          New Probiotic Product to Prevent Tooth Decay comes in the form of milk, powdered milk, tablets, and yogurt. This innovation involves selecting a strain of microorganisms originating from the human oral cavity (Lactobacillus paracasei SD1) to create health products for oral care. It has properties that inhibit the growth of Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus, bacteria responsible for tooth decay. It adheres well to the oral mucosa and produces less acid compared to other strains that inhibit the growth of decay-causing bacteria at similar levels. This innovation is highly beneficial for the oral health of Thai people, especially young children, and can significantly reduce treatment costs associated with tooth decay, such as fillings, dentures, and scaling.<\/span><\/p>

          Frozen Mango Ice Cream <\/strong> is a frozen fruit product that retains the true delicious flavor of Nam Dok Mai mangoes, 100% fresh, as if you were eating mangoes just picked from the tree.

It has a long shelf life of up to 5 years, allowing you to enjoy mangoes anytime, even out of season. This product generated over 20 million baht in sales in 2019 and helps alleviate market oversupply issues, increasing the value of Thai mangoes by 10-15 times, from a fresh price of 10-120 baht per kilogram to 1,000-1,500 baht per kilogram.

It maintains its cooling effect for up to 2 hours and forms a thin, transparent film on the skin without leaving residue. It can also repel mosquitoes and insects, with a refreshing scent, making it ideal for tourists facing Thailand's hot weather.

          Cleanradex Eyelid: Eyelid and Eyelash Cleaning Product from Thai Rice Many may wonder why there is a need for an eyelid cleaning product when we already wash our faces with cleansing products. However, it has been found that in recent years, a significant number of Thai people suffer from dry eye syndrome, with rates as high as 70-80%. This led to research and development of Thai rice and coconut oil into an eyelid cleaning product. Rice contains Ricecoside, a cleaning agent or Green Surfactant that helps remove dirt and oil around the eyes, effectively eliminating eyelash mites, a primary cause of dry eyes. Additionally, it undergoes green technology processes, free from harmful chemicals, making it suitable for gentle cleaning. This innovation adds approximately 20 times the value to Thai rice, generating continuous sales growth of over 25 million baht per year and providing additional income to farmers and communities.<\/span><\/p>
