Most experts commented that should develop the product design from carved soap to difference from another one in the market. In addition the problem of creating product design from carved soap should be explain how to use chemicals to help maintaining. Then developmental guidelines should provide a number of useful uses and show polyester resurfacing on carved soap it is suitable because of keeping them were not broken. Moreover the polyester resin coating is too thick it was effect pattern craving more clearly Finally they chose the second sketching ideas because the product can hang on the wall and put in the table. It is quite look natural. 2. The samples opinions on the products of carved soap as a gift found that the design at the high level the average was at 4 . 1 5 .

The objective of this research to study the basic formulas of tamarind paste products. The results of the study were as follows. The evaluated for likeness as 9-point hedonic scale by an untrained 50 member panel. Consumers rate the taste of tamarind paste at a very like level (8). Subsequently Tamarind substitution of 25 50 and 75% by weight of tamarind was found at the level of 75% substitution. Basic tamarind paste has a pH value of 4.20. Tamarind with karanda of 4.49 (p <0.05). Basic tamarind paste has water activity (aw) of 0.81 and tamarind with karanda of 0.83 (p> 0.05). The color of the basic tamarind paste was L * (brightness) (37.0) a * (redness) (5.26) b * (yellow) (12.28) (P> 0.05) The chemical compositions of tamarind with karnda were 237 kilocalories of total energy 10.7 percent of protein 11.5 percent of fat 10.7 percent of ash 4.77 percent of carbohydrates 23.7 percent of dietary fiber 5.20 percent of moisture 49.3 percent Iron content 1.71% total phenolic compounds 1.49 mg / g gallic acid and antioxidant activity 4.6

The research purposes were aimed to study the demand for Thai scented popped rice packaging to develop Thai scented popped rice products of a handicraft community in Bang Kaew Sub-district Bang Phli District Samutprakarn Province and transfer the obtained knowledge to the interested one and community. The population and samples of the research study on the demand for Thai scented popped rice packaging product development from a handicraft community in Bang Kaew SubdistrictBang Phli District Samutprakarn Province were 50 handicraft workers including 38 womenmostly housewives and 12 men. Most of their professions were labors aged between 31 and 60years old. The samples that were 31-40 years old were accounting for 20 percent 41-50 years oldaccounting for 44 percent and 51-60 years old accounting for 20 percent of the group. The research tools used to collect data was the questionnaire administered to evaluate the satisfaction of the Thai scented popped rice packaging. The results of the study revealed their needs on these following features: the materials used in the production of Thai scented popped rice packaging to have a mixture of paper and plastic accounting for 54 percent and the environmental -friendly packaging accounting for 26 percent. In terms of the packaging size 64 percent of the group agreed with the size of 21.0x29.7 cm (A4) and 36 percent for 14.85x21.0 cm (A5). Concerning the objectives of the use of the Thai scented popped rice products 66 % was used as presents and 34% as souvenirs. In relation to the distributing location 54 percent believed the products should be available in the provincial souvenir shop and pricing should base on the size of Thai scented popped rice packaging: 21.0x29.7 cm. (A4) priced 500-800 Baht accounting for 36% and 14.85x21.0 cm. (A5) priced 200-300 baht or accounting for 30 percent. The majority of the 30 participants were female accounting for 10.00% aged 46-55 years old or 46.67% revealed in the evaluation that their satisfaction regarding the project was at the highest level with the mean of 4.65 or 91.67%.

The objective of this research was to find the suitable processes of carved-vegetables which packed in hermetically sealed container. Two vegetables were composed of carrot and pumpkin. There were carved into rose or leaf shape. An optimum ratio of 2 recipes of pickle solution were studied. The first one was a recipe which acidified with lactic acid (acidified-recipe) to pH <4.6. Another one was a recipe supplemented with preservative (preservative-added recipe). The results showed that an optimum ratio for acidified-recipe was composed of 7.23% vinegar 64.81% water 0.81% salt 27.00% sugar and 0.15% lactic acid which showed the final pH was 3.27. For preservative-added recipe an optimum ratio was composed of 27.03% vinegar 27.03% water 0.9% salt 45.05% sugar and 200 ppm sodium metabisulfite which showed the final pH was 3.39. Carrot pumpkin green papaya and cucumber were sanitized in peroxyacetic acid (80 mg/L 3 min). Radish was dipped in tap water for 3 min. Then all carved-vegetables were immersed in calcium chloride solution (0.5% 2 min) before preserved in acidified-recipe solution in plastic box with a lid and then stored at room temperature for 4 days. Equilibrium time pH and °Brix were studied. The results showed that pH and °Brix were decrease during 4 days storage and showed obviously tended to equilibrium. However carved-radish and cucumber were spoiled by microorganisms as a film on the surface of pickle solution and gas bubble was occurred inside a container on 4 days of the storage. Hence three carved-vegetables including carrot pumpkin and radish were used in the next experiment which preserved in preservative-added recipe. Treatment was compared with the same recipe without preservative as the control. All types of carved-vegetables had an equilibrium time for 7 days. Three parts of samples e.g. pickle solution carved-vegetables and mixed-sample showed pH lower than 4.6 and °Brix were gradually decreased during the storage. Shelf-life of all carved-vegetables stored in hermetically sealed container was up to 7 days. Total bacteria count E. coli yeast-mold were not exceeded than the standard limited by Ministry of Public Health and Staphylococcus aureus was not detected throughout 7 days of the storage.
