Analysis of biologically active substances from medical mushrooms
Macháčková, Mirka ; Bendová, Agáta (referee) ; Hoová, Julie (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the benefits of mushrooms for the human body and with the important substances that are contained in them and give them properties that cannot be found in any other natural food component in such a complex design. Specifically, the mushrooms discussed in the thesis belong to rare species of mushrooms, not only because of their rare occurrence in nature, but mainly because of their unmistakable positive properties. In the theoretical part of the thesis, the basic characteristics of fungi, structural features and basic division were described. Further, the theoretical part discusses the characteristics of individual rare mushrooms that were selected for further observation. It deals mainly with their occurrence, positive impact on the human body and their practical use. This section also deals with the chemical composition of mushrooms, specifically the contained and immunologically active substances. Last but not least, the theoretical part describes important microorganisms that were used in measuring antimicrobial activity in the practical part of this work. The practical part of the thesis was devoted to the preparation of mushroom extracts from reishi, shiitake, oyster mushroom and Judas ear mushrooms using three different solvents. It optimizes methods for the determination of nutritionally important substances by selecting appropriate solvents that were able to positively influence the yield when determining the mushroom content. It is also engaged in testing antioxidant activity, determination of content and antimicrobial activity. Based on these measurements, it was proved that all the above-mentioned active substances are present in different concentrations in the mushrooms studied. Mushroom powders or their extracts can subsequently be used alone as dietary supplements or as an additive to foods with low nutritional value.
Lignite hydrocolloids
Macháčková, Mirka ; Taraba, Boleslav (referee) ; Pekař, Miloslav (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the study of non-energy use of lignite. The main objective was to find an optimal recipe for the preparation of liquid and semi-solid (paste) hydrocolloids from the South Moravian lignite using the planetary mill and select the suitable dispersion medium with emphasis on possible use in agriculture. The used solutions were 10, 20 a 40 % w/w solutions of urea; 5, 10 a 15 % w/w solutions of citric acid; 1, 5 a 10 % w/w solutions of potassium chloride and deionized water. The best weight ratio for the preparation of lignite hydrocolloids is 1 part of lignite and 2 parts of the solution. The next part of this work is the isolation of humic acid from lignite hydrocolloids. The weight of isolated humic acids and amount of ash were compared to the used lignite hydrocolloids. Rheological behavior, particle size distribution, stability and thermal stablity of prepared lignite hydrocolloids were investigated. Correlation microscopy was used for determining elemental composition of selected location in the sample of lignite hydrocolloid.
Development of non-energy use of lignite
Macháčková, Mirka ; Sedláček, Petr (referee) ; Pekař, Miloslav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the study of non-energetic use of lignite. The use as a sorbent is one of many possibilities. Sorption of chloride and sodium ions was carried out on natural lignite from the South Moravian, lignite washed with deionized water and lignite enriched with calcium ions. The experiments were realized monitoring pH, electrical conductivity, amounts of sodium and chloride ions in the prepared samples. Chemical oxygen demand was determined in the extract of lignite. This measurement was carried out in accordance with norm ČSN 83 0540-8 Chemical and physical analysis of waste water: Determination of dichromate oxidability. For use in agriculture were investigating the possibility of preparation of humic hydrocolloids by high speed dispergator and planetary mill. The ideal ratio of lignite and water was determined. The liquid and solid humic hydrocolloids were prepared by mechanochemical activation the lignite. These were characterized - particle size, UV-VIS spectroscopy of prepared extracts and sedimentation.
