This research is based on current world circumstances, which signify awareness of the environment and environmental problems, leading to the creation of alternative and eco-friendly products. Significantly, Thailand is an agricultural country, which contains agricultural products and reusable waste materials for fashion and lifestyle products. In that regard, such eco products are produced by the application of principles of fashion design and plasma innovation. The waste materials of palm products are collected from small and micro community enterprises. There appear to be several types of agricultural waste, including unripe palmyra palm fruits, ripe palmyra palm fruits, the exocarp of palmyra palm fruits, and the leaf stalks of palmyra palms. For textile production, the fibers of fifty-percent-ripe palmyra palm fruit and cotton fibers are spined together. The percentage of the palmyra palm fruit fibers is examined from 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, and 40-50% of palmyra palm fruit fibers are applicable for appropriate texture and quantity, which is due to its shortness. Most of these fibers also increase the risk of skin irritations. Furthermore, palmyra palm fruit fibers are compounded with para rubber by the dyeing method and the heat press machine for creating the materials for products. Subsequently, products are designed by surveys on consumer behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings highlighted the popularity of fashion and lifestyle products, such as Chelsea Boots, slipper shoes, slip-on shoes, messenger bags, belt bags, and shoulder bags, respectively. The identity of the palmyra palm is also included, as well as homespun materials. Additionally, the plasma-based coating in the form of water reflection is proceeded to prevent moisture, fungi, and bacteria, and to reduce chemicals. All in all, this study unveils the guideline of creating value from agricultural waste materials using plasma innovation with eco-friendly outcomes.

Consumers, especially Gen Z, are increasingly interested in plant-based protein products. However, most plant proteins are imported, while tiger peanuts from Mae Hong Son Province, Thailand, offer a local alternative. This research explores Gen Z consumers' attitudes toward plant-based protein. A survey of 200 participants found that most consumers are interested in plant-based foods but concerns about nutritional content, taste, and price. The study examined the effects of processing on tiger peanuts using raw (RAW_PEA), roasted (ROS_PEA), and autoclaved (CLAV_PEA) methods. Roasting increased protein to 42.84 g/100g and reduced fat to 6.74 g/100g. However, amino acids like leucine slightly decreased (1.56% in ROS_PEA and 10.94% in CLAV_PEA). and roasting enhanced foam expansion and solubility by 91.42% and 42.03%, respectively. This improved the chemical and functional properties of ROS_PEA. Therefore, ROS_PEA was then studied for the development of a tiger peanut protein drink using high-pressure processing (HPP) at 0, 100, 200, and 300 MPa and papain enzyme (0%, 0.05%, and 0.2%). The control treatment (0% enzyme/0 MPa HPP) showed low properties, but enzyme addition and HPP increased solubility by 2.1-fold, and 0.2% enzyme with 300 MPa HPP improved foam and protein content by 47.47%. In conclusion, the treatment use of 0.2% enzyme combined with HPP at 300 MPa resulted in improved properties. In product development, a 50:50 blend of tiger peanut and soy protein received the highest preference scores. After pasteurization and storage at 4°C for two weeks, the drink maintained good quality in the first week, but microbial growth increased in the second week. In conclusion, the protein drink can be stored for up to one week and complies with FDA standards.

(Srinakharinwirot University, 17/1/2025) Nithinun Chaikeeree; นิธินันท์ ชัยคีรี; Nithinun Chaikeeree; นิธินันท์ ชัยคีรี; [email protected]; [email protected]; Srinakharinwirot University
Dual-task performance simultaneously challenges both dynamic balance and cognitive processing. Endocrine therapy has an adverse effect on cognitive function; and it would be possible that older adults with breast cancer, who received endocrine therapy had problems with dual-task performance. It this essential to examine dual-task performance directly among older adults with breast cancer. The methodology included 30 older adults in each group including those who had breast cancer with endocrine therapy (BCA-Endocrine) and not cancer (Non-CA group) who participated in the study. Their single task performance in balance during walking and cognitive function were measured with the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and subtraction by three, starting with the range of 70-100. Their dual-task performance was measured using TUG simultaneously with the subtraction task (TUG-Cog). The TUG duration and cognitive task performance under single and dual-task conditions were used to compute the dual-task effect (DTE%) to identify the degree of dual-task effect and ability to balance while walking and on the rate of correct subtraction in a given time (Correct response rate, CRR). The results of the study were as follows: more time spent on the TUG and a decreased number of correct subtractions when performing dual-task were found in both groups. The results from the DTE% analysis were separated into walking balance and subtraction, found that the DTE% in TUG (Mean± SD) in the BCA-Endocrine (85.4± 44) was significantly higher than the Non-CA group (63.2± 32.8) (p=.03). Whereas, DTE% in CRR in the BCA-Endocrine (-50.6± 31.7) and in the Non-CA group (-46.5± 18.2) was not more negative than in the Non-CA (p=.42) In conclusion, older adults with breast cancer who received endocrine therapy had a larger effect of dual-tasking than older adults without cancer. The larger effect was found in balance during walking, but not in the performance in the subtraction task.

