The stability study of salad dressing products from rice berry broken rice is aimed to study the appropriate amount of vinegar of thick salad dressing from riceberry broken rice. Broken Riceberry rice is further developed by studying the stability by using different amounts of lecithin by soybean lecithin content of 0.15 % Then the physical quality was found that the thickened salad dressing from broken riceberry using soy lecithin was a stabilizing substance with reddish-brown color with brightness (L*) 39.34 ± 0.07 red color value (a*) 11.48 ± 0.04 and yellow value (b*) 5.56 + 0.53. Salad dressing has a soluble solids 33.17 + 0.29 (ºBrix) consistency of stabilization value is 11.48 ± 0.04 cm. pH 3.60 ± 0.01 and titratable acidity 0.43 ± 0.02 %.

The purpose of this research was to study the temperature of burning surf clam shell for soil quality improvement. The experiment was divided two parts 1) the study of the optimum temperature for calcium oxide production by burning 800 900 1000 and 1100 °C 2) the study of using calcium oxide to improve soil qualities of acidic soil and saline soil. The parameters used in the analysis included elements of soil particles soil moisture pH conductivity total content nitrogen phosphorus and potassium. The results showed that the optimum temperature for the production of calcium oxide was 1100 °C since it provided the highest calcium oxide content of 90 % by weight. After applying calcium oxide into acidic soil the composition of soil particles was changed from sandy clay to sandy clay loam. In contrast the soil particle was not changed but the proportion was changed in saline soil. It was also found that calcium oxide reduced soil moisture and influenced the acidity of soil by increasing the pH from 3.39 to 6.92 in acidic soil and 6.49 to 9.11 in saline soil. In addition it was found that the electrical conductivity of the soil was related to salinity. In acidic soil the conductivity of before and after inputting calcium oxide were 0.87 and 1.24 dS/m respectively. In the case of saline soil the conductivity of before and after improvement were 14.37 and 18.80 dS/m respectively. Besides it was found that the total content of nitrogen phosphorus and potassium were reduced after the experiment.

This research work was to study the improvement of toughness of polylactic acid (PLA) and the cost reduction of raw material with addition of untreated and treated oil palm fiber (OPF). The detail of this work was divided into two parts. The first was to find the suitable condition for surface treatment of OPF with sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The second part was to study the effect of untreated and treated OPF contents on the mechanical properties of PLA. For surface treatment of OPF NaOH concentrations and immersion times were varied from 0 to 15 wt% and 0 to 30 min respectively. Aspect ratio (L/D) and surface of untreated and treated OPF were investigated by using optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM) respectively. The result suggested that the most suitable condition for surface treatment of OPF was NaOH concentration of 10 wt% at immersion time of 20 min. Treated OPF was occurred microporous and had more rough as compare to untreated fiber. For the effect of untreated and treated OPF contents on the mechanical properties of PLA it was evaluated by tensile and impact testing. SEM was used for investigation of interfacial adhesion and fiber dispersion. The results showed that tensile modulus and impact strength tend to increase with adding 2.5 wt% OPF content and slightly changed at higher OPF content whereas ultimate tensile strength and elongation at break decreased with increasing fiber content. Surface treatment with NaOH led to enhancement of mechanical properties of composite due to improve interfacial adhesion and fiber dispersion.

This research was to look at cassava root as an alternative raw material for snack chip production. However cassava chips showed higher hardness compared to potato chips. The aim was to study the effect of pre-treatment on the physical chemical and sensorial characteristics of cassava chips. Fresh cassava slices (1 mm thickness) were soaked in sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) solution at different concentrations (un-soaked 0 1 and 2% w/w) for 5 min. Then cassava slices were fried in palm oil at 160ºC for 4 min and were seasoned with paprika powder before being baked at 180ºC for 10 min. The chemical physical and sensorial qualities were investigated. The results revealed that the bulk density of cassava chips decreased significantly from 0.496 to 0.401 g/cm3 when fresh cassava slices were soaked in 2% NaHCO3. The breaking force of cassava chips also decreased from 558.97 to 231.50 g whereas fat content increased from 22.85 to 30.69% when soaked in 2% NaHCO3. Increasing the concentration of NaHCO3 decreased the lightness (L*) of cassava chips. Pre-treatment did not have a significant effect on the sensory scores of cassava chips.
