Item type:Publication, Antimicrobial film from jackfruit waste powder incorporating clove and ginger essential oils and its application in food packaging(2026-06-01) ;Nimitr, Ronakit ;Eamsiriluck, Phutthipong ;Purba, Daniel Tua; Krusong, WarawutBioactive composite films were developed utilizing a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and jackfruit waste powder (JK PW) matrix, functionalized with either ginger (JK PW–GEO) or clove essential oil (JK PW–CEO). Structural characterization indicated that the essential oils were chemically anchored to the polymer matrix via intermolecular hydrogen bonding, facilitating the formation of a cohesive micro-composite architecture. These chemical interactions significantly enhanced thermal stability; notably, JK PW–GEO films exhibited superior thermal resistance (limiting mass loss to 9 % within the 180–260 °C range) compared to JK PW–CEO films (∼14 % loss). This stability is attributed to the robust retention of non-volatile gingerols within the hydrogen-bonded network, as confirmed by HS-GC–MS/MS analysis. Regarding functional bioactivity, distinct performance profiles were observed: JK PW–CEO films demonstrated exceptional antioxidant capacity (334.75 mg GAE/g; 90.62 % DPPH radical scavenging), whereas JK PW–GEO films exhibited broader antimicrobial efficacy, particularly against resistant bacterial strains such as Bacillus subtilis and Salmonella enterica . In practical application trials, both film formulations effectively extended the shelf life of bread and fresh poultry by mitigating microbial proliferation and suppressing spoilage odors. Sensory evaluation confirmed that the films maintained desirable olfactory profiles, thereby enhancing the perceived quality of the packaged products. Collectively, this study establishes that JK PW-based composites offer a sustainable avenue for active packaging, wherein ginger oil provides superior thermal and antimicrobial stability, while clove oil delivers potent antioxidant protection. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Technoeconomic analysis of biofuel production from spent coffee grounds using supercritical ethyl acetate(2026-03-01) ;Supang, Wirasinee ;Ngamprasertsith, Somkiat; Sawangkeaw, RuengwitThis study is a techno-economic analysis of biodiesel production from spent coffee grounds (SCGs) using ethyl acetate as an extracting solvent and a reactant through interesterification under supercritical conditions—a process called SCEA. Aspen Plus V12 was employed to simulate the SCEA process compared to the conventional biodiesel production process. Both processes operated at an original feed rate of 24,225 tonnes per year, but the production capacities of the conventional and SCEA processes were 1000 tonnes per year and 1800 tonnes per year, respectively. Because of the simplicity of SCEA, the fixed capital investment costs were lower than those of the conventional process. However, at the original feed rate, neither process was profitable within a project lifetime of 20 years. The production capacity of SCEA was increased to 4 times, 8 times, and 16 times its original size to identify the most effective scale for the production facility. The SCEA process commenced successfully with a production capacity of 7500 tonnes per year, but the payback period of 19.5 years was deemed unsatisfactory. The production capacities of 15,000 tonnes per year and 30,000 tonnes per year provided the payback periods of 7.67 years and 6.08 years, respectively. Nonetheless, the 15,000-ton plant requires 193,798 tonnes SCGs per year as feedstock, which is 12 times the annual coffee production in Thailand. Hence, this project is well-suited for large coffee producers when utilizing SCGs as a singular feedstock. Combining other feedstocks, such as microalgae, non-edible seeds, and waste fruit seeds, with SCGs presents an optional pathway for future research on biodiesel production. