Properties of Rhizophora Charcoal for Product Design

This research investigated the properties of
Rhizophora charcoal for product design on 3 aspects: electrical
conductor, impurity absorption, and fresh fruit shelf life. After the
study, the properties of Rhizophora charcoal were applied to produce
local product model at Ban Yisarn, Ampawa District,
Samudsongkram Province which can add value to the Rhizophora
charcoal as one of the OTOP (One-Tambon-One product). The
results showed that the Rhizophora charcoal is not an electrical
conductor but good liquid impurity absorber and it can extend fresh
fruit shelf life.
