The aim of this study was to investigate the microbiological quality of milk-shaked drinks including Bacillus cereus Escherichia coli Salmonella spp. Staphylococcus aureus yeast and molds in unsealed containers sold in market fair roadside and stall around Mahasarakham university. The analytical results revealed that microbiological quality of 30 samples of milk-shaked drinks in unsealed containers that did not pass the criteria of department of medicine ministry of public health Thailand were 50 % of total samples. Bacteriological counts of Bacillus cereus Escherichia coli Salmonella spp. And Staphylococcus aureus of milk-based drinks that did not pass the criteria were 13.3 10 13.3 and 10% of total samples respectively. Yeasts and molds counts of milk-based drinks that did not pass the criteria were 3.3 and 30% of total samples respectively. Microbiological contamination of milk-shaked drinks was related to the hygiene of the shop and the supplier. It was found that the location of stall which high dust particles and animal carriers also contributed to the contamination of microorganisms. Moreover the hygiene of the supplier may cause the milk-shaked drinks to be contaminated with microorganisms.

Foods rich in dietary fiber and antioxidants have attracted great attention to both of consumers and food manufacturers because of their significant health benefits. Increased consumption of dietary fiber improves lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Furthermore it prevent a number of gastrointestinal disorders such as constipation and hemorrhoids. Antioxidants are bioactive compounds that can delay or inhibit the oxidation by inhibiting the initiation or propagation of oxidative chain reactions. These free radical reactions cause human diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. Legumes are an excellent source of compounds having antioxidant. Hence recent research has been focused on the potential utilization of bean coat which was by-products from processing industry to the development of new functional ingredients for food nutrition enrichment. The extraction of bioactive compounds from seed coats are used as a food ingredient for various foods processing such as tofu with soybean hull fiber black bean seed coat in maize flours for the production of cookies and whole wheat bread. Therefore research and development of new functional foods from bean seed coat used as ingredient for the preparation of food products to improve food nutrition will be necessary to provide for Industrial manufacturing according to demand and sufficient for healthy food consumption in the future.

This research aims to study the physical and chemical properties of Cha-nee durian rind powder and using durian rind powder to replace wheat flour in brownie cakes at 1020 and 30% (w/w). Texture profile chemical composition and sensory evaluation of brownie cakes were analyzed. The results showed that durian rind powder contained 50% of dietary fiber. Brownie cake with durian rind powder showed significant decreasing of lightness (L*) and hardness while green-red component (a*) blue-yellow component (b*) toughness and cohesiveness values were significantly higher than the control sample (p<0.05). Proximate analysis of the products showed that brownie cake with durian rind powder had dietary fiber higher than control brownie cake sample significantly. At 30% replacing of durian rind powder brownie cake showed 18.2% increasing of dietary fiber as compared with the control sample. The acceptance score including appearance color odor flavor texture and overall scores of all samples in this study were not significant different. Results indicate that 30% of durian rind powder replacing wheat flour is appropriate for making brownie cake. Brownie cake with durian rind powder could be an alternative for food choice of healthy bakery product which are lower calorie (123.73 kcal per serving) and high amount of dietary fiber (6.37 g per serving). Moreover durian rind powder can be used as a food ingredient and source of dietary fiber in other food recipes for further study.

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).

Properties of pumice aggregate mortar blended with para rubber wood fly ash (PRWFA) replaced type 1 ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in different proportions of 020 and 40 wt.% OPC and dosed with used engine oil (UEO) in proportions of 00.2 and 0.3 wt% water were investigated. Whole mix type specimens size was cast in 555 cm and curing in ambient temperature for 7 and 28 days. Testing series of physico-mechanical properties performed on bulk density water absorption electrical resistivity Shore hardness and compressive strength were determined. Moreover microstructure via scanning electron microscope was analyzed. Effect of curing ages enhanced properties of samples such as electrical resistivity Shore hardness and compressive strength. Particularly the 28-day specimen that contained 20wt.% PRWFA and 0.2wt.% UEO provided bulk density of 1.61 g/cm3 and highest compressive strength of 22.09 MPa.