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Aqueous Extracts of Lemon Basil Straw as Chemical Stimulator for Gray Oyster Mushroom Cultivation(2022-05-01) ;Chanprapai, Pragatsawat ;Wichai, Thanaporn ;Sooksai, Sarintip ;Noitang, SajeeSukaead, WeradajTo reduce the burning of lemon basil straw (LBS)—the byproduct of basil seed production— we propose utilizing LBS as a replacement substrate for mushroom cultivation. LBS can stimulate both mycelial growth and percentage biological efficiency; however, the rigidity of this material limits particle size reduction. In this work, aqueous extractions were facilely performed without using either hazardous chemicals or complex procedures to valorize LBS as a stimulator for gray oyster mushroom cultivation. An aqueous extraction at solid-to-liquid of 50 g/L was employed. The macerated-LBS and decocted-LBS extracts were tested for mycelial growth in potato dextrose agar and sorghum grains. Following this, both aqueous extracts were applied as a wetting agent in cylindrical baglog cultivation to estimate mycelial growth, biological efficiency, and productivity. It was found that LBS extracts insignificantly enhanced the mycelia growth rate on all media, while the diluted LBS (1:1 v/v) extracts improved 1.5-fold of percentage biological efficiency. Gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer results indicated 9-octadecaenamide is a major component in LBS aqueous extract. Results demonstrated that the LBS extract is a good stimulator for the production of Pleurotus mushroom.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Pressurized hot water extraction of crude polysaccharides, β-glucan, and phenolic compounds from dried gray oyster mushroom(2022-10-01); ;Arnutpongchai, Panisara ;Phonsavat, Supasuta; Sawangkeaw, RuengwitThis study aimed to investigate the effects of temperature (100 °C–140 °C), pressure (0.4–1.0 MPa), and extraction time (20–60 min) on the extraction yield of crude polysaccharides, β-glucan, and total phenolic compounds with pressurized hot water extraction of gray oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus sajor-caju (Fr.) Singer). The extraction conditions were optimized by maximizing all responses, using a central composite design (CCD)-based response surface methodology. Temperature mainly affected the increase in the extracted yield and phenolic content. However, exceeded temperature and extraction time negatively affected the β-glucan yield. The optimal extraction conditions were at 140 °C, 0.92 MPa, and 40 min with a corresponding extraction yield of 3.20 ± 0.17 g/100 g, as well as β-glucan and total phenolic contents of 43.84 ± 3.86 mg/100 g and 8.49 ± 0.66 mg gallic acid equivalent/100 g dried extract, respectively. The antioxidant activities of extracts were estimated by in vitro biological assays. The SC<inf>50</inf> values of DPPH, NO, and ABTS assays were 1.66 ± 0.02, 1.50 ± 0.19, and 6.94 ± 1.04 mg/mL, respectively. This work demonstrates an alternative approach to valorize over-produced mushrooms.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Biodiesel production from spent coffee grounds via ethanolic extraction and supercritical ethanol transesterification: technoeconomic analysis and life cycle assessment(2026-01-01) ;Supang, Wirasinee ;Ngamprasertsith, Somkiat ;Nimmanterdwong, Prathana; Hunsub, PanusornPrevious studies have developed biodiesel production methods from spent coffee grounds (SCGs) via ethanolic extraction and supercritical ethanol transesterification (EE-SET) to minimize the energy consumption associated with solvent evaporation. In this study, we perform a technoeconomic analysis (TEA) and a life cycle assessment (LCA) to evaluate the profitability and sustainability of EE-SET. The material and energy balances in the TEA and LCA were derived from Aspen Plus<sup>®</sup> V12 based on experimental data from previous research. The results from the base case indicated that EE-SET was unprofitable and posed a considerable environmental burden by disposing of defatted SCG (DSCG) as solid waste due to two main issues. First, the amount of DSCG was 4.8 times greater than the total biodiesel and glycerol produced. Second, landfilling DSCG incurred waste treatment costs and induced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions simultaneously. Selling DSCG as a feedstock for solid fuel pellets offers an effective strategy for achieving profitability and sustainability. As such, EE-SET addresses the economic drawback of generating profit from selling DSCG while reducing waste treatment costs. Using DSCG as a solid fuel