Thailands food processing industry is a important driving force in the economy of the nation. Their attractiveness of the industry dynamically generated employment and the intensity of competition at the same violence that increased its competitive advantage in the industry its important to bring the success and survival of a business. Earlier this competitive advantage has been studied and discussed widely both a cost advantage and the advantage of making a difference products and services. Currently there are more studies on the part of the competitive advantage that is consistent with the competitive situation that is highly dynamic. In this study was to review the literature that relevance to the dynamics competitive advantage in the food processing industry in Thailand. Therefore this article is useful for entrepreneurs executives in food processing industry as well as for the scholars who are interested in this line of research.

Student satisfactory survey in Food Processing courses held at Rajamangala university of Technology Srivijaya was carried out. Twenty four undergraduate students in the program of Food Science and Technology were selected and evaluated the questions based on course content course material teaching techniques; lectures and practical part report and presentation and field trip.The satisfactory on the course content was found to be very high level. Teaching techniques were found to be no statistically significant (p<0.05). However students had the most preference toward the lectures giving by using Power Point Presentation as a teaching technique. On the other hand practical part of the course was found to be very useful appropriate in daily life and important skill for a professional food scientist. Notablyreport and presentation was very useful to improve English reading Thai editing and presentation skill. Field trip study was suggested to be significantly additional learning experience as well as course assignment presentation. In addition good relation between lectures and students had highly significant important for enhancing learning process.

The objectives of this research were to study the effect of hot air velocity on the changes of the moisture content and temperature of preserved tomatoes undergoing combined conveyor system and hot air drying. Specific energy consumption physical properties in term of color and shrinkage and sensory evaluation of dried preserved tomatoes were also investigated. The preserved cherry tomatoes were dried at a drying temperature of 80oc and hot air velocity of 2 and 4 m/s until the moisture contents of the preserved tomatoes were lower than 18% wet basis. The experimental results showed that the hot air velocity had effect on the changes of the moisture content and temperature of preserved tomatoes. Specific energy consumption total color difference shrinkage percentage and sensory evaluation results of dried preserved tomatoes of the hot air velocity of 2 and 4 m/s were not significantly different (P>0.05).Moreover the dried preserved tomatoes obtained from this research had significantly lower sensory scores in term of color and appearance than those obtained from the local market (P≤0.05). However sensory scores in term of flavor texture and overall preference of the dried preserved tomatoes obtained from this research and the local market were not significantly different (P>0.05).

At the present the studies on the Mahachanok jam product is limited. The objective of this research was to study in the textural syneresis and sensory characteristics of Mahachanok jam from three types of geldings (pectin galactomannan and carrageenan) and different storage conditions (room temperature 4o C) for 1 month. It was found that the gel strength rupture strength and brittleness of the Mahachanok jam from carrageenan and galactomannan were higher than pectin (p≤0.05). When the jam was stored at 4oC jam from pectin had highest brittleness and jam from galactomannan had syneresis more than carrageenan and pectin (p≤0.05) respectively. The jam was stored at 4o C found that the syneresis was lower than stored at room temperature. For sensory evaluation the overall acceptance of Mahachanok jam from pectin and carrageenan were higher than galactomannan with the mean of like score between slight to moderate.

Bakery Products Development from the Banana Pseudo-stems and Waste from Dried Banana Production at Ban Bang Ta Chom Community Enterprise Sing Buri Province for Sustainable Commerce. Research on bakery product development from paprika and bananas in Production of Dried Banana of Bang Ta Chom Housewife Community Enterprise Group Sing Buri province for sustainable commercialization in order to: 1. Develop bakery products from 4 types of Banana Pseudo-stems and Waste 2. study the formulas and production processes of bakery products from Banana Pseudo-stems and Waste 3. study the consumer test of bakery products from 4 types of Banana Pseudo-stems and Waste and 4. To transfer technology Little Bakery products from Banana Pseudo-stems and Waste then bring the shelf life in conditions ranging from 0-10 days and compare the physical properties. Chemical and microorganisms such as pH value color measurement and total number of microorganisms found that Khanom Jeen noodles stored in modified atmosphere conditions have longer shelf life than those stored. At normal atmospheric conditions and vacuum conditions. Chemical analysis results showed that the bakery products decreased their pH over time. With values between 4.31 ± 0.00 and 2.99 ± 0.01 and bakery products Stored at 100% carbon dioxide (CO2) modified atmosphere packed in a sealed nylon / PET vacuum plastic bag. Store at room temperature. Can be stored for up to 10 days and found that the total number of microbes increased when the storage life is longer But not over the standard of community products so the products are safe and not harmful to consumers. Consumer test results show that consumers like and are interested in buying bakery products that use 100 percent carbon dioxide (CO2) at 75 percent.
