This biopolymer-based edible packaging prototype has already been developed and tested in our lab and is now ready for piloting and industry collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations to my students for their outstanding achievement. I am incredibly proud of their dedication and innovative solutions to combat plastic pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/43-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/43-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/43-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/43-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/43-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/43.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/431-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/431-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/431-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/431-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/431-829x622.jpg 829w, https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/07\/431.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am thrilled to share that my students Mr. Ranjit Singh (PhD candidate), Mr. Daniel Rice (Master\u2019s student), Ms. Manisha Anand (PhD candidate), and Ms. Dipika Trivedi (PhD candidate) from the Food Engineering and Bioprocess Technology (FEBT) and Food Innovation, <span class=\"readmore\"><a href=\"https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/first-prize-by-students-in-the-competition-innovate-for-impact-solutions-to-combat-plastic-pollution-in-rivers-and-canals\/\">Continue Reading<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":2476,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2475"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2475"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2475\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2478,"href":"https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2475\/revisions\/2478"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2475"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faculty.ait.ac.th\/anilkumar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
