The development product of dried pickled passion fruit peel aimed to study appropriate production process of dried pickled passion fruit peel to study the preservation and examine the acceptance from the customers. The result showed that the appropriate way to produce dried pickled passion fruit peel was the 30% 40% and 50% of intensity in syrup. With the intensity of syrup started from 30% the appearance color and smell of final product got highest average score. Therefore the production should be slow pickled with 30% of syrup intensity. In terms of preservation there was no microorganism over Thai industrial standard institute of fruits and vegetables 161/2015. Finally most of the customers accepted this product

The objectives of this research were to study the effect of hot air velocity on the changes of the moisture content and temperature of preserved tomatoes undergoing combined conveyor system and hot air drying. Specific energy consumption physical properties in term of color and shrinkage and sensory evaluation of dried preserved tomatoes were also investigated. The preserved cherry tomatoes were dried at a drying temperature of 80oc and hot air velocity of 2 and 4 m/s until the moisture contents of the preserved tomatoes were lower than 18% wet basis. The experimental results showed that the hot air velocity had effect on the changes of the moisture content and temperature of preserved tomatoes. Specific energy consumption total color difference shrinkage percentage and sensory evaluation results of dried preserved tomatoes of the hot air velocity of 2 and 4 m/s were not significantly different (P>0.05).Moreover the dried preserved tomatoes obtained from this research had significantly lower sensory scores in term of color and appearance than those obtained from the local market (P≤0.05). However sensory scores in term of flavor texture and overall preference of the dried preserved tomatoes obtained from this research and the local market were not significantly different (P>0.05).

This research aimed to investigate the suitable method to product osmotically dehydrated banana peels and determine its shelf life as well as consumer acceptation. It was found that the proper method was the slow osmotic dehydration process with 30 40 and 50% of syrup (sucrose solution). This method led to the highest appearance color and flavor scores as accessed by the consumer. Therefore the slow osmotic dehydration process was selected for further study relating to the ratio between salt and malic acid (3:2 3:3 and 2:3 of syrup weight). The result show that no differences in appearance color flavor and texture scores were found among treatments however the sample treated with salt and malic acid in the ratio of 3:3 obtained the highest taste score. Thus the suitable process to produce the osmotically dehydrated banana peels was slow process with salt and malic in the ratio 3:3. According to the shelf life study the sample (100g) packed in metallic foil still compiled with Thai community standard of fruit and vegetable products during 12 weeks of storage under 25-30 °C. In addition the consumers also accepted the selected osmotically banana peel product.