for environmental benefits increases ash disposal credit and substantially reduces GHG emissions. The incorporation of pelletizing units or biomass power plants into EE-SET represents a promising avenue for future research.4 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Effects of temperature and pressure on volatile compounds of black cumin seeds (Nigella sativa L.) oil extracted by supercritical carbon dioxide(2025-01-01); ;Sakulkittiyut, Buntita ;Ngamprasertsith, Somkiat ;Supang, WirasineeSawangkeaw, RuengwitThis study investigated the effects of temperature and pressure on the yield and volatile compound contents of black cumin seed oil (BCO) extracted from black cumin seeds using supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO<inf>2</inf>). The solubility of BCO in SCCO<inf>2</inf> increased 2.5-fold as the pressure increased by 10 MPa. Major volatile compounds in BCO were identified using a static headspace gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (SH–GC–MS). Evidence indicated the main volatile components in SCCO<inf>2</inf>-extracted BCO to be hexanal, p-cymene, and thymoquinone. BCO extracted from China-cultivated black cumin seed contained similar amounts of p-cymene and thymoquinone. This black cumin seed is classified as the cymene/thymoquinone chemotype and is also found in Indian, Iranian, and Algerian black cumin seeds. Thymoquinone contents in BCO were more sensitive to the extraction temperature than hexanal and p-cymene contents. The maximum oil yield of 36.28 ± 1.38 wt%, with approximately 2.0 mg of thymoquinone per milliliter of oil, was obtained at extraction temperatures of 50°C and pressures of 30 MPa. A SH–GC–MS could detect small molecules in black cumin seed oil such as hexanal. The results of this work reveal that temperature has more impact on the selectivity of volatile compounds than pressure in supercritical carbon dioxide extraction.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Supercritical reaction between methanol and glycerol: The effects of reaction products on biodiesel properties(2021-12-01); ;Ngamprasertsith, Somkiat ;Saengsuk, PongraweeSawangkeaw, RuengwitThis work investigated the supercritical reaction between glycerol and supercritical methanol (SCM) in non-catalytic biodiesel production process. Glycerol is a by-product of biodiesel production that could react with SCM, producing glycerol ethers (GEs). Simultaneous conversion of triglycerides and glycerol in SCM is promising to reduce the glycerol surplus. These GEs are completely miscible with biodiesel and work as fuel enhancer. In a batch reactor, the glycerol reaction with SCM was investigated between 325 °C and 400 °C. The methanol-to-glycerol molar ratios and reaction time were varied from 3:1 to 9:1 and 8 min to 12 min, respectively. It was observed that the reactions of glycerol and SCM were etherification, dehydration, and thermal decomposition of glycerol. At molar ratios of 3:1 and 6:1, the temperature and reaction time significantly enhanced the glycerol conversion, especially by the thermal decomposition reaction. The increasing methanol-to-glycerol molar ratios reduced the overall glycerol conversion. The maximum glycerol conversion of 46.40% was observed at reaction temperature of 400 °C, methanol-to-glycerol molar ratio of 3:1, and reaction time of 12 min. Besides, the effects of GEs-to-neat biodiesel (B100) volumetric ratios on the fuel properties were investigated. The blending of GEs positively improved the viscosity and cloud point, whereas it had no impact on the heating value and flash point.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Effects of reactor loading and solvent addition on catalyst-free glycerolysis of palm oil(2021-01-01) ;Phichaion, Ittirit ;Sawangkaew, Ruengwit; Ngamprasertsith, SomkiatGlycerol is a by-product of biodiesel production. Every three moles of biodiesel produced, glycerol is released in one mole, which is around 10 wt.