A comprehensive study of sous-vide cooked Korat chicken breast processed by various conditions: texture, compositional/structural changes, and consumer acceptance.

Korat chicken (KC) is a slow-growing crossbreed renowned for its excellent growth and firm texture. This study investigated the effect of various sous-vide (SV) conditions (60 and 70°C, 1-3 h) on their texture, protein structure and degradation, as well as consumer acceptability, with the traditional boiling served as control. Texture showed significant improvement under all SV conditions compared to the control, as demonstrated by increased water holding capacity (WHC), cooking loss, and decreased shear force, hardness, and chewiness (P < 0.

Investigating the Effect of Various Sous-Vide Cooking Conditions on Protein Structure and Texture Characteristics of Tilapia Fillet Using Synchrotron Radiation-Based FTIR.

The effects of various sous-vide (SV) cooking conditions (50-60℃, 30-60 min) on physicochemical properties related to the texture characteristics, protein structure/degradation, and sensory acceptability of tilapia fillet () were investigated. With an increasing temperature and processing time of SV cooking, protein degradation (of both myofibrils and connective tissue) was more pronounced, as evaluated by the decrease in water- and salt-soluble proteins, total collagen, as well as the changes in the ratio of secondary protein structures (α-helix, β-sheet, β-turn, etc.), which were determined by synchrotron-FTIR (SR-FTIR).

Flour on Gluten-Free Muffins from Different Edible Cassava Varieties in Thailand.

The aim of this research was to analyze the difference between flour from three cassava varieties and to evaluate the suitability and quality of flour for gluten-free muffins. The physico-chemical properties of flour from three varieties were studied.

Performance Evaluation of Focal Plane Array (FPA)-FTIR and Synchrotron Radiation (SR)-FTIR Microspectroscopy to Classify Rice Components.

The development of biochemical analysis techniques to study heterogeneous biological samples is increasing. These techniques include synchrotron radiation Fourier transform infrared (SR-FTIR) microspectroscopy. This method has been applied to analyze biological tissue with multivariate statistical analysis to classify the components revealed by the spectral data.

Resistance Induction by Salicylic Acid Formulation in Cassava Plant against Fusarium solani.

Fusarium root rot caused by the soil-borne fungus Fusarium solani is one of the most important fungal diseases of cassava in Thailand, resulting in high yield losses of more than 80%. This study aimed to investigate if the exogenous application of salicylic acid formulations (Zacha) can induce resistance in cassava against Fusarium root rot and observe the biochemical changes in induced cassava leaf tissues through synchrotron radiation based on Fourier-transform infrared (SR-FTIR) microspectroscopy. We demonstrated that the application of Zacha11 prototype formulations could induce resistance against Fusarium root rot in cassava.

In vitro gastrointestinal digestion of Lentinus squarrosulus powder and impact on human fecal microbiota.

Humans have long-used mushrooms as food and medicine, but digestion and colonic fermentation of most mushrooms, including Lentinus squarrosulus is markedly unknown. Here, nutritional profile, digestion and colonic fermentation of L. squarrosulus powder (LP) were determined.

Development of Natural Luminescent Powder for the Detection of Latent Fingerprint.

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Nowadays, Dyes is widely used to improve fingerprints identification test. Natural dyes are another interesting way that can be used instead of chemical dyes because of its non-toxicity and lower cost. In this research, the development of rust powder from <i>Plumeria</i> tree was applied for fingerprints identification due to its fluorescence property under UV.

Effect of Salicylic AcidFormulations on Induced Plant Defense against Cassava Anthracnose Disease.

This study was to investigate defense mechanisms on cassava induced by salicylic acid formulation (SA) against anthracnose disease. Our results indicated that the SA could reduce anthracnose severity in cassava plants up to 33.3% under the greenhouse condition.

Identification of a Chitooligosaccharide Mechanism against Bacterial Leaf Blight on Rice by In Vitro and In Silico Studies.

This study focuses on a commercial plant elicitor based on chitooligosaccharides (BIG), which aids in rice plant growth and disease resistance to bacterial leaf blight (BLB). When the pathogen () vigorously attacks rice that has suffered yield losses, it can cause damage in up to 20% of the plant. Furthermore, is a seed-borne pathogen that can survive in rice seeds for an extended period.

Risk of Antimicrobial Resistant Non-Typhoidal during Asymptomatic Infection Passage between Pet Dogs and Their Human Caregivers in Khon Kaen, Thailand.

To explore the risk of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) non-typhoidal during asymptomatic infection passage between pet dogs and human caregivers in Khon Kaen, Thailand, one hundred forty paired fecal samples ( = 280) were obtained from companion dogs and their human caregivers, interviewed from 140 households during 2019-2020. The purified isolates were serotype-identified and tested for antimicrobial resistance against ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol, nalidixic acid, streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, and tetracycline. The homologous isolate pairs (suggesting infections may have been due to passage between each one of the pair, or derived from the same source) were subsequently characterized by serotype screening, pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and Synchrotron Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (SR-FTIR).
