The project aimed to construct and disseminate knowledge on banana flour and food products through media; to transfer technology by conducting the workshop training on banana flour and food products and to follow up knowledge implementation for community market testing. Project was done by preparing contents materials equipments sites taking photos gathering data producing original media producing VCD training need analysis preparing training program evaluating and following up the training achievement. The result of the project was found that 500 VCD cases were constructed for 85 trainees. Percentages of the project achievement was 99.16%. There was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test of the knowledge at .05 level. Mean of the achievement in creating quality work was at 4.30. The achievement percentages of implementing how to make banana flour baked dessert and Thai dessert for community market testing was 12.5%.

This project has three main purposes: to provide training courses for producing and packaging of food textile craft and handicraft community products; to conduct a workshop for initial quality evaluation of community products and their packages; and to encourage the community to develop its products according to Thai Community Product Standard. The methodology of the project included assessing need for technology transfer; preparing the project; appointing the committee; recruiting trainees; inviting speakers; preparing instructors documents place and facilities; conducting the training course; and following up project achievement. Results from the 20 training courses with 204 target trainees revealed satisfaction in training at the level of 83.20%. About 46.15% of the trainees were ready for the community product standard guarantee and 33.17% were able to create new careers.

The purposes of this research were to develop 10 items of the packages of bakery’s banana flour and to conduct the technology transfer of those packages for the community. The research process involves with package pattern analysis monitoring and operating package design making package sample evaluating package sample finishing the package target group setting creating the research methodology investigating need analysis training course setting conducting the training course and data analysis. The results of the study were 10 styles of the packages. It was found that the mean of the satisfaction evaluation was at 3.76. Need analysis for bakery courses are mostly found in brownies. There was significantly difference between pre-test and post-test scores of the experiment at 0.05 level of significance. The mean of the groups’ achievement evaluation was at 3.95-4.18. Program and training process evaluation was qualified as the mean was 4.62 and 4.54 respectively.

The purposes of this operation research were to develop the packages of Thai herbal cookies and to conduct the technology transfer of Thai herbal cookies’ packages for the community. The research process which involves with packages’ pattern analysis monitoring and operating packages’ design making packages’ sample evaluating packages’ sample finishing the package target group setting creating the research methodology investigating need analysis training course setting conducting the training course and data analysis. The results of the study were 11 styles of herbal cookies’packages. The mean of the achievement in satisfaction evaluation was at 3.92. Need analysis for cookies courses are found in lemon grass cookies kaffir lime leaves cookies ginger cookies mixed herbal flavour and coriander cookies respectively. There was significantly difference between pre-test and post-test scores of the experiment at 0.05 level of significance. The mean of the groups๛ achievement evaluation was at 3.50-4.49. Program and training process evaluation qualified as the mean of the products and their packages was 4.28 and 4.34 respectively.
