The potential development of instant sauce from the pineapple

Abstract

The objective of this research is to study the suitable production process in the production of Pad Thai sauce, Crispy rice noodle sauce (Mee krob) and three mixed flavors sauce (Sam-rod) by using pineapples juice as the main ingredient. To study the quality of this finished three sauce products from pineapples. And to study the consumer test of pineapple sauce products. The results of the development of a suitable recipe for Pad Thai sauce production. From the evaluation of the sensory quality of Pad Thai sauce (9 points Hedonic scale). It was found that panelist accepted the appropriate amount of pineapple juice in the production of Pad Thai sauce at 30 % in all attributes in terms of appearance, color, smell, taste, texture and overall liking with an average score of 8.08 7.83 7.93 8.15 8.05 and 8.13, respectively, which was at a high level of preference.
