Abstract:
The objectives of this research are to: 1) study the basic recipe of Tong Pub
snack; 2) study the type of mango flour suitable for making Tong Pub snack; 3) study
the appropriate amount of mango flour to replace the wheat flour in making the Tong
Pub snack; and 4) study the nutritional value of the Tong Pub snack made from mango
flour by evaluating the results of sensory preference tests by a group of food tasting
panelists. The results showed that the food tasting panelists rated their preferences
for the basic recipe of Tong Pub Snack Recipe 1 the most. The results of the study on
the quality of raw mango and the mango flour showed that Kaew Khamin mango has
a more yellowish color than the Nam Dok Mai mango and the Dawei Deun Kao mango.
The pH value of the mango pulp is acidic. The Kaew Khamin mango has the lowest pH
value of 1.87. All the three types of mango flour differ in color according to the
characteristics of the raw pulp of each variety. The mango flour of the Kaew Khamin,
whose raw pulp is yellow, has the highest values of the colors of a* and b* (p≤0.05).
When used to produce the flour, it has a darker yellow color than the flour from Nam
Dok Mai mango, and Dawei Deun Kao mango. The amount of Kaew Khamin mango
flour used to replace the wheat flour in Tong Pub snacks affected the value of the
color and the thickness of the Tong Pub snack. When the amount of Kaew Khamin
mango flour is increased, it results in an increase in the thickness of the Tong Pub
snack. The texture of the snack is brittle and becomes more easily broken. The recipe
of the Tong Pub snack that substitutes the wheat flour with Kaew Khamin mango flour
by 50%, is the most accepted snack. The Kaew Khamin Mango Tong Pub snack has an
outstanding nutritional value, that is, when it is made at the amount of 100 grams, it
contains 1227.9 micrograms of beta-carotene and also contains other nutrients that are beneficial to the body, including vitamin C, vitamin A, and dietary fiber.