Obesity and overweight have become risk factors for health issues, among various weight control strategies, regular aerobic exercise is the recommended. Exercise interventions showed the benefits of weight loss. However, activities with more enjoyment and less exhaustion are required for the overweight. Therefore, the focus was to find an exercise activity suitable for beginners and finding a new technique to reduce the exhaustion of exercise. Recently, moderate-intensity interval training (MIIT) was introduced to the beginning of an exercise. MIIT intervention contains a couple of cycles of brief, moderate exercise intensity, following by a brief interval of low exercise intensity, the benefits of less exhaustion and more excitement. Therefore, the introduction of MIIT to an overweight population is suitable for exercise engagement. Another modality to reduce exhaustion is a slow, deep breathing technique. Besides enhancing cardiorespiratory function, slow deep breathing techniques can modulate the autonomic nervous reflex that can enhances exercise recovery. Therefore, this study characterized the exercise modality of moderate-intensity interval training (MIIT), in 25 young, adult and overweight participants with (BMI > 23 kg/m2). The effects of the additional slow, deep breathing technique in the cool down phase of exercise programs to demonstrate whether could enhance the rate of exercise recovery. There were 25 participants (13 men and 12 females, 16 overweight and nine obese) performed 45 minutes of a cycling program (warm up for five minutes; three intervals of five minutes at 20-40% and three intervals of five minutes at 50-60%; cool down: 10 minutes) followed by 30 minutes of recovery. Each participant had three exercise trials: (1) oxygen consumption measurement; (2) slow, deep breathing (SDB) during 10-minute cool down; or (3) without slow deep breathing (as control). Heart rate variability evaluated changes in cardio-autonomic activity. The results demonstrated that MIIT exercise program consumed oxygen 0.71 L/min similarly between males and females. The results suggested that the slow deep breathing session in this study during cool down improved the fast phase with the parasympathetic reactivation. Unfortunately, the benefit of slow deep breathing was reverse to become the resistance to recovery during slow phase. This disadvantage might be due to the respiratory exhaustion resulted from controlled breathing effort.

Objective: to investigate the effect of home-based exercise on various domains of cognitive function and physical performance in persons with MCI, by comparing three groups: aerobic exercise, resistance exercise and control group. Methods: This study was a single-blind randomized controlled trial. Ninety eligible participants, aged 60-80 years were randomly assigned to one of 30 people from three categories: aerobic exercise, resistance exercise or control group. The aerobic and resistance exercise groups received three months of home-based exercise (35 minutes/day including warm up and cool down, five days/week, and increased by five minutes every two weeks). The control group was asked to perform their usual daily activities. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (Thai version) (MoCA), Trail making test part A and B (TMT-A, TMT-B), Stroop color and word test (SCWT), a Digit span test (DST), a Stick design test (SDT), a Timed up and go test with manual task (TUG-M), a 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and a 30-second chair stand test were collected before training and after one, two and three months of training and a three-month follow-up. Results: Both aerobic and resistance groups showed significant improvements in all outcome measures during three-month post-training and follow-up, except SDT, while there was no cognitive improvement in control group at post-training and follow-up. When compared to the control group, aerobic group had significant improvements in MoCA, TMT-A, TMT-B and SCWT, while resistance group had significant improvements in MoCA and TMT-B at post-training and follow-up. However, there were no differences in any outcome measures between aerobic and resistance groups, except SCWT and 6MWT, which was significantly greater in the aerobic group than in the resistance group post-training. Additionally, both the aerobic and resistance groups had the earliest significant improvement on the MoCA, SCWT and TUG-M two months after training. Conclusion: Home-based exercise at low intensity, whether aerobic or resistance training, was effective for improving cognitive function in older persons with MCI and had sustained effects until follow-up.
