0.05). In contrast, there were significant differences in appearance, texture, taste,
aroma, and crispiness scores among the three recipes (p≤0.05). Nutritional analysis revealed that
100 grams of cannabis oil extract cookies contained 500 calories, 25 grams of sugar, 25 grams of
fat, and 380 milligrams of sodium.
Regarding the development of the liquid soap prototype from GI coconut oil with cannabis
leaf extract, sensory evaluation involving 30 participants showed significant differences in various
attributes including foam volume, skin moisturization, cleansing ability, aroma, and overall
preference (p≤0.05). The third soap formula, containing cannabis extract, received the highest
average scores in all attributes, indicating higher satisfaction likely due to the moisturizing
properties and distinctive aroma of the cannabis extract. It also had appropriate foam volume
and effective cleansing properties, resulting in the highest overall preference. Sensitivity, allergy,
and acute toxicity tests with 30 participants revealed no allergic reactions for formulas 1 and 2,
while formula 3 caused mild redness in one participant.
Consumer acceptance analysis revealed that the overall importance of the marketing mix
factors was rated very high (¯x=4.68). The highest importance was attributed to the product or
service (¯x=4.92), packaging design (¯x=4.80), and distribution channels (¯x=4.57), respectively.
Price was considered very important (¯x=4.44). Knowledge transfer sessions enhanced participants'
understanding of producing cannabis oil extract cookies, facilitating further product development
by community enterprises."/>
Abstract:
This research study aimed 1. To develop a unique prototype bakery product from cannabis
leaf extract with a distinct local identity from Surat Thani province, specifically flourless cannabis
cookies, which differ from competitors. 2. To develop a prototype liquid soap product from GI
coconut oil infused with cannabis leaf extract. 3. To develop prototype packaging and distribution
channels. 4. To transfer knowledge to the community and community enterprises.
This research employs a mixed methods approach, combining qualitative research,
research and development (R&D), and quantitative research. This mixed-method research
integrates qualitative findings into R&D, which is then tested with sample groups.
The study aimed to develop a prototype bakery product using cannabis leaf extract,
examine its nutritional value, assess consumer acceptance, and transfer knowledge to community
enterprises. The prototype product selected was cannabis cookies. Sensory evaluation scores for
appearance, texture, taste, aroma, and overall preference were all rated at a level of "like" across
the board. The first prototype recipe received the highest average scores in all attributes.
However, there were no statistically significant differences in overall preference scores among the
three recipes (p>0.05). In contrast, there were significant differences in appearance, texture, taste,
aroma, and crispiness scores among the three recipes (p≤0.05). Nutritional analysis revealed that
100 grams of cannabis oil extract cookies contained 500 calories, 25 grams of sugar, 25 grams of
fat, and 380 milligrams of sodium.
