrothermal technique. The result showed that cellulose has been successfully extracted at a 32.56% yield by the 5% NaOH / 4% H2O2 treatment, and the purified cellulose was produced using autoclaving at the temperature of 120°C and pressure at 0.1 MPa for 2 h 5 min, with the % recovery of purified cellulose around 94.08. Bamboo shoot shell and cellulose sample were further characterized using FTIR technique. It was found that the 5% NaOH / 4% H2O2 treatment eliminated lignin and hemicellulose from bamboo shoot shell but did not affect cellulose. The hydrothermal technique did not affect the destruction of the cellulose structure as well. Comparison of the SEM image showed that cellulose was separated into individual microfibers after the 5% NaOH / 4% H2O2 treatment while the SEM image of purified cellulose was the small thread-like fibers with smoother surface. Therefore, hydrothermal treatment can be performed for purification of cellulose.

Ammonia is an essential waste from fish and shrimp which has an effect on fish and shrimp transportation for export. This study aimed to remove ammonia by Activated Carbon adsorption. The activated carbon was prepared from Tamarind pulp using different methods (NaOH, H2SO4, the hydrothermal technique and activated by H2SO4 and H2SO4 hydrothermal followed by NaOH). The Activated Carbon was characterized by and Iodine number and Fourier Transform I nfrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The results showed that the iodine number of activated carbon prepared by the hydrothermal technique and activated by H2SO4 have the highest surface area and porosity at 537 mg/g, and the functional group on activated carbon surface is carbonyl and sulfonyl group. For ammonia adsorption, the experiments were designed by Box-Behnken design at 3 factors 3 levels including Contact time (10, 95 and 180 min), Dosage of activated carbon (0.5, 1.25 and 2.0 g) and pH of the solution (2, 6.5 and 11). The concentration of ammonia was determined by UV-Visible spectrophotometer. The result showed that the main effects and the interaction effects were found significant effect on ammonia adsorption at confidence level of 95%. However, the interaction effects between contact time and activated carbon dosage was insignificant. Finally, the optimized results suggested that 48.32 ± 0.82% of ammonia concentration could be removed by activated carbon from tamarind pulp under the following conditions: PH of 11, a contact time of 95 min, and activated carbon dosage of 2 g/100 mL. The results are believed to be of importance to fish and shrimp transportation for reduced ammonia and other similar applications.
