The purpose of the qualitative study was to seek for on guidelines for increasing productivity of organic products (vegetables) of Thamsua community members in Kaeng Krachan Phetchaburi Province. Data collection was done through observation interview and document analysis. The samples were 10 leaders and members of Organic Product Division of Thamsua Community in Kaeng Krachan Phetchaburi. The research results revealed that problems and obstacles in increasing the organic product were the lack of worker and continuity to produce goods for distributing to meet the market demand. The solution could be done by increasingly distributing products the surrounding communities to meet the needs and quality control standard of the market. In terms of the management the community should have a clear management plan and appoint a committee to co-ordinate its policies plans regulations and management. They could invite other members from neighboring communities to be involved. As for the solutions for the production and product diversification external agencies might be asked to participate in the productivity enhancement such as public or private sectors and educational institutions for example. The government might be in charge of supporting for career development and income private sectors for more marketing channels while educational institutions might support for knowledge needed for increasing the productivity. Concerning marketing solutions for more distribution channels online marketing should be set up by coordinating with private sectors to provide additional distribution channels such as organizing product display booths with public and private sectors. Financial and accounting solutions for the lack of management funding sources should be organized through the community savings such as the Cooperative Community Enterprise or Provincial Cooperative office to e involved in accounting management to create systematic financial management.

The study aimed to :1) create a standard formula for frozen rice berry flour Khnom Tien 2) study the defrosting process using a microwave and 3) evaluate consumers’ acceptance. The physical properties sensory evaluation chemical composition and microbiological quality were studied. To create the formula substitution of riceberry flour for sticky rice flour at 20 30 and 40% weight per weight were used and studied. It was found that Khnom Tien with 20% of rice berry flour in substitution for sticky rice flour was accepted most on appearance smell taste and overall appearance but texture (stickiness) was accepted at “a little level”. To improve the texture arrowroot flour was added to increase amylopectin. The result showed that the addition of 7.5% arrowroot flour for the total flour weight was most accepted in all aspects. The results of the physical quality analysis indicated that the stickiness value was to that of the basic formula. The standard formula of riceberry Khnom Tien contained 80% sticky- rice flour 20 % of rice berry flour to sticky- rice flour (w/w) 7.5% of arrowroot flour to the total flour weight(sticky rice flour and riceberry flour weight)500g palm sugar and 800g Gnaphalium affine juice. Microwaving at 600 watts for 2 minutes or at 800 watts for 1.30 minutes could be used in defrosting Khnom Tien. The product could be kept for 60 days at -18 ºc; none of the microorganism yeast or mold was found. One hundred grams of the product provided 249.4kcal energy 5.17g carbohydrate 1.12 fat 3.66g protein 0.41g fiber and 0.81mg anthocyanin. The consumers accepted the product at “much” and “moderate” levels; 95% of them were interested in buying the product sold in a department store/ supermarket at 36 baht for one plastic box containing 4 pieces of Khnom Tien.

The objectives of this study were :1) to evaluate the basic information :2) to determine the operational status and problems and :3) to study the potential development guidelines for the operation of community enterprises of food processing groups in Samut Prakran Province. Samples selected by stratified random sampling technique were 112 members of community enterprises in Samut Prakran Province. These samples was drawn from the presidents of community enterprises of food processing in Samut Prakran Province which were assessed as the good level in potential operation. Data collection were done by using questionnaire technique while the data were analyzed with frequency percentage mean and standard deviation. The results revealed that the assessment of potential operation of the community enterprises of food processing groups 268 in Samut Prakran Province were at the good level of 114 the average level of 117 and the improvement level of 20. The community enterprises had strong intention to the strengthening of communities and the supportive system from the partite participation consisted of knowledge and developing budget. The overall of operational status was at a high level while the overall of operational problem was at a low level. The potential development guidelines for the operation of community enterprises of food processing groups in Samut Prakran Province were ;1) planning approach: making master plan for all sub-district ;2) organization structure approach: overall operation review with all of members ;3) personnel management approach: creating morale for work performance of personnel together ;4) marketing approach: producing products to meet market needs ;5) production approach: supporting the production knowledge by government sectors and ;6) accounting/ financial approach: making real income and expense accounts.

This study aimed to investigate 1. the process of development of semi readymade mackerel chili paste. 2. to study consumer acceptance of semi readymade mackerel chili paste product. 2 groups of population were used in the study: 10 experts and 100 students of Rajamangala University of Technology Krungthep. In selecting the basic formula for standard mackerel chili paste Randomize Complete Block Design (RCBD) was used to evaluate the overall sensory quality color flavor texture and appearance. A 9-point Hedonic Scale rating found that formula 1 had the highest score. The semi readymade mackerel chili paste was made by baking mackerel by hot air at 90 80 and 70 degrees Celsius for 3 4 and 5 hours respectively. Other ingredients were baked in hot air at 65 degrees Celsius for 3 hours then mixed with dried mackerel. It was found that drying mackerel in hot air oven using to degrees Celsius for 5 hours received highest score. When the semi readymade mackerel chili paste was reconstituted the product was mixed mixed with water in proportions of 1:1 1:2 and 1:3 respectively. The 1:2 proportion resembled most standard mackerel chili paste. The semi-finished mackerel was measured in color. Chemical analysis showed protein was ash were 63.42% fat was 5.59% moisture content 4.31% moisture content 6.02% fiber content and 11.30% ash content.

Objectives of this research are to study 1) method of cooking preserved substandard bananas 2) proper amount of preserved bananas in banana custard cake 3) acceptance of banana custard cake 4) length of time banana custard cake could be kept in refrigerated temperature. This study used (p0.05) statistically difference. When substandard bananas were cooked for 15 30 and 45 minutes evaluators accepted the preserved bananas cooked for 45 minutes with the best all around score. In studying the proper amount of preserved bananas in banana custard 0 : 100 50 : 50 80 : 20 and 100 : 0 ratios of banana to palm sugar ; it was found that evaluators accepted as statistically different the ratio of 80 : 20 preserved bananas to palm sugar. In studying acceptance of banana custard cake the ratio of sponge cake to banana custard 15 : 15 grams 10 : 20 grams and 5 : 25 grams ; it was found that evaluators accepted as statistically different the ratio of sponge cake to banana custard 10 : 20 grams with the best all around score. In studying the length of time the banana custard cake could be kept in refrigerated temperature at 5±2 degrees Celsius for 3 weeks. The yeast and mold counts were 219 (CFU/g). Therefore the banana custard cake could be kept 2 weeks in a refrigerator.
