Development of Khao-tan Product from Riceberry Rice Enhanced with Yellow Marian Plum Flavor and Multigrain Topping
Main Article Content
Abstract
This experimental study aimed to 1) determine an appropriate substitution level of Riceberry rice for glutinous rice of khao-tan, 2) determine a suitable level of Marian plum for the khao-tan production process and caramel syrup, 3) analyze nutritional composition and microbiological quality to establish shelf life, and 4) assess consumer acceptance. A randomized complete block design (RCBD) was employed; data were analyzed using ANOVA and DMRT at the 0.05 significance level. Research instruments included sensory evaluation, a consumer satisfaction questionnaire, and standard chemical and microbiological analytical tools.
The optimal formulation consisted of 70% glutinous rice and 30% Riceberry rice. Marian plum pulp at 20% (v/v) effectively replaced watermelon juice, and the topping syrup was prepared with 100% Marian plum pulp. The product provided 190 kcal per 40 g serving, containing 27 g carbohydrate, 3 g protein, 8 g total fat, and no detectable cholesterol. The total plate count and yeasts and molds remained within standards throughout 12 weeks of storage, supporting a 3-month shelf life for products packaged in jars and foil pouches. Among 100 consumers, overall liking reached the “like very much” level (8.26), with 100% acceptance and 88% purchase intention. The developed product shows strong potential as a new item for the RICE CARE community enterprise in Nakhon Nayok, adding value to local raw materials and supporting sustainable community income.
