Superheated steam drying has gained more attention due to its absence of oxidative reactions and high drying rate. This research involved drying of ground fish slices using superheated steam. The influences of superheated steam temperature (120 130 and 140 ?C) and thickness of ground fish slices (1.3 and 2.2 mm) on drying kinetics and quality attributes of dried fish slices were studied. Effective moisture diffusion coefficients (Deff) of the ground fish slices dried at different conditions were also investigated. From the experimental results it was seen that an increase in drying temperature and a decrease in thickness of ground fish slices led to faster moisture reduction. In terms of qualities it was found that the lightness value (L-value) decreased. However the redness value (a-value) percentage of shrinkage hardness and toughness values increased when the thickness of ground fish slices and superheated steam temperature increased. Moreover it was also found that the Deff of the ground fish slices increased with the increase of superheated steam temperature and thickness of ground fish slice.

The objectives of this research were to study the changes in the moisture of ground fish slices during drying with superheated steam combined with hot air and to compare the physical properties (in terms of color hardness toughness and shrinkage) as well as sensory evaluation of dried fish slices. Two drying methods were performed (i.e. superheated steam drying at 140 ?C combined with hot air drying at 110 ?C (SSD+HAD) and hot air drying at 110 ?C combined with superheated steam drying at 220 ?C and hot air drying at 110 ?C (HAD+SSD+HAD)). The ground fish samples were produced at sizes of 50?50?1.3 and50?50?2.2 mm (WDH). The samples with the initial moisture content of around 205-215% dry basis were dried until the final moisture content of about 20% dry basis. Results showed that the samples with 1.3 mm thickness had shorter drying times than those with 2.2 mm thickness. The samples dried by SSD+HAD and HAD+SSD+HAD were similar in the drying time. In term of qualities it was seen that the lightness of dried samples decreased but the hardness toughness and shrinkage percentage of dried samples increased when the samples thickness increased. Dried samples obtained from SSD+HAD had higher lightness hardness and toughness but had lower percentage of shrinkage than those obtained from HAD+SSD+HAD. Moreover it was found that dried samples obtained from HAD+SSD+HAD had the highest sensory scores.

This paper aimed to study and compare awareness of impacts on global warming that are relevant to home economics knowledge base on Home Economics Program Suan Dusit Rajabhat University considering gender and year of study. The sample was bachelor home economics students of every year of Suan Dusit Rajabhat University. Questionnaires were used to the data from 254 samples. The statistics used were frequency distribution percentage average and standard deviation. The hypothesis test made in the study was t-test for independent samples and One Way ANOVA.

The aim of this research is to review the environmental management to analyze the potential of sustainable management and to develop the strategies for developing the sustainable management of at Wat Takien Floating Market. The research is conducted at Wat Takien Floating Market Bangkuvieng subdistrict Bangkruay district in Nonthaburi Province with twenty local authorities including Temple abbot members of the Temple committee and market manager via observations interviews and questionnaires by using Descriptive Analysis Means Standard Deviations Factor Analysis and Canonical Correlation Analysis. The results were as follows: 1. Not far from Bangkok Wat Takien Floating Market is located inside Wat Takien temple area with a nice natural view across the canal. The community around the market have been well corporating with the temple. Visitors can enjoy shoping local product learning local traditional sightseeing temple architecture and making merit at the same time. The floating market is mostly manage by the market manager. In some point the management system is found not to be well arranged. To facilitate a lot of visitors plenty of toilets and many alternativers parking space will be provided. The products inside the market seems to be well known by serveral media. 2. The potential of sustainable management of Wat Takien Floating Market come from variety of strength and opportunity factors. The opportunity elements includes currect economic circumstance community around the market local houses along the canal side Bangkuvieng Canal geography while the strength factors composed of temple policies the way market mananger managing the participation of each members temple architecture inland walkway live Thai classical music band and a resonable price of local product. 3. The strategies for developing the sustainable management of Wat Takien Floating Market can be classified as follow; Strategy for developing the floating market along with Buddhist traditional Strategy of setting reasonable price for local goods and Strategy of boat trip activity. The suggestions were that the Wat Takien Floating market can be a lot improved by using the strategies for developing the sustainable management. In particular it can be done by rearranging the organization structure raising the corporate networks developing the market management systematically expanding an advertising channel Instralling the market banner to draw visitor attention improving the walkway along the canal side releasing regulations for on-boat food vendors promoting local dishes that can be found in a market hosting a fair and activity that related to Buddhist traditional providing boat trip activity creating social responsibility and environmental friendly activity along the canal side.
