Item type:Publication, Quality attributes of parboiled rice prepared with a parboiling process using a rotating sieve system(2019-01-01); The aim of this study is to apply a rotating sieve system to the parboiling process for parboiled rice production. The parboiling time and rotation speed were the main production factors affecting the quality attributes of the parboiled rice, including the degree of starch gelatinization (DG), fissure percentage, head rice yield (HRY), white belly, and color. The results showed that the parboiling process with a rotating sieve can decrease the parboiling time required to provide an even quality of parboiled rice. The parboiling time for an even quality of parboiled rice was 5 min at rotation speeds of 10 and 15 rpm, while the parboiling time at a rotation speed of 5 rpm was 10 min. These times were shorter than that with a fixed sieve (15 min). Moreover, the parboiling process using a rotating sieve system provided better qualities of parboiled rice than that using the fixed sieve system, including higher DG and HRY and lower fissure and whiteness percentages. Additionally, the values of DG and HRY were increased with increasing parboiling time. In contrast, the fissure and whiteness percentages of the parboiled rice decreased. However, the quality of the parboiled rice was not dependent on the rotation speed. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Machine learning-based prediction of nutritional status in oil palm leaves using proximal multispectral images(2022-07-01); ;Donis-Gonzalez, Irwin; ; This study evaluated the application of proximal multispectral images accompanied by 4 machine learning approaches for estimating the nutritional status of oil palm leaves. The image responded for five bands: blue, green, red, red edge, and near-infrared regions with a center wavelength of 475, 560, 668, 717, and 840 nm. Average and standard deviation (SD) values from the leaf pixels of each band were extracted, obtaining 5 average and 5 SD values from 5 bands. Thirty-four vegetation variables were generated based on those average and SD values. In total, forty-four variables consisted of 10 average-and SD-based features, and 34 vegetation variables were used as the input candidates for analyses against 10 target variables: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), boron (B), and chlorophyll (SPAD). No significant input came out for modeling with P and Zn based on the stepwise selection. Therefore, 8 nutritional models were proposed in this study. A training set with 50 samples was used to be modeled for each target, and a test set with 15 samples was employed to evaluate the models' performances. Based on random forest (RF), support vector regression (SVR), partial least square regression (PLSR), and artificial neuron network (ANN) applied to be modeled, the models for chlorophyll, N, and Ca predictions were acceptable for screening, and those for K and Mg predictions were acceptable for rough screening. The chlorophyll model developed based on the RF had the predictive statistics in terms of coefficient of determination for prediction (r<sup>2</sup>), root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP), and standard error of prediction (SEP) of 0.752, 5.46 SPAD, and 5.65 SPAD, respectively. The other 2 screening models developed based on SVR and RF for N and Ca, respectively, gave the performances with the r<sup>2</sup>, RMSEP, and SEP ranging from 0.655 to 0.718, 0.12 to 0.17%, and 0.12 to 0.18%, respectively. In the case of the 2 rough screening models established using the RF algorithm, the predictive statistics ranged from 0.496 to 0.530 for the r<sup>2</sup> and 0.07–0.16% for both RMSEP and SEP. In this study, the Fe, Mn, and B models had poor results presenting the range of r<sup>2</sup>, RMSEP, and SEP of 0.308–0.491, 2.39–72.9 ppm, and 2.45–62.8 ppm, respectively. Based on the results, this study confirmed that the proximal multispectral information of oil palm leaves had enough significance to account for the status of chlorophyll and macro-nutrients: N, K, Ca, and Mg in the leaves. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Sustainable tropical fruit peel waste biochars for enhanced cadmium and lead adsorption: mechanistic insights and optimization using response surface methodology and backpropagation neural networks(2025-08-01) ;Limmun, Wanida; ;Maneesri, Wisit ;Pewpa, OrrawanHeavy metal contamination, particularly from cadmium (Cd(II)) and lead (Pb(II)), presents a severe environmental challenge due to its toxicity and persistence. This study explores an innovative approach by utilizing abundant yet underutilized tropical fruit peel waste to produce biochars that serve as effective, sustainable adsorbents for heavy metal remediation. Biochars derived from banana peels (BP) and Monthong durian shells (DS) were synthesized via pyrolysis at 400–800 °C and evaluated for their physicochemical properties and adsorption efficiency. The DS600 biochar exhibited the highest adsorption capacity, removing Cd(II) (40.37 mg/g) and Pb(II) (51.74 mg/g), surpassing BP600 (40.22 mg/g and 47.23 