The potential health benefits attributed to mulberry leaf and its bioactive compounds have led to a huge increase of mulberry leaf products in the food market. The objective of this research was to determine total antioxidant activities ( FRAP and DPPH assays) and polyphenol compounds in 4 snack products i.e. loaf-bread puifai (Thai steamed cupcakes) peakpoon (Green coconut sweet pudding) and snow skin mooncake fortified with 10% mulberry leaf powder from “ Buri Rum 60” cultivar. The result showed that antioxidant activities and polyphenol contents increased in 4 products fortified with mulberry leaf powder. Ferulic acid was the only phenolic compound found in all original products. Kaempferol quercetin and caffeic acid were significantly increased whereas ferulic acid was reduced in the modified formulas. Therefore these bioactive compounds properties of mulberry leaf powder suggested their possible use for fortifying the healthy foods.

The fresh moonflower (FM) was dried in hot air oven at 50 C 48 hours as the dried moonflower (DM) 7.37 %. Then DM was extracted by ethanol concentration 95% and using the evaporator to evaporate ethanol solution. This study aimed to study the process which extract phenolic compounds (PC) from FM and formulate PC in pasteurized milk. From the results PC was 68.11±1.44 μg/ml. The final formula of pasteurized milk was added PC 1g /200 ml and was pasteurized at 72 °C 15 s. The (L*) 85.91±0.07 (b *) -1.92±0.06 (a *) 17.13±0.24 pH 6.58±0.00 total soluble solid 12 ˚Brix. It could be stored at 4 C for 7 days.

This research aims to produce the T-BAR particleboard from Physic nuts for interior building which are brought agricultural wastes to used for beneficial materials. Under the Thailand industrial standard (TIS-876-2547) specified the evaluated values such as desnsity water content water absorption thickness swelling bending strength elastic modulus and internal bonded. The experiment and evaluation processes between Physic nuts per Urea Formaldehyde ratio and Physic nuts per Phenol-cyanate based on 90:10 92:8 95:5 and 97:3 in consequence that we found the thickness of particleboard not more than 2 cm. The suitable ratio for Phenol-cyanate 92:8 percentage (Physic nuts 92% with Phenol-cyanate 8%) and suitable ratio for Urea Formaldehyde 90:10 percentage (Physic nuts 90% with Urea Formaldehyde 10%) at 120 Celsius temperature on pressing process. The Phenol-cyanate glue ratio of 0.80 gram per cubic centimeter suited to produce the particleboards averaged water content before pressing 8.89% suitable pressure in process 150 pound per square inch water content 7.65% density 0.818 gram per cubic centimeter water absorption 14.23% during 2 hours thickness swelling 8.02% during 2 hours internal bond 0.56 MPa bending strength 21.45 MPa modulus 2116 MPa. The Urea Formaldehyde glue ratio of 0.82 gram per cubic centimeter suited to produce the particleboards averaged water content before pressing 9.84% suitable pressure in process 152 pound per square inch water content 8.63% density 0.833 gram per cubic centimeter water absorption 14.36% during 2 hours thickness swelling 8.95% during 2 hours internal bond 1.39 MPa bending strength 22.37 MPa modulus 2117 MPa. As the results shown that both of Urea Formaldehyde and Phenol-cyanate with Physic nuts passed the TIS 876-2547 standard. The Physic nuts can produce the particleboards for using inside building.

The objective of this research is to produce the T-Bar. The mixed Gule Phenol-cyanate to made ceiling Plate-Bar plate from the agriculture process’s waste. The researcher brought physic nut plant to produce T- BAR plate for interior building. It was tested based on Thailand industrial standard (TIS 876-2547) for determination of moisture content density absorption and expansion when soak in water as well a cohesion and perpendicular surface tension flexural resistance and modulus of elasticity . at The results show that suitable size material should not thicker than 2 centimeters. The experiment of ratio between physic nut plant and phenol cyanide resin at 90:10 and 92:8. It was found that suitable proportion of physic nut pant and phenol cyanide resin was 92:8. The temperature used for compression was 120o C. The appropriate density prior to the compression plate was 0.80 g/cm.3 The average moisture content of materials before compression was 8.88%. The suitable compression was 151 lb/in?. The moisture content of the product was 7.64% The density was 0.818 g/cm.3 The expansion value after soaking in water for 2 hours was 8.02% and water absorption was 14.22%. Inner bond was 0.55 MPa. Flexibility was 22.44 MPa. and mordulus was 2112MPa.The result of testing complied with the Thailand Industrial Standard (TIS 876-2547).It was concluded that physic nut plant can be used as raw material to make T- Bar plate for interior building

The species composition of Podostemaceae was studied in Loei northeastern Thailand from November 2009 to July 2010 by extensive surveying in the rapids and waterfalls inside and outside of national parks wildlife sanctuaries and protected areas. The samples collected are classified into 2 subfamilies which are Tristichoideae and Podostemoideae. The former contains 2 genera and 3 species Dalzellia kailarsenii Terniopsis sp. 1 Terniopsis sp. 2. The latter has 4 genera and 9 species Hanseniella heterophylla Hydrobryum japonicum Hydrobryum loeicum Hydrobryum tardhuangense Hydrobryum vientianense Hydrobryum sp. 1 Hydrobryum sp. 2 Polypleurum sessile Thawatchaia trilobata. The highest number of species occurs in Hydrobryum with 6 species following by Terniopsis with 2 species. The other four genera have one species each. Based on morphological and molecular analyses revealed that 2 species of the genus Hydrobryum are new and 2 taxa of Terniopsis are also new species. Polypleurum sessile and Thawatchaia trilobata are new recorded in Loei province. The result from this study indicates that the genus richness is relatively high in Loei province which encompasses 60% of the total number of genera (10) in Thailand. The plants in vegetative phase are completely submersed in swiftly running water during a warm wet season (May-October). The plants flower and set fruits and seeds when exposing to air during water level drop in a cool dry season (November- February).
