The purposes of this project were 1) to study the formula of Thong Ek (Gold Foil-Decoration) from Lotus Seed Flour, 2) to study the formula of Thong Ek (Gold Foil-Decoration)from Lotus Seed Flour and Lotus Stamen, and 3) to study the nutrition facts, the antioxidant,and the detection of microorganisms test in Thong Ek (Gold Foil-Decoration) from Lotus SeedFlour and Thong Ek (Gold Foil-Decoration) from Lotus Seed Flour and Lotus Stamen. Thestudy found that the highest score of sensory evaluation results from the Thong Ek (Gold Foil-Decoration) from Lotus Seed Flour was the formulation number 2. The highest average ofappearance, color, smell, taste, texture, and over all of the participants’ satisfaction were8.52, 8.48, 8.52, 8.60, 8.54, and 8.60 respectively. The result of Duncan’s New Multiple RangeTest, DMRT showed differences with statistical significance at the 0.05 level (p≤0.05) in all 3formula. The highest score of sensory evaluation results from the Thong Ek (Gold Foil-Decoration) from Lotus Seed Flour and Lotus Stamen was the formulation number 2 as well.The highest average of appearance, color, smell, taste, texture, and over all of theparticipants’ satisfaction were 8.46, 8.52, 8.48, 8.56, 8.62, and 8.68 respectively. The result ofDuncan’s New Multiple Range Test, DMRT showed differences with statistical significance at the0.05 level (p≤0.05) in all 3 formulations. In addition, the nutrition fact test result in Thong Ek(Gold Foil-Decoration) from Lotus Seed Flour and Thong Ek (Gold Foil-Decoration) from LotusSeed Flour and Lotus Stamen - 100 g. in dry weight found that the amount of energy, and fatdecreased. In contrary, the amount of protein, fiber and carbon increased. When analyzed bythe FRAP (umoles TE), and DPPH (mg AA), the antioxidant and Polyphenol (mg eq GA) in theThong Ek (Gold Foil-Decoration) from Lotus Seed Flour and Lotus Stamen increased withstatistical significance at the 0.05 level (p≤0.05). Finally, the detection of microorganisms inThong Ek (Gold Foil-Decoration) from Lotus Seed Flour and Thong Ek (Gold Foil-Decoration)from Lotus Seed Flour and Lotus Stamen test result found the E.Coli less than 3 and noneSamonella SPP.
