This study was undertaken to determine effect of bio-extract fermented from pig placenta and effect of wood vinegar solutions on seed germination percentage and speed of germination of 2 rice cultivars Chai Nat 1 and Sang Yod Phattalung. The experiment was conducted in factorial in completely randomized design with 2 factors and 4 replications. The first factor was ratios of the solutions to water and the second was duration for seed incubation. The results demonstrated that wood vinegar showed more positive effect on rice seed germination performances than that of bio-extract. Speed of germination was affected by an inter-action between the dilutions of the solutions and the duration for seed incubation. In Chai nat 1 experiment the seed soaked in 20 times dilution of bio-extract and subsequently incubated for 24 hrs increased speed of germination of the seed. While soaking the seed in 400 times dilution of wood vinegar and incubated for 24 hrs could enhance both percentage and speed of the seed germination. In Sang Yod Phattalung experiment soaking the seed in 50 times dilution of bio-extract and subsequently incubated for 48 hrs or soaking the seed in 300 times dilution of wood vinegar and incubated for 48 hrs could enhance both percentage and speed of seed germination. According to the results we concluded that soaking rice seed in bio-extract of pig placenta fermentation or in wood vinegar solutions could enhance the seed quality.

A study on Dragon fruit variety and effects of fertilizer on yield and quality of Dragon fruit (Hylocereus undatus) was conducted at Rajamangala University of Technology Suvarnabhumi Huntra Ayutthaya from October 2008 to October 2012. The soil type condition was a clayey type (59% clay) containing very low amount of organic matter (0.79%) low phosphorus (3 ppm) but very high potassium (230 ppm). There were 12 varieties of Dragon fruit collected from all over Thailand for growth study and yield trial. It was found that the variety from Rayong Province which originally introduced from Vietnam gave the maximum yield (4164.25 kg/rai/year). Application of chemical fertilizer at the rate of 0 300 600 and 900 g/trellis/year was carried out to study the effects of fertilizer on growth and yield of Dragon fruit. The results have shown that the application of chemical fertilizer at the rate of 900 and 600 g/trellis/year gave better growth more flowers and fruits per trellis which resulted in maximum yield; 4230.75 and 4185.50 kg/rai/year respectively. The fertilizer application resulted in decreasing the texture firmness and total soluble solids but increasing the vitamin C content.

The purpose of this research is to study Quality of work life affecting Organizational Commitment of private companies’ employees in Lopburi Province. Sample size in this research is 400 samples. Questionnaire is a tool for data collection. Statistics for data analysis are percentage mean standard deviation t-test one-way analysis of variance and multiple regressions analysis. Research results are as follows: Organizational commitment in the dimension of Strong belief in and acceptance of the organization’s goals has the relationship with Development of Human Capacities and Social Relevance. Organizational commitment in the dimension of Willingness to exert considerable effort on behalf of the organization has the relationship with Adequate and Fair Compensation Development of Human Capacities and Work Life Balance. Organizational commitment in the dimension of Strong desire to maintain membership in the organization has the relationship with Adequate and Fair Compensation Growth and Security and Social integration.

The objective of this research was to study the effect of lycopene fortification from gac fruit (Momordica cochinchinensis Spreng) in different levels (1 1.5 2 %) compared with standard formula and addition of BHT 100 ppm on physical properties and consumer acceptance of chicken nuggets product. The analysis showed that the sensorial evaluation of nuggets chicken fortification at 2 % lycopene had accepted overall liking score in range like moderately to like very much (p>0.05) of chicken nuggets. Antioxidant activity using by DPPH and total phenol content were the highest (14.04% and 4.43 mgGAE/g) significantly. Furthermore also found that adding powder lycopene levels had the ability to retard oxidation activities similar BHT 100 ppm after storage at 4 C for a period of one month and inhibit the rancidity effective a 2-fold compared to control.

Dipping of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fillets in the mixture solution of 2.0% sodium pyrophosphate and 0.5%sodium triphosphate and coating with 0.00.30.60.9 % chitosan solutions drained packed in polyethylene bags well sealed stored at 4๐C for 15 days were evaluated. The results showed the moisture of all sample did not statistically difference and quite constant during storage. The pH and TVB-N value increased with the storage period for all sample Coating with low concentration of chitosan resulted in lower pH fillets than higher concentration. The decreasing of pH resulted in decreasing of Water Holding Capacity (WHC) of the fillets. Increasing chitosan concentration increased pH and WHC. The oxidation of the samples revealed that the Thiobarbituric acid(TBA) of 0.3% chitosan was maximum and lower with increasing of chitosan concentration. Increasing of TBA may be because of acidity of chitosan solution activated fat hydrolysis. Nevertheless chitosan coating effectively inhibited growth of microorganism in the fillets.