mg/g, respectively). This study introduces a dual-modeling framework by integrating response surface methodology (RSM) with backpropagation neural network (BPNN) to optimize adsorption conditions and enhance predictive accuracy. The optimized conditions achieved over 99% removal efficiency, with R<sup>2</sup> > 0.98 and MSE < 0.05, confirming the robustness of the model-based predictions. The study highlights the superior adsorption performance of DS600 biochar, with adsorption mechanisms influenced by pH, dosage, and biochar properties. In contrast to conventional studies that focus solely on equilibrium adsorption or rely on statistical models, this work pioneers the use of tropical fruit peel biochar in heavy metal remediation, providing quantitative insights into process optimization and practical scalability. The findings demonstrate the potential for valorizing agricultural waste into high-performance adsorbents, advancing cost-effective and sustainable water treatment technologies. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Comparative Analysis of Biochar Properties from Lemon and Kumquat Peels at Different Pyrolysis Temperatures(2025-01-01) ;Limmun, Wanida; ;Ito, Ayumi ;Choolaaied, OrasaPhanchindawan, NareeThis study examines the effects of pyrolysis temperatures (500 °C and 700 °C) on the properties of biochar derived from lemon peel (LB), kumquat peel (KB), and their combination (LKB). The study analyzed the variations in biochar yield, elemental composition, and specific surface area. The results indicated that higher temperatures led to a reduction in yield but a significant improvement in specific surface area, pore volume, and carbonization, ultimately producing more stable and aromatic biochar. Additionally, LB700 and KB700 exhibited more developed pore structures and higher specific surface areas than those produced at 500 °C. Elemental analysis showed an increase in carbon content and a decrease in hydrogen content at elevated temperatures, suggesting improved biochar stability. These findings demonstrate that higher pyrolysis temperatures enhance the specific surface area and carbon content of biochar, making it more suitable for environmental applications such as soil quality improvement and pollutant adsorption. The study highlights the potential of using commonly discarded agricultural waste, such as lemon and kumquat peels, for biochar production. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Effect of Drying Temperature on Drying Characteristics, Total Phenolic Content and Antioxidant Activity of Slightly Sticky Mango (Mangifera Indica L.) Sheet(2022-01-07) ;Nungwongsa, S. ;Sayasoonthorn, S. ;Jaisut, D.; Thakhiew, W.Dried slightly sticky mango sheets is healthy sweet snack, having slightly chewy texture. The objective of this work was to study the effect of drying temperatures (60, 70 and 80 C) on the drying characteristics, total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity (assessed by DPPH and ABTS scavenging activity assays) and specific energy consumption of the dried slightly sticky mango sheets. The experimental results showed that the times required to reach the desired final moisture content were 230, 150 and 120 min when drying was performed at the temperatures of 60, 70 and 80 C, respectively. The total specific energy consumption (SECtotal) values of the drying at 70 and 80 C were lower than that at 60 C. However, the TPC and the antioxidant activities assessed by DPPH and ABTS scavenging activity assays were not significantly different amongst the samples dried at different temperatures. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A study on binderless co-pelletization of industrial rice-powder wastes and teak sawdust at low and elevated temperatures(2022-12-01) ;Munsin, Ronnachart ;Udtasri, Jakkarin ;Topaiboul, Subongkoj ;Kowtakul, PichetYeunyongkul, PrachaThe objectives of this work were to investigate the effect of rice-powder wastes on binding characteristics of pellet at low temperature (25 °C) and to investigate effect of the elevated temperature of die (80 and 140 °C) on the quality of co-pelletized fuel. Mixing ratios of raw materials, i.e. teak sawdust and rice-powder wastes, were tested at 1:0.5, 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3. The results showed that the mixing ratio of 1:1 was optimal at low temperature for binding considered from a trade-off between the increase in friction versus the increase in density and strength. The qualities of pelletized fuel were improved by the elevated temperatures, especially at 140 °C, resulted in the increase in density, compressive strength and energy density, and the decrease in adhesive friction and moisture content. While the color change of pellet was highly depended on die temperature (10 at 80 °C and over 15 at 140 °C), the color change of pellet was not dominated by type of rice-powder wastes.