Effect of Different Drying Methods on the Phytochemical and Antioxidant Properties of Soursop Leaves at Two Stages of Maturity.

Soursop ( L.) leaves are a rich source of bioactive compounds and antioxidant properties. However, they are non-economical and rapidly diminish due to insect damage and biochemical degradation.

Influence of pomelo pericarp essential oil on the structural characteristics of gelatin-arrowroot tuber flour-based edible films.

The present study examined the comprehensive effects of incorporating pomelo pericarp essential oil (PEO) at varying concentrations (0.5, 1.0, 1.

Extension of Quality and Shelf Life of Tomatoes Using Chitosan Coating Incorporated with Cinnamon Oil.

This study examined the effects of 2% chitosan (CS) coatings incorporated with varying concentrations of cinnamon oil (CO) (0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.

Investigation of Melatonin Incorporated CMC-Gelatin Based Edible Coating on the Alleviation of Chilling Injury Induced Pericarp Browning in Longkong.

Longkong ( Griff.) fruit is prone to rapid pericarp browning and shortened shelf life (<7 days) under prolonged low-temperature storage. This study investigates the effect of an edible coating, comprising carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and gelatin in a fixed 3:1 ratio, integrated with various concentrations of melatonin (MT) (0.

Edible Insects in Thailand: An Overview of Status, Properties, Processing, and Utilization in the Food Industry.

Edible insects have become increasingly popular in Thailand as a nutritious and appealing alternative food source. As the edible insect industry in the country expands rapidly, efforts are being made to transform it into an economically viable sector with substantial commercial potential. Some of the most consumed and sold edible insects in Thailand include locusts, palm weevils, silkworm pupae, bamboo caterpillars, crickets, red ants, and giant water bugs.

Phytochemicals, Bioactive Properties and Commercial Potential of Calamondin () Fruits: A Review.

The calamondin ( is a hybrid citrus fruit resulting from the crossing of a mandarin orange with a kumquat. It is a small, round-shaped fruit with thin, smooth skin ranging from orange to dark red. The aroma of the fruit is distinctive and unique.

Influence of Pomelo () Pericarp Essential Oil on the Physicochemical Properties of HomChaiya Rice ( L. cv. HomChaiya) Flour-Derived Edible Films.

The food industry is increasingly interested in using active edible packaging to address environmental problems caused by conventional synthetic polymers, such as pollution and degradation. The present study took advantage of this opportunity to develop active edible packaging using Hom-Chaiya rice flour (RF), incorporating pomelo pericarp essential oil (PEO) at varying concentrations (1-3%). Films without PEO were used as controls.

Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of durian ( Murr.) pulp, seed and peel flour.

The unripe pulp, inner peel and seed of durian were used in this study. These are generally not considered edible and must be disposed of as waste. However, they are good sources of bioactive compounds.

Detection of scale drop disease virus from non-destructive samples and ectoparasites of Asian sea bass, Lates calcarifer.

Non-destructive sampling methods offer practical advantages to detection and monitoring of viral pathogens in economically important farmed fish and broodstock. Here, we investigated whether blood, mucus and fin can be used as non-lethal sample sources for detection of scale drop disease virus (SDDV) in farmed Asian sea bass, Lates calcarifer. Detection of SDDV was performed in parallel from three non-destructive and seven destructive sample types, collected from both clinically sick fish and subclinical fish obtained from an affected farm.

A validated semi-nested PCR for rapid detection of scale drop disease virus (SDDV) in Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer).

Scale drop diseases virus (SDDV), a newly characterized virus of farmed Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer), has been reported in several countries in Southeast Asia. However, no fully validated detection method is publicly available for disease diagnosis and surveillance. Here, we described a newly developed semi-nested PCR (snPCR) method for detection of the virus from field samples.

Mortality from scale drop disease in farmed Lates calcarifer in Southeast Asia.

In Southeast Asia, a new disease called scale drop disease (SDD) caused by a novel Megalocytivirus (SDDV) has emerged in farmed Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer) in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. We received samples from an Eastern Thai province that also showed gross signs of SDD (loss of scales). Clinical samples of 0.

Characterization and PCR Detection Of Binary, Pir-Like Toxins from Vibrio parahaemolyticus Isolates that Cause Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND) in Shrimp.

Unique isolates of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VPAHPND) have previously been identified as the causative agent of acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) in shrimp. AHPND is characterized by massive sloughing of tubule epithelial cells of the hepatopancreas (HP), proposed to be induced by soluble toxins released from VPAHPND that colonize the shrimp stomach. Since these toxins (produced in broth culture) have been reported to cause AHPND pathology in reverse gavage bioassays with shrimp, we used ammonium sulfate precipitation to prepare protein fractions from broth cultures of VPAHPND isolates for screening by reverse gavage assays.
