At the present the studies on the Mahachanok jam product is limited. The objective of this research was to study in the textural syneresis and sensory characteristics of Mahachanok jam from three types of geldings (pectin galactomannan and carrageenan) and different storage conditions (room temperature 4o C) for 1 month. It was found that the gel strength rupture strength and brittleness of the Mahachanok jam from carrageenan and galactomannan were higher than pectin (p≤0.05). When the jam was stored at 4oC jam from pectin had highest brittleness and jam from galactomannan had syneresis more than carrageenan and pectin (p≤0.05) respectively. The jam was stored at 4o C found that the syneresis was lower than stored at room temperature. For sensory evaluation the overall acceptance of Mahachanok jam from pectin and carrageenan were higher than galactomannan with the mean of like score between slight to moderate.

The aim of this research was to study the influence of sucrose on the degradation of anthocyanins in makiang jam. Makiang flesh was prepared by three different methods. In the first method makiang flesh was mixed with sucrose at three different raitos (2:1 3:1 and 4:1) in the second method makiang flesh was soaked in sucrose solution (35 Brix) at three different ratios (1:1 1:1.5 and 1:2) and in the last method makiang flesh was prepared without addition of sucrose. After the jam processing makiang jams were stored at two different temperatures (the ambient temperature and 40 C) for 30 days to measure the degradation of anthocyanins. The results showed that the anthocyanins content in makiang jam decreased with increasing the storage time. The degradation of anthocyanins in makiang jam prepared by makiang flesh without addition of sucrose was higher than those prepared by mixing makiang flesh with sucrose or soaking makiang flesh in sucrose solution. Mixing makiang flesh with sucrose had lower anthocyanins degradation than soaking makiang flesh in sucrose solution. Makiang jam stored at the ambient temperature had lower anthocyanins degradation compared to those stored at 40 C.
