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. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, CFD prediction of mixing performance for circular and non-circular jet mixing tanksOur previous CFD predictions of the circular, elliptic, and square jet mixing tanks were re-analyzed to investigate the highest performance jet mixing tank design and the appropriate mixing performance criterion. So, the mixing performance indicated by overall mixing time and maximum mixing time criteria of these jet mixing tanks was compared. These CFD predictions were carefully developed by using our previous reliable jet mixing tank CFD model. For model validation, reasonable agreement between the predicted mixing times and measurements was observed. The results revealed that circular and non-circular jet flow phenomena were significantly different in the near field jet regions. Further, the elliptic jet mixing tank provided the highest mixing performance because of its highest entrainment and turbulence kinetic energy near the jet boundary. Finally, it can be concluded that the maximum mixing time criterion is a suitable mixing performance indicator. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
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, Simultaneous extraction of crude polysaccharides, soluble proteins, gingerols, and shogaols from dried ginger by subcritical water extraction(2025-06-01); ;Kaomaneechot, Sunanta ;Lasim, Sarida; Subcritical water extraction (SWE) is a remarkable method for the simultaneous extraction of high- and low-polarity bioactive compounds from ginger. This study investigated the effects of temperature, pressure, and extraction time on the crude polysaccharide yield, protein content, total phenolic content (TPC), and amounts of 6-gingerol and 6-shogaol. The pressure was maintained at 30 bars, and the temperature and extraction time were optimized to maximize the polysaccharide yield, protein, TPC, gingerols, and shogaols contents. The rising temperatures (100–160 °C) and extended extraction times (10–50 min) enhanced the yield and TPC but negatively affected protein stability, leading to thermal degradation when the temperature surpassed 180 °C. Specifically, the content of 6-gingerol decreased at high temperatures because of its conversion into 6-shogaol. The optimal extraction conditions were 160 °C for 40 min at 30 bars, resulting in a polysaccharide yield of 8.54 %, protein content of 100.35 mg body surface area/g dry mass, TPC of 18.10 mg Galic acid (GA)/g dry mass, 6-gingerol content of 2.14 mg/g dry mass, and 6-shogaol content of 0.28 mg/g dry mass. Therefore, SWE effectively extracts various polar bioactive compounds from plant materials in a single step. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Ultrasonic-assisted Extraction of Dietary Fiber from Defective Lemon Basil (Ocimum basilicum var. citriodorum) Seed(2025-01-01) ;Nilmat, Kamonthip ;Noitang, Sajee ;Supang, Wirasinee; Lemon basil (Ocimum basilicum var. citriodorum) is an herbaceous plant cultivated for seed consumption only in Sukhothai Province, Thailand. Unlike cultivating for fresh leave consumption, the production of lemon basil seed requires maturity and reproduction phases, the same as rice and wheat. After harvesting, the farmer separates unmatured red basil seeds (RBS) because of their diverse color. The RBS contains valuable compounds, such as dietary fiber, that could be extracted by an ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE). This work aims to extract DF with the highest brightness using L*a*b* color in liquid form as an indicator. The optimal condition was identified by the crossing point between the brightness (L*) and extraction yield. The proximate nutrient analysis showed that RBS has a higher fiber content than high-quality basil seed (HBS). For water swelling ability, HBS performed 4-fold higher than RBS. The complete extraction of dietary fiber was observed at 10 min for UAE at 200 W, a water-to-seed ratio of 30:1, and 100% amplitude, and it was preferably conducted at room temperature (30±2°C) without an external cooling system. The correlation between UAE extraction time and temperature at constant total power and amplitude was also explored. When the extraction temperature exceeded 80°C, the extracted mucilage was rotten within 24 h, even if stored at 4°C. Moreover, the extracted RBS contained Omega-3 oil that a screw-press machine or supercritical CO2 could extract in further study. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Optimization of yield and thymoquinone content of screw press-extracted black cumin seed oil using response surface methodology(2023-01-01); ;Sila-ngam, Piraya ;Chummengyen, Supitcha ;Sukruay, AtitayaNgamprasertsith, SomkiatBecause there have been no previous reports on the use of screw presses for black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) seed oil extraction, the present study examined the effects of feed rate, temperature, and moisture content on the yield and thymoquinone content of mechanically extracted cold-pressed black cumin seed oil. The extraction parameters were optimized using a Box–Behnken design. Optimal conditions were identified by superimposing the response surfaces of oil yield and thymoquinone content. The thymoquinone content was stable under extraction conditions of 60 °C. Moisture played an important role in both oil yield and thymoquinone content. A maximum oil yield of 31.67 wt% ± 0.85 wt% was obtained at a feed rate of 45 g/min, temperature of 70 °C, and moisture content of 6 wt%. However, a low thymoquinone content of 5.14 ± 0.74 mg/mL was observed under these conditions. Furthermore, high thymoquinone content (∼12.00 mg/mL) reduced the oil yield to 10–13 wt%. The optimal conditions were found to be a feed rate of 50–54 g/min, moisture content of 15–18 wt%, and temperature of 55–60 °C, which gave a yield of 22 wt% oil and 10 mg/mL thymoquinone content. