    (2026-04-01) Srisuwan S.; Gangnonngiw W.; Pratoomthai B.; Aekthammarat D.; Ngamratanapaiboon S.; Magerd S.; Srisuwan S.; Mahidol University
    rice wine in alcoholic (LPW) and dealcoholized (DLPW) forms over 0-28 days of fermentation, analyzing antioxidants, phenolic/anthocyanin content, cytotoxicity, ROS reduction, and probiotic growth. Phenolic content peaked at 3 days, slightly decreasing...Luem Pua black glutinous rice (Oryza sativa L. var. Luem Pua), rich in anthocyanins and phenolics with antioxidant properties. Fermented plant-based beverages contain these compounds and may support probiotic growth. This study investigates Luem Pua

    Wines without latitude: global and local forces and the geography of the Thai wine industry
    (2015-06-27) Banks, Glenn; Ratchaphong Klinsrisuk; รัชพงษ์ กลิ่นศรีสุข; Sittipong Dilokwanich; สิทธิพงษ์ ดิลกวณิช; Stupples, Polly; Mahidol University. Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies
    Wine grape production has historically been restricted to temperate latitudes – largely between 30 and 50 degrees above and below the equator. Recently, though, wine has started to be made in countries within tropical regions. This paper explores... the development and features of the Thai wine industry, the largest of the SE Asian wine producers. Linking in to arguments concerning economic and cultural globalisation, the paper explores the motivations and origins of the Thai producers, the environmental

This research examined the socio-ecological benefits of organic production to rice farmers through a mixed... practices as a medium of associations between farmers and nature. A subsequent phase of structured interviews with 75 members of organic farmer groups investigated the ways that informants improved soil fertility. Organic farmers perceived bountiful rice

    Risky alcohol use among reproductive-age men, not women, in Mae La refugee camp, Thailand, 2009
    (2012) Ezard, Nadine; Supan Thiptharakun; Nosten, François; Rhodes, Tim; McGready, Rose; Mahidol University. Faculty of Tropical Medicine. Mahidol–Oxford Clinical Research Unit
    Background: Globally, alcohol use contributes to close to 4% of all deaths and is a leading cause of ill health and premature death among men of reproductive age. Problem alcohol use is an unaddressed public health issue among populations displaced by conflict. Assessing the magnitude of the problem and identifying affected groups and risk behaviours is difficult in mobile and unstable populations. Methods: From 15–28 December 2009 we conducted a simple rapid screening test of risky alcohol use using the single item modified Short Assessment Screening Questionnaire (mSASQ) by all women currently enrolled in the antenatal care clinic in Mae La refugee camp, a long standing displaced setting on the Thai Burma border. Women self- reported and gave a secondary report of their male partners. Gender differences in alcohol use were further explored in semi-structured interviews with camp residents on attitudes, behaviours, and beliefs regarding alcohol and analysed thematically. Results: Of 636 women screened in the antenatal clinic, almost none (0.2%, 95CI 0.0-0.9%) reported risky alcohol use prior to pregnancy, whereas around a quarter (24.4%, 95CI 21.2-27.9%) reported risky alcohol use by their male partners. Interviews with 97 camp residents described strong social controls against women’s alcohol use and men’s drinking to intoxication, despite a dominant perception that the social context of life in displacement promoted alcohol use and that controls are loosening. Conclusions: As a stigmatised behaviour, alcohol use is difficult to assess, particularly in the context of highly mobile adult male populations: the simple assessment methods here show that it is feasible to obtain adequate data for the purposes of intervention design. The data suggest that risky drinking is common and normalised among men, but that the population may have been partially protected from rapid rises in problem alcohol use observed in nation-wide data from Thailand. The changing social context contains vulnerabilities that might promote problem alcohol use: further investigation, ongoing monitoring, and development of targeted interventions are warranted.

    Overexpression of free radicals in the brain is emerging as important markers in the etiology of neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and stroke. Numerous antioxidants with protective effect on neuronal injuries under oxidative stress are often limited to penetrate the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Angiopep-2 is the ligand of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein expressed on the BBB possessing high transcytosis capacity and parenchymal accumulation. In this study, novel Angiopep-conjugated p-coumaric acid (3) was synthesized, using the Click chemistry, as a potential antioxidant for the protection of the brain under oxidative stress. The clickable Angiopep (3) was synthesized by Cu(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of the terminal acetylene-modified Angiopep and azide of p-coumaric acid. The Angiopep-conjugated compound (3) showed antioxidant potency and non-cytotoxic effect toward brain endothelial cells (BECs). Obviously, the penetration and BECs protection of 3 were higher than that of the unconjugated p-coumaric acid. The results establish the bio-conjugation of antioxidant and Angiopep with enhanced protective effect on the BECs under oxidative stress. The findings provide great potential for the development of neurotherapeutics with increased brain penetration.
