This special project aimed to determine the appropriate procedure for extending carved dye radish (CDR) and study the type for coating CDR. From the results radish was carved become to rose shape and immersed in peroxyacetic acid 0.08% and calcium choride 1.5% after that was immersed in food dye solution such as blue 0.01% 0.05% and pink 0.01% 0.05%. Then CDR was coated in three types of coating namely xanthangum gelatin and agar. From the result xanthangum has weight loss yield% firmness and color value more than galatin and agar. CDR with blue 0.01% has weight loss yield% 3.24 firmness 3.12 N color value L* 55.09±0.04 a* -20.52±0.07 b* -15.93±0.57 blue 0.05% has weight loss yield% 3.24 firmness 26.01 N color value L* 45.54±0.03 a* -25.70±0.20 b* -26.85±-0.29 pink 0.01% has weight loss yield% 3.09 firmness 23.99 N color value L* 55.03±0.11 a* 29.42±0.05 b* -0.39±0.24 and pink 0.05% has weight loss yield% 3.27 firmness 24.41 N color value L* 45.08±0.07 a* 39.75±0.27 b* 0.30±0.16. The carved radish with blue and pink storage in plastic box stored in aluminum foil at 3-4 ๐C were during 5 days. Microorganism indicated that there were no more than 1×106 colonies per 1 g of sample.

The costume design project for women in semi couture inspired by the art of ice carving sculpture aims at studying the pattern of color and texture of the ice sculptures. The models that we use as objects of study for designing the semi couture women’s costume appear in the International Ice Carving Festival in Harbin China. From what we have studied we analyze 3 areas emphasizing at the physical features and overall picture of the work. The 3 areas of analysis are the formats colors and patterns of carvings of the theme parks ice slider and the Garden of Mythology. We use the structure of the ice shapes carved out by a truncated series structure. We use white and pink color due to their sweetness and elegance which suits our target group. We also apply the patterns shapes and geometric line pattern to use in embroidering and decorating geometric acrylic sheet and ornament from crystalembroidered plastic PVC. Thus it creates uniqueness attractiveness novelty and interest. In conclusion the researchers adopts concept from the art of ice carving sculptures appeared in the International Ice Sculpture Festival in Harbin China. We design 5 sets of semi couture women’s costumes for special occasions. We use the formats colors and patterns of ice carvings to create and design the dressings in order to meet the needs as mentioned in the objectives as much as possible.

The purposes of the study were firstly to develop video program on commercial fruits and vegetables carving for accessing to ASEAN secondly to find out the video efficiency based on 80/80 criteria and lastly to survey the student satisfaction towards the video program. Samples were 30 sophomore students in Home Economics Technology under Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon in semester 2/ 2557 which were assigned to the study by simple random sampling method. The instruments used in the study were lesson assessment teaching- skill assessment and questionnaires. The data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. The study results revealed that overall both of video quality and the content were very good having mean of 4.64 and 4.51 respectively. The video program’s efficiency was 93.83/90.69 higher than 80/80 efficiency criterion. And the students satisfaction on video program was good having mean of 4.32

The objective of this research was to determine the formulation of soap for carving operations and study the satisfaction of developed carved-soap by carving person. There were 3 basic formulas of the soap e.g. olive oil formula (formula 1; 500 ml olive oil 60 g sodium hydroxide and 140 ml water) coconut oil formula (formula 2; 200 ml coconut oil 34 g sodium hydroxide and 80 ml water) and glycerin formula (formula 3; 200 g glycerin and 5 g sodium hydroxide). The basic formula 3 showed the highest satisfaction scores from carving person when compared with other formulas. The next experiment was to find the optimal temperature for heating the mixtures in the range of 40-60oC. The results showed that the temperature of 45oC was the best treatment for heating three types of soap mixtures. Moreover the formula 3 soap received the highest satisfaction scores ( X = 4.21-4.53) from carving person which had the good appearance exquisite styles shape and proportion right. There was no crack no visible of mold growth and soap powder on the product after caving operations. The satisfaction of 52 carving persons between the general soap and developed carved-soap for carving operations was studied using 5-point rating scales. The satisfaction scores of softness stickiness and aroma were significant different (p<0.05) between two types of soap. However the dryness/hardness silkiness color painting property and overall quality scores were not different. The suitable shape of soap for carving operations was a round shape followed by square shape oval shape and heart shape respectively.

The objective of this research was to find the suitable types of carving style for five fruits and vegetables e.g. pumpkin carrot radish cantaloupe and Japanese cucumber. Physiological changes and methods to improve quality and extend shelf-life were also studied. The results showed that the leave-carved operations stimulated the respiration rate ethylene production and the electrolyte leakage more than flower-carved operations. These responses depended on the size of wound and surface area that contacted with atmospheric oxygen. Two concentrations of peroxyacetic acid (60 and 80 mg/L) solutions showed the efficacy in reducing microorganism populations better than sodium hypochlorite (50 and 75 mg/L). The three firming agents of calcium chloride (0.5-1.5%) calcium lactate (0.5-2%) and calcium propionate (0.5-2%) could improve texture at different concentrations. The combination effects of peroxyacetic acid (80 mg/L) and firming agents (0.5% calcium chloride 1.5% calcium lactate and 2% calcium propionate) and/or 0.25 and 0.5% of chitosan coating were applied on rose and lotus-carved fruits and vegetables. All off flower-carved fruits and vegetables were stored at 5?1oC in clamshell container. Then they were placed in a control temperature chamber at 25?1oC every day for 3 hours until the end of shelf-life. The results showed that 0.25 and 0.5% chitosan coating had the best coating solutions for extended shelf-life of carved pumpkin carrot and cantaloupe. The control treatment dipped in tap distilled water showed the suitable treatment for rose-carved radish and lotus-carved Japanese cucumber. The best chemical treatment for each fruit and vegetable was repeated in the storage experiment and then they were stored at 5?1oC in clamshell containers to determine the shelf-life of three carved fruits and vegetables (rose carnation and lotus). The shelf-life of two styles of flower from carved pumpkin did not exceed 6 days. Carved carrot in rose and carnation flowers had shelf-life for 12 days while radish was not more than 9 days. The shelf-life of rose and carnation carved cantaloupe did not exceed 9 and 6 days respectively. Lotus-carved Japanese cucumber had shelf-life for 6 days. Carved radish and Japanese cucumber were dipped in tap distilled water which had high initial microbial population that caused the short shelf-life. Thus the application of 2% calcium propionate and 80 mg/L peroxyacetic acid was the suitable treatment for reducing microbial population and improving the appearance quality and extended shelf-life.
