This research aimed to study the optimal condition for fried Hom Thong banana by vacuum frying, the sensory evaluation and analyze the physical and chemical properties of the obtained products. The sample were carried out by cleaning, peeling and chopping into 4.0 millimeter, soaking in NaCl solution at the concentration of 0.1% and allowed banana pieces to
drain around 5 minutes. The treated banana was fried in vacuum fryer at the temperature of 85 90 and 95 °C, various vacuum frying time at 45 50 and 55 minutes. The results found that the fried banana product by vacuum frying had golden yellow color. The Hom Thong banana product which fried at temperature of 95 °C at 50 minutes was obtained the high acceptance from
panelists in appearance, color, odor, taste, texture and overall acceptance attributes. For the physical properties of fried Hom Thong banana product, it revealed that Hom Thong banana fried at the temperature of 95 °C at 50 minutes had not different brightness (L*) from the other conditions but had the yellow color (b*) higher and significantly different from the other
