industry. However instead of but Aloctin A is<br />
heat labile, environmental sensitive and all<br />
activities will be lost within one day. The Aloe<br />
Vera powder which contains the same properties<br />
of the fresh Aloe Vera gel is in a great demand<br />
for stability with high quality. The freeze-dried<br />
Aloe Vera processing has been developed and<br />
implemented at the Production Services,<br />
Industrial Park, KMUTT. The preliminary<br />
results show one ton of Aloe Vera produced 300<br />
kg of outer skin, 676 kg of Aloe Vera flesh or<br />
gel with 24 kg of mucous. The 676 kg of Aloe<br />
Vera flesh or gel produced 37.6 kg of freeze<br />
dried Aloe Vera powder. The quality of freezedried<br />
Aloe Vera has been undertaken to compare<br />
with the fresh Aloe Vera gel. The preliminary<br />
study on chemical properties has been done and<br />
shown nearly the same as the fresh one. The<br />
waste utilization and clean production on freezedried<br />
Aloe Vera has been proposed for further<br />
study to gain the value added and make it<br />
feasible for the commercial production.<br />

Kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix DC.) is one<br />
of the important medicinal herbs used in<br />
Thailand’s traditional medicine. Kaffir lime and<br />
its derivatives including Kaffir Lime juice,<br />
Kaffir lime peel and Kaffir lime oil provides a<br />
whole range of medicinal properties. Kaffir lime<br />
oil the main aromatic oil from peel, is<br />
comprised, betapinine and d-limonene is<br />
suggested to have cancer-chemopreventive and<br />
anticarcinogenic properties, making it a potential<br />
for use as a medicinal herb.The main objective<br />
in this study was to investigate waste utilization<br />
on freeze-dried Kaffir lime powder processing<br />
resulting on whole range commercial utilization<br />
for spa and aromatherapy. Technology has<br />
already been developed in which freeze-dried<br />
Kaffir lime powder retains the same quality of<br />
fresh Kaffir lime juice. Freeze-dried Kaffir lime<br />
powder processing in this study include Kaffir<br />
lime powder processing, Kaffir lime oil<br />

extraction and Kaffir lime peel processing. The<br />
designed production process has considered the<br />
wastes from Kaffir lime powder production<br />
process. The waste utilization process has been<br />
divided into three sequential processes. The first<br />
one is Kaffir lime oil extraction from the peels<br />
(exocarp), done by squeezing oil from the Kaffir<br />
lime peels followed by steam extraction and<br />
grinded exocarp drying for spa and<br />
aromatherapy. The second process is Kaffir<br />
lime endocarp drying and grinding into powder<br />
or cut into small piece for spa. The third process<br />
is Kaffir lime seed grinding followed by drying<br />
for bio-repellant. The residues from steam<br />
extraction and other wastes from the extraction<br />
process can be used as bio-fertilizers. The result<br />
showed zero discharge by the end of the process.<br />
The clean production on freeze-dried Kaffir lime<br />
powder processing has been implemented by the<br />
Production Services Unit, Industrial Park,<br />
KMUTT. The results showed one ton of Kaffir<br />
lime fruits produced 80 kg of Kaffir lime juice,<br />
16 kg of Kaffir lime seed, 300 kg of Kaffir lime<br />
peel and 604 kg of Kaffir lime endocarp. The 80<br />
kg of Kaffir lime juice produced 13.5 kg of<br />
freeze-dried Kaffir lime powder, 300 kg of the<br />
Kaffir lime peel produced 6 L of Kaffir lime<br />
essential oil and 160 kg of dry-grinded Kaffir<br />
lime exocarp, 16 kg of Kaffir lime seed<br />
produced 12 kg of dry-grinded Kaffir lime seed<br />
as bio-repellant, 604 kg of Kaffir lime endocarp<br />
produced 240 kg of dried Kaffir lime endocarp.<br />
The results showed high productivity and low<br />
environmental impact with the developed freezedried<br />
Kaffir lime powder processing. The<br />
product development for spa and aromatherapy<br />
are in further study.<br />
