Abstract

Wheat cultivation in Thailand has increased, especially bread wheat, durum wheat, and triticale, owing to a surge in local demand for grain and stalks to produce drinking straws. This study aimed to assess the quality of wheat drinking straws manufactured by a community enterprise in Lampang Province, Thailand, in accordance with the community product standard for plant-based straws (CPS. 1558/2020), a pertinent regulation for plant-based straws in Thailand. This study assessed the quality of three varieties of Thai wheat drinking straws: Fang 60, Durum No. 31, and Triticale No. 23. All three varieties met the necessary criteria, including their general appearance, odor, shape retention, moisture content, and microbial contamination levels, thereby confirming their adherence to the established standards in Thailand. The customer's evaluation of wheat straw regarding odor, color, shape, and suction quality revealed positive feedback. Triticale No. 23 and Fang 60 straws garnered the highest overall satisfaction ratings, closely followed by Durum No. 31 straws, which also attained high satisfaction ratings. This study demonstrates that temperate grain stalks are suitable for the manufacture of drinking straws. It also ensures customer acceptance and quality, hence guaranteeing the market potential in the future.