% of the total products. The crude glycerol from supercritical transesterification has a higher purity than that from alkaline transesterification. Monoglyceride is an anionic surfactant widely used in many applications. In this work, the glycerolysis reaction of palm oil and glycerol was studied using isopropanol as the solvent. The investigated important parameters in this study were reaction time in range of 30-150 minutes, reactor loading in range of 40-80 %, and molar ratio of isopropanol to glycerol to palm oil in range of 0-30. The glycerol to palm oil molar ratio was constant at 5 to 1. The results showed that parameters affected conversions and yields were reactor loading and solvent addition. The highest monoglyceride yield, 37.4%, was obtained at 260 °C in 150 minutes and 40 % of reactor loading. Molar ratio of glycerol to palm oil to isopropanol is 5:1:15. A central composite design (CCD) of 48 experiments investigated the effects on monoglyceride content (%MG) of temperature (220 to 260 °C), reaction duration (30 to 150 min), and molar ratio of IPA to palm oil (0:1 to 30:1). The %MG was substantially and statistically significantly enhanced (p < 0.0001) at higher temperatures and longer reaction duration. An analysis of variance confirmed that the molar ratio of IPA to palm oil had a much less significant effect (p = 0.0255) on %MG. The crude glycerol obtained from a biodiesel production plant was compared with pure glycerol at the optimal condition. A %MG of 46.58% was observed using crude glycerol as reactant because of the yield-limiting effects of water in crude glycerol.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Production of Coffee oil and Bioactive Peptides from Spent Coffee Grounds via Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Extraction and Enzymatic Hydrolysis(2024-04-01) ;Hunsub, Panusorn ;Ponmana, Kanokporn ;Ngamprasertsith, Somkiat; Karnchanatat, AphichartSupercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO<inf>2</inf>) extraction was applied for recovering non-polar compounds in spent coffee grounds (SCGs) before enzymatic hydrolysis was performed. The SCCO<inf>2</inf> extracted oil yield of 11.93 wt% was observed at 30 MPa and 50 °C. The detectable volatile compounds in SCGs oil were aldehydes and flavor compounds classified as furans. Although the degree of hydrolysis of SCGs and defatted SCGs (DFSCGs) were not significantly different, the soluble protein of DFSCGs was higher than that of SCGs. Electrophoretic profiles of SCGs and DFSCGs comprise polypeptide bands at < 20 and ~ 24 kDa, which are mainly derived from 11S globulin subunits. After hydrolysis, the molecular masses of 4–20 and 24 kDa were virtually eliminated, thus releasing polypeptides with molecular masses < 4 kDa. Furthermore, the DFSCGs hydrolysate had higher total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity than that of SCGs hydrolysate. Pretreatment of SCGs with SCCO<inf>2</inf> enhances enzymatic accessibility, improves the quality of protein hydrolysate, and procures SCGs oil as a by-product.

Item type:Publication, Effects of Defatting Pretreatment on Polysaccharide Extraction from Rambutan Seeds Using Subcritical Water: Optimization Using the Desirability Approach(2024-07-01) ;Nilmat, Kamonthip ;Hunsub, Panusorn ;Ngamprasertsith, Somkiat; Karnchanatat, AphichartRambutan seeds are by-products generated from fruit-processing factories; the leftover seeds are buried in landfills, generating methane emissions. This work aimed to extract polysaccharides (POLS) from rambutan seeds by using subcritical water extraction (SWE). The effects of defatting pretreatment and operating parameters in SWE were investigated using a Box–Behnken design. The results show that defatting pretreatment significantly enriched the POLS yield, while it had no significant effect on the total sugar content. Using the desirability approach, the suitable feedstock for SWE was defatted rambutan seeds. The maximum desirability of 0.86 was found at a temperature range of 145–150 °C, an extraction time of 15 min, and a liquid–solid ratio of 10:1. The POLS yield and total sugar content were in the range of 52.33–55.63 g/100 g feedstock and 83.37–87.45 g/100 g POLS, respectively. The extracted POLS had an equivalent molecular weight of 413.70 kDa that could be used as an extender in plant-based products. In conclusion, the defatting pretreatment of rambutan seeds not only improved the POLS yield obtained via SWE but also generated additional lipids that could be utilized as an unconventional source of specialty fat.2
