III. Summary
Healthy boba from durian peel is a project that aims to produce starch/starch from durian
peel. The project will involve the study of the optimum ratio for making boba from durian
peel starch, and to study the sensory reactions after consumption by consumers. The boba
types that were studied were made from 5 formulas of starch, there is 1 controlled formula
which is the original tapioca boba, and 4 experimental formulas consisting of types with
multiple levels of durian peel starch which are 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. Stevia would be
used as a sweetener instead of sugar because it provides sweetness but does not give energy,
which would help reduce health problems for people who like to drink pearl milk tea. These
5 formulas of pearl milk tea will be taken to a sample of 30 people to taste and assess the
sensory reactions of consumers using the Hedonic scaling 9-point method. Results would be
analyzed used to develop the durian peel boba formula continuously. This would serve to
provide a variety of choices which consumers also benefits from the fiber contained in the
durian peel. In addition, consumers can also help reduce the problem of durian peel waste
in Thailand as well.
IV. Parts of the proposal
A. Background
Based on research studies on the problem of durian peel waste in various areas in
Thailand, we found out that it created problems that affected many communities. This was
mainly due to insufficient budget for the management of durian peel waste in the area. In
addition, the people in the area did not actually cooperate in resolving the problem, causing
durian peel waste to be a lingering issue that cannot be fully solved. Regarding the impact of
durian peel waste on the community, the study found that the impacts are multi-faceted,
including environmental impact, wastewater, air pollution, putrefaction, and is also a source
of disease vectors (Wanwisa Nui-ed et al., 2020). Due to the continuous increase in durian peel
waste problem, various researchers have found a solution by processing them for various
benefits. This is because durian peels contain chemical constituents such as cellulose, lignin
and pectin. Examples of products from processed durian peels includes bioplastic,
biodegradable plant pots, etc. (Narin Charoenphan et al., 2018)
Bubble tea is a drink that is very popular among teenagers and working people. From
a research by Benjaploy Phothiperanan (2016), it was found that from a case study of “Tea
More” shops in Khlong Tan area, Bangkok on 400 people that bubble tea consumption is very
popular for women who consumes more pearl milk tea than men. Another data also
showcases that those under or equal to 20 years of age with education below a bachelor's
degree, and those earning more than 55,000 baht annually will consume more than 6 glasses
per week. Most of them like the act of chewing, in which the time of consumption is usually
in the afternoon and the popular menu is original milk tea with boba toppings. Due to how
the substances contained in boba milk tea are composed of sugar, starch and fat, when these
things enter the body, it will be absorbed immediately, making consumers feel refreshed. But
on the contrary if the consumers drink less or resist the desire to consume these bubble teas,
it can cause mood swings, getting easily irritated, even though consumers know that eating
sweet food affects the body negatively, but the demand for it still remains. (Rattanachai
Muang-ngam, 2019). When consuming bubble tea, they should be consumed in moderation.
Usually, the average energy of adolescent boys/girls in working age is 2000 kcal. When
consuming 1 cup of pearl milk tea, 360 kcal is received which is equivalent to 1/4 of the
energy received per day, this is considered a high-energy food equivalent to a single dish. Forb
bubble tea, most of the energy is obtained from sugar, with the addition of sweeteners and
the bobas made from cassava starch with brown sugar and cocoa powder (Post Today, 2019).
In order to solve all of the above problems, our group therefore studied the production of
healthy bobas using non-energy sweeteners, together with the processed durian peels to use
as starch as an ingredient in making bobas serving as an alternative to starch. This would
promote the health of consumers and solve the problem of durian peel waste in the country.
B. Objective
1. To produce starch from durian peels
2. To study the optimum ratio for making boba from durian peel starch.
3. Study the sensory reaction of consumers.
C. Methodology 2. Dry the outer peel
Step 1 Prepare the starch from durian peels
1. Wash the Monthong Durian peels
thoroughly
4. Cut the white parts into 3. Remove the green bark and thorns,
pieces about 1 cm thick. leaving only the white parts.
5. Place in a food dehydrator at 6. Remove the tray from the food
70°C for 12 hours dehydrator. Let it rest until the
processed durian peels has
reached 25°C (room temperature).
9. Place the durian peel starch in bag 8. Sift through an 80-mesh sieve. 7. Take the baked durian
peel and blend it 2-3
to be kept for further use as boba from times thoroughly
durian peel strarch
Step 2 Prepare boba from tapioca and durian peel starch.
Prepare the 5 starch recipes as follows
Controlled group : 1st formula tapioca starch (using 240 g of tapioca starch)
Experimental group : 2nd formula ratio of tapioca starch starch to durian peel starch 4 : 1
(using 192 g of tapioca starch + 48 g of durian peel starch mixed
together)
3rd formula ratio of tapioca starch starch to durian peel starch 4 : 1
(using 180 g of tapioca starch + 60 g of durian peel starch mixed
together)
4th formula ratio of tapioca starch starch to durian peel starch 4 : 1
(using 160 g of tapioca starch + 80 g of durian peel starch mixed
together)
5th formula ratio of tapioca starch starch to durian peel starch 4 : 1
(using 120 g of tapioca starch + 120 g of durian peel starch mixed
together)
1. Prepare all 5 boba dough 2. Dissolve 60 g of stevia sugar in 50 3. Add 120 g of the 1st boba dough

6. Divide the dough into portions. 5. Add 120 g of Formula 1 flour and 4. Place the mixture over a hot pot
Then roll into long strips before mix well. If the dough is dry, add and stir until the dough is viscous,

7. Bring the shaped bobas to a boil in boiling 8. Pour out all the water and add 30 g of stevia

minutes, turn off the heat and leave for
another 10 minutes.
9. Repeat the 2-8 steps again by changing the
starch to the formula 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively.
Step 3 Study the sensory reactions of consumers.
1. Prepare boba milk tea in tasting glasses of 2 2. Let a sample group of 30 Pakkred Secondary
