Moreover hardness and flexibility in texture profile of the product were not significantly different from the control product (p>0.05). In terms of sensory evaluation tasters gave the highest score for meat-emulated reducedemulsion product that used banana flour in place of isolated soy protein at 15 percent. For packaging of pork roll product it was found that Model-A package was the most suitable with recommendations to add tight-closed material to prevent contamination from outside and to print expiry date as well as food safety certified sign.

This indicated that technological transfer in a form of real-practice workshop provided increasing knowledge in developing food product from banana flour for vegetarian food business. Moreover it was also found that trainees were highly satisfied in both overall service (mean of 4.85) and by-aspect: servicing staff (4.93) procedure/steps (4.87) trainers (4.83) and usefulness of service (4.75) respectively.
