The National Research Office (NRO), underneath the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation in Thailand, announced it supports the switch of durian manufacturing know-how and ripening inhibition expertise.
This assist is particularly for the local “Lap Lae Durian,” which aims to help export Thai durians to the international market. The move was initiated by Wiparat Dee-Ohng, Director of the NRO, instructing the NRO’s Information and PR staff to steer a gaggle of journalists to go to a research project area related to “Knowledge Management and Transferring Durian Production Technology for Commercial Use in Lower Northern areas.”
As part of the challenge, a group of researchers from Naresuan University, led by Associate Professor DR Peerasak Chaiyprasat, is working to extend the potential and normal of local durian varieties in high quality inspection. This will set up them as prepared for future export, providing information that farmers can adapt to their practices to supply quality products. The analysis was carried out on the Lap Lae Durian Orchard in Lap Lae district, Uttaradit province.
One necessary facet is the delay within the ripening of the trimmed durian for consumption. The package deal have to be specially designed to maintain it contemporary for a protracted time, protected for consumers, free from contamination or toxic residues, and meet international requirements, reported KhaoSod.
The challenge has demonstrated success by extending the shelf lifetime of ready durian merchandise to twenty-eight days at a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius. This prolonged shelf-life presents the potential for exporting trimmed durian merchandise, thereby rising income for farmers, revitalising the economy, and enhancing the competitiveness of exporters general.
During the go to, Supap Panlap, or Jib, owner of the Lin Laplae Durian Orchard, performed host along with the researchers led by Associate Professor Dr Peerasak. Wacky grows a quantity of varieties of durian, namely Lin Laplae, Lhong Laplae, and Mhorn Thong, which originate from Jib’s grandfather, Lin Poomlad, known as the origin of the well-known “Lin Laplae Durian” of Laplae Town.
The famed Lin Laplae Durian Orchard also benefits from the information and manufacturing and ripening inhibition applied sciences for durians from this research challenge..
