Determination of NSAIDs in wastewater
Krůzová, Sabina ; Mravcová, Ludmila (referee) ; Vávrová, Milada (advisor)
The thesis focuses on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in wastewater. It characterizes drugs and defines specific methods of determination naproxen and ibuprofen in wastewater. Besides their characteristics there are pre-analytics and final analytic methods described here which are used for determination of drugs in wastewater. To analyse we used wastewater from Veterinary and Pharmaceutical University in Brno. Samples were filtered and concentrated by solid phase extraction (SPE) and after that they were analysed by UHPLC with diode array detector. Thanks to these practices and methods, there were found, that concentration of naproxen in wastewater from VFU Brno was below the limit of quantification and ibuprofen wasn´t detected in most of cases.

Extraction of antioxidants from the elderberry blossom and preservation of the extract for further possible use
Krůzová, Sabina ; Němcová, Andrea (referee) ; Vespalcová, Milena (advisor)
The thesis deals with the extraction of antioxidants from elder flowers and the way of storage obtained extract. The elder flowers which are obtained by cutting trees as a waste product and after their processing it could be used as an ingredient to cosmetics products for body and face skin or in a spa like additive to baths. In theoretical part are information about black elder, its botanical characteristics, utilization and about substances contained in it. There is also a chapter about lyophilization as a method which was used for concentration of extract. The last chapter describes theoretical information about liquid chromatography because this method was used for analysis of contents of extract. Experimental part describes optimalization steps in preparation of extract. It was found that the biggest content of polyphenolic compounds was when the proportion between flower and water was 1:10, optimal temperature of water for extraction is 100 °C and it was also found that the time of extraction don´t have any influence on content of polyphenols. Thanks to the lyophilization it was obtained dry light brown powder which is stable for long time. The lyophilizate was tested for some physical properties like pH, refractive index, solubility etc. There was also determined antioxidant activity by DPPH method and there was found quenching activity is 64,9 %. In determining of heavy metals in sample was found trace amounts of lead and chrome. By liquid chromatography was determined content of polyphenols, caffeic acid was in an amount 59,6 mgl1, chlorogenic acid 398 mgl1 and ferulic acid wasn´t detected. All of analysis was for 1% solution of extract because to cosmetic it could be just this amount to addition. In the last step was prepared a skin lotion with elder flower extract and it was tested for stability also was prepared an ointment from pork lard.
