The purposes of this research are to investigate 1) personal factors contributing to the longevity of elderly 2) the dietary behavior of long-living elderly and 3) the relationship between personal factors such as:gender age BMI and dietary behavior. The samples are 29 of long-living elderly with ages more than 80 years old living in Tambon Tha Phi Liang Muang district Suphanburi province. The long-living elderly must be able to answer the questions. The statistics used to analyze data in this research are frequency percentage and Chi-Square (χ2). The data were analyzed using statistical tools. As for thier dietary behavior it was found that most long-living elderly usually have five food groups:eggs UHT milk paddy morning glory cabbage watermelon papaya and vegetable oils. They purchased these five groups of food for consumption. Boiling was the main method of cooking. They usually stored food in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. The relationship between personal factors and dietary behavior could be classified into 5 areas : types of food frequency of consumption sources of food methods of cooking and methods of food preservation. The finding found that gender age and BMI were related with food consumption. However cooking (boiling) was not related with statistically significant level at .05.

It was found that examinees accepted at level of 20 per cent which was in the level from moderate to very much favor (7-8). When the researcher studied the physical features of sauce product it was found that pH value at which was 25 degrees Celsius was in range of 3.90 3.49 3.83 and 2.73. The viscosity value was 4650cp 32639cp 37760cp and 612cp or centipoints respectively. Nutritional value of sauce product it was found that tomato sauce which has been added with water melon peel for 15 per cent has total calory for 70 per cent protein for less than 1.25 per cent fat for 0 per cent ash for 1.43 per cent carbohydrate for 17.5 per cent and moisture amount of 81.1 per cent. Chili sauce which is added with water melon peel for 9 per cent has total energy for 71.2 per cent; protein is less than 1.25 per cent fat is 0 per cent ash is 3.85 per cent; carbohydrate is 17.8 per cent and it has moisture amount of 78.4 per cent. Pizza sauce which is addedwith water melon peel for 30 per cent has total energy for 145 per cent; protein is less than 1.25 per cent fat is 3.49 per cent ash is 3.18 per cent; carbohydrate is 28.5 per cent and it has moisture amount of 64.8 per cent.

However adding of water melon peel into four kinds of sauce products can be done but it should be realized about chemical components of starting components for example moisture amount and carbohydrate. These components may affect physical features for example smell flavor and texture. These features affect acceptance of products. From technology transfer of sauce products from water melon rind at 157/16 moo 9 Kao San housewife Group agricultural enterprise Bang Plee Bang Pla Samut Prakarn. 50 housewife Group agricultural there the level of satisfaction in every aspect.
