In this study the mao berry marc which was divided into 5 varieties including Fapratan Phusung Phupanthong Yaykhamta and mixed variety were dried in tray dryer at low temperature (50?C) and high temperature (60?C) for 72 hr. All samples were investigated their properties including yield color water activity pH tannin total phenolic total anthocyanin antioxidant activity in term of %DPPH activity total microorganism and yeast & mold content. It was found that the yield color in term of ?h aw tannin and anthocyanin content of low temperature drying sample showed the highest value. However the total microorganism and yeast & mold content of high temperature drying samples were not present in all samples which less than those recommended in the Thai Community Product Standard (dried fruits: 136/2003). Eight trained-panelists were used for Hedonic scale (1-9 point) sensory evaluation including clarity color odor taste and overall linking of high temperature drying samples were similar in five varieties (P>0.05).

The objective of this research was to compare the effectiveness of water hyacinth and cootail for wastewater treatment by taking water sample from Klong Bangkhen-mai near King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok. The results showed that there was no diifference on water temperature changes in tanks between two plants. pH of water in coontail tanks was between pH 8.69 to pH 8.91 and pH of water in water hyacinth tanks was slightly increasing between pH 7.71 to pH 8.26. The more amount of coontail added the higher DO would be between 9.18 mg/L to 10.02 mg/L. Moreover COD of water was decreasing according to the amount of cootail addition and more effective than that in water hyacinth tank especially in 150 grams coontail tanks but TS in water hyacinth tanks was much more decreasing than that in coontail tanks. TS was between 21.73 mg/L to 25.91 mg/L. COD was between 45.30 mg/L to 48.34 mg/L.

The research aimed to study the processing of fish tofu from fresh water fish such as Pla Pluang Hin (Neolissochilus stracheyi) Pla Jad (Hypsibarbus malcolmi) and Pla Mum (Scanphiodonichthys acanthopterus) that are usually found in Bo-klue district Nan province. These three fresh water fish tofu were compared with tofu from Threadfin bream (Nemipterus hexodon) that was a commercial raw material of fish tofu. The fish tofus were experimented on 1) physical attributes 2) chemical compositions and 3) sensory preference. The physical attributes of color size amount of air bubble and firmness were studied. The results showed that lightness (L) of tofu from Pla Pluang Hin and Pla Jad was higher than Pla Mum and Threadfin bream. Threadfin bream tofu showed the highest redness (a*). There was not difference in the yellowness (b*) of all fish tofu. The sizes of the air bubbles in four fish tofu products were between 1.3 to 1.6 mm. which was 80% of air bubble amounts found in a square centimeter. The firmness of all fresh water fish tofu was lower than Threadfin bream tofu. The Percentage of moisture ash fat and protein contents were between 74.2 to 75.7 2.1 to 3.2 0.5 to 3.6 and 21.1 to 25.5 percent respectively. The sensory attribute acceptance of three types fresh water fish tofu were not significant to Threadfin bream tofu. The products were accepted at level of moderate to high preference.