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Sustainable Valorization of Salak Peel Waste: Regeneration of Biochar for Lead Removal from Wastewater(2026-01-01) ;Buakhiao, Phruektinai; ;Jamkamon, Aud; This study evaluates the effects of pyrolysis temperature (600°C and 800°C, denoted as SP600 and SP800) and regeneration reagents on lead (Pb²⁺) adsorption performance of biochar derived from salak peels. Moreover, the lead removal efficiency and adsorption efficiency after several regeneration cycles under appropriate conditions were also investigated. The results indicate that increasing the pyrolysis temperature significantly enhances lead removal efficiency and adsorption capacity, with biochar pyrolyzed at 800°C and loaded with lead (SP800Pb) exhibiting the highest initial lead adsorption performance. However, upon regeneration using hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium nitrate (NaNO₃) at various concentrations, SP600Pb demonstrated higher lead removal performance than SP800Pb across all conditions. Specifically, SP600Pb regenerated by 0.1M HCl exhibited the highest lead desorption efficiency and removal efficiency. Furthermore, after five consecutive adsorption-regeneration cycles, the biochar regenerated by 0.1M HCl (SP600RPb) exhibited a suitable removal efficiency of 83.91 ± 0.10 and a desorption efficiency of 148.73 ± 0.13. The observed desorption efficiency exceeding 100 was attributed to the accumulated release of Pb²⁺ ions during successive regeneration cycles, which indicates enhanced ion-exchange dynamics over time. Therefore, biochar pyrolyzed at 600°C and regenerated using 0.1M HCl is appropriate for the reuse of biochar in lead adsorption, promoting sustainable resource application, cost reduction, and waste minimization in production processes.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Eco-friendly magnetic biochar from Leb Mu Nang banana peel: Response surface methodology optimization for Cd(II) adsorption from synthetic wastewater(2024-02-01) ;Limmun, Wanida; ;Borkowski, John J. ;Ishikawa, NaoPairintra, RattanachaiMagnetic biochar derived from Leb Mu Nang banana peel waste is introduced as a novel precursor for Cd(II) removal from synthetic wastewater. This study comprehensively evaluates and optimizes variable factors, including initial Cd(II) concentration, magnetic biochar (MLP) dosage, adsorption time, and initial pH level, using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). A Cd(II) removal efficiency of up to 93.4 % is reached under the conditions of a 50 mg/L initial concentration, 5 g/L MLP dosage, 24 h of adsorption time, and a solution pH of 8. The pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models accurately represent the kinetics and isotherm adsorptions, highlighting ion exchange, surface complexation, and precipitation as primary adsorption mechanisms. The magnetic biochar derived from Leb Mu Nang banana peels shows promise for efficient Cd(II) removal with easy post-adsorption separation.4 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Testing and evaluation of banana (‘Kluay Lab Mue Nang’) wholesale packaging in Chumphon province, Thailand under transport simulation(2019-01-01) ;Ruttanadech, N. ;Saewanarak, A.; This research evaluated the effects of foam packaging on wholesale packages of banana (‘Kluay Lab Mue Nang’) in Chumphon province, Thailand. The experiment was divided into 3 experimental sets, namely, 1) foam net (FN); 2) expanded polyethylene foam (EPE); and 3) controlled sample without use packaging (NOP) and damages were categorized into three types which were bruising, abrasion and laceration. Vibration tests were performed following the standard method of ASTM D999 Method A2 using the frequency of 4 Hz for one hour. Results revealed that the total damage of EPE (bruising, abrasion, and laceration) was higher than that of FN. When considering the percentage of damage area, it was found that the damage percentages of EPE caused by bruising and abrasion were 7.41 and 3.28%, respectively, and the damage percentages of FN caused by bruising and abrasion were 5.73 and 3.82%, respectively. There was no damage from laceration detected. The results showed that FN had the greatest reduction in damage. The controlled sample (NOP) had a total damage of 20.79%.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Effects of Coffee Form and Distributor Hole Angle on The Fluidization Behavior and Specific Energy Consumption in The Fluidized Bed Machine(2021-08-01); ; Sansiribhan, SansaneeThe fluidized bed technique was applied to use with the Robusta coffee in this research. fluidization behavior and specific energy consumption were investigated under various coffee forms and distributor hole angles. Moreover, the minimum fluidization velocity (Vmf) was also determined. Experiments are carried out in a sample bed height of 5 cm with ambience air. In this study, two coffee forms (Ripe coffee cherries; RCC and parchment coffee; PC) and three distributor hole angles (45°, 60° and 90°) are examined. The experimental result shown that the fluidization behavior is influenced by coffee form and distributor hole angle. The RCC and distributor hole angle of 60° provided the low pressure drop throughout the superficial air velocity. The low values of Vmf and SEC were also achieved in the RCC and distributor hole angle of 60°.2
