The master's thesis focuses on determining the influence of selected types of food on changes in the intestinal microbiome composition. Dietary composition plays an important role in controlling intestinal microbial populations, including the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. In order to evaluate the effect of daily consumption of fruit-vegetable smoothie on the human intestinal microbiome, changes in the intestinal microbiome at the beginning and after 14 days of intervention were compared. The experimental part was attended by 10 men and 10 women aged 35-45 years, who were evenly divided into 2 groups. The first group of participants consumed a combination of orange, dried turmeric and ginger. The second group consumed a combination of apple, carrot and lemon juice. DNA isolation from stool samples followed by a quantitative PCR method was used to detect differences in the intestinal microbiome. After 14 days of consumption of the fruit-vegetable smoothie, specific changes in the phylum Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and the genus Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium were observed. After statistical evaluation of the obtained results, the differences were not detectable at a statistically significant level (p-value > 0.05).