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Biodiesel Production from Rambutan Seed Waste by Supercritical Ethanol: Economic Analysis(2025-01-01) ;Supang, Wirasinee ;Nilmat, Kamonthip; ;Utthachat, KassamaNgamprasertsith, SomkiatThe production capacity of rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum Linn.) in Thailand is approximately 0.3–0.4 million tons per year, and an average of 1,900 tons of rambutan seed is left as seed waste. This work pre-extracted rambutan seed oil using a single screw press machine to serve as feedstock for biodiesel production. However, the rambutan seed had a high lipid content of ~40%; the screw press machine was capable of extracting only 6–10% of the rambutan seed oil; in other words, ~24% of the residual oil remains in the seed cake. An ethanolic extraction was performed to recover the remaining lipids in the pressed seed cake. This work also aimed to use ethanol as a reactant for biodiesel production in supercritical conditions without removing the extracting ethanol. Ethanolic extraction and supercritical ethanol transesterification were collectively called the EE-SET process. The fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE) content in the resultant biodiesel ranged from 40–60% because rambutan seed oil contained ~50% oleic (C18:1) and ~40% arachidic (C20:0) acids, which have higher molecular weights than common plant oil. Next, the experimental conditions were simulated in Aspen Plus V.12 software to estimate the mass and energy balances in the biodiesel production process. The results from computer simulations were applied to an economic analysis to assess the feasibility of the EE-SET process. Because the unique fatty acid profile of rambutan seed oil generated a lower FAEE content and consumed a large amount of energy for distillation, the process's complexity reduced the EE-SET process's profitability. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A review of supercritical technologies for lipid-based biofuels production: The glycerol-free processes(2021-01-01); ;Komintarachat, Cholada ;Sawangkeaw, RuengwitNgamprasertsith, SomkiatSupercritical transesterification of lipid-based biomasses, a recent technique to produce biofuel without a catalyst, is discussed. This review focused on a glycerol-free process. The supercritical reactants include dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate (ETA), and methyl tert-butyl ether. The by-products from the glycerol-free process can improve both the quantity and quality of the resultant biofuel. This review suggests that supercritical transesterification of lipid-based biomasses using ETA as a co-reactant can provide the most valuable advantages, as involves inexpensive and renewable resources, which are important for biofuel production and sustainability. - 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. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Biodiesel Production from Spent Coffee Grounds by Using Ethanolic Extraction and Supercritical Transesterification(2024-12-01) ;Supang, Wirasinee ;Ngamprasertsith, Somkiat; Sawangkeaw, RuengwitThis work presents a way to use ethanol and spent coffee grounds (SCG) as feedstocks for biodiesel production to solve ethanol overproduction in Thailand and biodiesel feedstock shortage problems together. Waste coffee oil (SCGO) was ethanolic extracted from SCG; then, ethanol-SCGO mixture was transesterified in supercritical condition without ethanol removal. The ethanolic extraction curves of SCG at a temperature range of 50–70 °C were constructed. Transesterification experiments were studied in a batch reactor and a continuous reactor at various temperatures (275–350 °C) and reaction time (5–40 min) under 15.0 MPa. The molar ratio of ethanol-oil mixture was set at 30:1. The highest ester content of 88.37 ± 3.00 wt% was found in biodiesel obtained at a temperature of 275 °C and a reaction time of 40 min in a batch reactor. Furthermore, excess temperature (< 300 °C) and reaction time (< 20 min) induced thermal degradation and promoted the loss of ethyl linoleate. For continuous reactor, the maximum ester content of 83.38 ± 5.86 wt% was observed at 325 °C and 29.4 min of residence time. Unlike in batch reactors, thermal degradation of ethyl linoleate was not observed in a continuous reactor. The results showed that ethanolic extraction and supercritical transesterification are alternative ways to produce biodiesel from SCG without removing extractant and using catalyst. From a prospective point of view, techno-economic analysis (TEA) and life-cycle assessment (LCA) of invented process should be conducted to ensure profitability and environmental benefits, respectively.
