The objective of this research was to design and development of a continuous flow paddy dryer with infrared radial radiation technique. The prototype of dryer consists of two concentric circular cylinders cylinders which the paddy drying chamber is height of 1 m. The inner cylinder has diameter of 26.5 cm made from glasses and outer cylinder has diameter of 29.5 cm made from perforated (1.75 mm) steel sheet. At the center of cylinders installed 1200 w of electric infrared heater. A hopper was installed on the top of the chamber while 120 w of blower and paddy flow control were installed at bottom of chamber. The performance of the dryer in terms of specific energy consumption (SED) drying rate (DR) and quality of paddy i.e. head rice yield (HRY) and whiteness index (WI) were evaluated by drying 15 kg of paddy with initial moisture content of 23-26% (w.b.) by using the drying conditions of 80oC of drying chamber temperature 1.075 m3/min of air flow rate and 0.837 1.228 1.875 and 2.308 kg/min of paddy flow rate. The results found that paddy flow rate at 1.875 kg/min is the optimum condition because gave the highest DR lowest SEC and rice qualities (HRY and WI) closely to control.

The research has developed the recipes and methods of producing chili curry green curry coconut milk red curry (Southern) and sour curry. The curry paste mixed with shrimp paste to make it convenient and to use. Learn how to mold chili curry the use of stainless steel blocks in forming the most convenient. Drying temperature of 65°C 2-stage and 11-hour drying time. The quality and physical chemical microbiological and sensory characteristics of chilli curry also passed the standard of community products. The design of packaging for cube green curry cube coconut milk curry (southern) and cube sour curry paste were the most accepted among Khuan Prai community members. To use the recipes for commercial distribution continues. A study of consumer acceptance of cube chili curry products. It was found that 150 general consumers accepted 100% Shelf life of 5 months was from April to August 2018. It was found that cube curry had a number of yeasts. Exceeded the standard in 5 months Red Curry (Southern) and Red Curry are also standard products. The research was conducted on September 1-2 2018 at Khuan Prai community enterprise Phunphin Surat Thani. 25 people can make cube chili curry products. It will also scale up the product to the community for distribution

Sweet tamarind is a unique and economic plant of Phetchaboon province and it has already been geographical indication (GI) registered. One of its main problems is fungal degeneration which cannot be physically visible. This causes the consumer’s uncertainty on its quality especially sweet tamarind from small communities. This led to the study on the use of household heat to reduce fungal degeneration by steaming at 100oC for 50 60 70 and 80 minutes and drying in the hot air oven at 70oC for 3 hours. It was found that increasing the heat resulted in darkening the sweet tamarind color and heightening up its content moisture (p<0.05) statistical significance. Drying temperature at 60 70 and 80oC revealed the higher the heat the shorter the drying time and the sweet tamarind content was darker. In addition drying significantly decreased the moisture and preference score of sweet tamarind (p<0.05). The storage of sweet tamarind in mesh bag at ambient temperature revealed that the increase of the storage time resulted in a significant increase in the moisture of the sweet tamarind shell (p<0.05) and could preserve the tamarind for at least 12 weeks without the deterioration from the fungus.

The study of Crispy Lotus-Stem bakesby drying oven. The purpises of this study were to create create crispy lotus-stem recipe and the production process of crispy lotus-stem by drying oven. This study was to quantify amount of lotus-stem and Stabilizing agent that appropriate to produces crispy lotus-stem. Was conducted in 3 recipes (depend on ratio (%) of quantity lotus-stem: Stabilizing agent) are following 1) 95:5 2) 95:5 and 3) 95:5. Our study found that the ratio of lotus-stem: Tapiocastarch which appropriate to produces crispy lotus-stem were 95:5.Moreover this ratio was accepted mostly and after tasted the water activity aw values= 0.349the Crispyness values= 1753 and the Spectrophotometer values = (L*) 34.39(a*) 4.12 and (b*) 8.31 the chemical analysis found that fiber = 31.89% protein = 3.87% fat = 23.98% moisture = 2.65% and ash = 4.35% The study of temperature and duration to bake crispy lotus-stem by drying oven at 60 70 and 80 degree Our showed the appropriate temperature and duration to bake crispy lotus-stem by drying oven was 1 hour 30 minutes crispy Lotus-stem products by Drying Oven can Keep at room temperature degree Celsius for a period of 30 days.

This paper aimed to study the process of making instant Pad Thai powder by Spray Drying method. The appropriate temperature of hot gas and the quantity of Maltodextrin in processing instant Pad Thai powder by Spray Drying method were studied. Factorial in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used. The study found that the appropriate quantity of Maltodextrin was 20% and the appropriate temperature for in and out hot gas was 150/90 ºC. The color variation of the finishing instant Pad Thai powder was as follow: Bright colors L* 88.32 Red a* 0.99 Yellow b* 8.26. The color variation after cooking the product was: Bright colors L* 30.73 Red a* 3.08 Yellow b* 8.25. aw 0.22. The moisture of the powder was 1.24. Then the consumer satisfaction was studied by using 3 types of Pad Thai Noodles; Pad Thai Noodles with Instant pad Thai Powder Pad Thai Noodles with regular Pad Thai sauce and Pad Thai Noodles sold in general market. Randomized Complete Block Design RCBD was used. The study of the consumer satisfaction revealed that there was no difference between pad Thai Noodles made with Instant Pad Thai Powder and Pad Thai Noodles made with regular Pad Thai sauce at the statistical significance (p>0.05). The testers rated the overall taste of Pad Thai Noodles at 7.57. Next the researcher studied the expiration period of Instant Pad Thai Powder by packing the product in double vacuum foil and storage the product at 4 different temperatures 30 35 45 and 55 degree Celsius. Then the product was studied to evaluate the physical chemical microorganism and sensory property. The product kept at 55 ºC was the most different of the four storage products at p ≥ 0.05 with the highest level of consumer satisfaction at color = 7.33 smell = 7.30 taste = 7.90 texture = 7.57 and total = 7.40. The amount of microorganism yeast and fungus were at the safe level to comsume.
