Publication Metadata only Encapsulation of lycopene in emulsions and hydrogel beads using dual modified rice starch: Characterization, stability analysis and release behaviour during in-vitro digestion(2020-07-01) Surangna Jain; Thunnalin Winuprasith; Manop Suphantharika; Mahidol University© 2020 Elsevier Ltd The application of lycopene, a potent antioxidant, is limited because of its hydrophobic nature and low chemical stability. To overcome this, different delivery systems, i.e. oil-in-water emulsions and alginate beads, have been... synthesized in this study using modified rice starch for improving the stability of lycopene. Lycopene solution (in oil) was used as a control. Modified rice starch was used as it is cheap, GRAS, has better adsorption at the oil-water interface and providesPublication Metadata only Beta-carotene, lycopene, and alpha-tocopherol contents of selected Thai fruits(2009-03-01) R. Charoensiri; R. Kongkachuichai; S. Suknicom; P. Sungpuag; Mahidol UniversityA total of 37 varieties of fresh fruits obtained from six representative markets in Bangkok, Thailand, were determined for their beta-carotene, lycopene, and alpha-tocopherol contents using high performance liquid chromatography. Beta-carotene... content ranged from undetectable up to 616 μg/100 g of edible portion, lycopene content from undetectable up to 6693 μg/100 g and vitamin E content from not undetectable up to 1.43 mg/100 g.

Faculty of Veterinary Science. Semen LaboratoryIn Thailand, there are numerous commercial extenders for preservation of boar semen; however, no study has been carried out to compare these extenders in view of maintaining of sperm motility, plasma membrane integrity and acrosome integrity during cold storage. The aim of this study was to assess the percentage of sperm motility, HOST positive, viability and acrosome integrity of boar spermatozoa extended in Merck-III, Androstar®Plus, ModenaTM, NUTRIXcell®, VITASEM LD, Duragen and Dofu goldTM. Ejaculated from boars (n=6, one ejaculate from each boar) were collected and sub-samples (splited samples) were diluted (3x109 spermatozoa/100 ml) in the different extenders and stored for 10 days at 18ºC. On every second day (days 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) after storage, the sperm parameters such as sperm motility, HOST positive, viability and acrosome integrity were evaluated. There were significant differences in characteristic of sperm motility and acrosome integrity between extenders. For instance, on day 4, Merck III (short term extender) and other long term extenders are able to maintain the semen qualities as claimed by the manufacturing. On day 8, the percentages of sperm motility, viability and acrosome integrity were highest (p< 0.01) in Androstar®Plus (72%) and ModenaTM (75%), Androstar®Plus (67%) and ModenaTM(65.6%), and Androstar®Plus (74.6%), Duragen (72.4%) and VITASEM LD (71.6%), respectively. In conclusion, changes in motility, viability and acrosome integrity during storage were affected by the extender utilized, however long term extenders maintained a high percentage (70%) of sperm motility (i.e. Androstar®Plus, ModenaTM and Duragen) and acrosome integrity (i.e. Androstar®Plus, VITASEM LD and Duragen) through 8 days of storage.Publication Open Access Waste water minimization: Utilization of rubber latex residue and swine dung as fertilizer for Para rubber seedling growth(2012-06) Thanya Uttraporn; Saranya Sucharitaku; Gritsanaruck Theeraraj; Chumporn Yuwaree; Charlie Navanugraha; Rungjarat Hutacharoen; Rungjarat Hutacharoen; Mahidol University. Faculty of Environment and Natural Resource StudiesCentrifuged residue of concentrated latex production is the by-product or waste of latex processing of the Hevea tree (Heveabrasiliensis). The 10-15% residue of fresh latex causes waste disposal cost and environmental problems for factories. Because this residue contains some nutrients (N, P, K) in available forms, it can potentially enhance para-rubber tree growth. However, this centrifuged residue (CR) has some small rubber pieces mixed within that needs to be blended to prevent soil problems. The waste of swine dung or manure (SD) has similar problems on farms. This waste contains some essential plant nutrients, but it requires a period of time for microorganisms to decompose into the available compounds for plant growth. Thus, the blended fertilizer of latex residue with swine dung can potentially act as a preferable blended fertilizer because the nutrients from both wastes can enhance the plant growth from the initial stage. The aim of this study was to study the feasibility and effectiveness of the blended fertilizer at consideration ratio of 1:1 (CR and SD) alone and at nutrient adjustment to equal to chemical fertilizer usage for Hevea tree as a study case. We found that the blended fertilizer was feasible for para rubber seedlings, from the view point of growth enhancement, soil properties and water leachates.
