The Quality of Bottled Budu from Product Sources in Pattani and Narathiwat Provinces

Abstract

The formulars and processes of the liquid Budu production from Pattani and Narathiwat provinces have been different in formulars and processes that affected the quality of products. Then, this study served to evaluate the quality of 2 classes Budu from sources. In physical qualities, one sample of the first class Budu was adulterated while adulterants were found in 7 samples of the second class Budu. The first one class samples’ colored values : L*, a* and b* in the range of 26.24-35.44, 1.08-7.35 and 15.23-21.24 respectively; meanwhile, the other class samples had the identical values in the range of 31.35-39.74, 3.78-7.10 and 14.49-18.04 respectively. The range of aw value the third factor, was found in the first class Budu samples in the range of 0.72-0.73 which differed with the samples of other group that had the value from 0.73 to 0.91. The chemical qualities analysis of quantity of Protein, salt and Lactic acid in percentage indicated that the first class Budu samples were in the range of 7.17-12.08%, 25.81-30.34% and 0.10-0.14% respectively while the data of the second group samples were in the range of 2.96-9.28%, 12.07-26.53% and 0.03-0.09% respectively. All of samples from the first class Budu had 3.0x103-3.2x104 colonies/gram. In the other hand, there were 9.0x103-1.5x108 colonies/gram in the entire samples of the second class Budu. Furthermore, there is only one sample from the second class Budu in which yeast cells and mold were found in quantity of 2.5x104 colonies/gram and more over 100 colonies/gram respectively. Tasting, the last testing, a sensory evaluation had been examined by panelists for all samples of 2 classes in 3 factors; smelling, tasting and acceptation. The total scores of the first class Budu was greater than the second class Budu significantly at the .05 level (p < 0.05). These can be concluded that meant the qualities in physical, chemical, microorganisms and sensory quality system of the first class Budu were absolutely higher than the second class Budu.
