Development and optimization of methods for detection of selected fruit species in foodstuffs
Šlosárová, Katarína ; Wikarská, Monika (referee) ; Fialová, Lenka (advisor)
Various types of adulteration of food products are becoming more frequent in the food industry than ever. That is no different for fruit products. This bachelor thesis deals with the detection of mango in fruit purées for infants through the use of qPCR and HPLC in three selected commercial products and their prepared replicas. Within the framework of molecular biology, different primers specific for mango were tested. Several primers, which were the most suitable for the demonstration of mango in fruit purées, were selected based on the course of the qPCR reaction, the size of the amplified product, specificity, and sensitivity. Using these primers, the presence of mango was proven in all six analysed samples. Regarding the instrumental part of the work, a rapid and simple method of extraction of phenolic compounds for their analysis by HPLC was tested, which has been previously successfully used on another plant matrix. This method was proved to be unsuitable for the extraction of phenolic compounds from fruit purées for the purpose of their authenticity verification using HPLC [1].

Determination of selected red fruit species in plant-based food using multiplex PCR and instrumental methods
Vybíralová, Natálie ; Langová, Denisa (referee) ; Fialová, Lenka (advisor)
In many cases food is becoming the subject of adulteration, including fruit products that contain raspberries, strawberries and blueberries. This bachelor thesis is focused on the detection of strawberries, rapsberries and blueberries in model and commercial baby food products using multiplex PCR and HLPC. The theoretical part of this thesis is focused on composition of red fruits, their importance in human nutrition and especially about isolation of DNA from plant material. The aim of the experimental part of work was the analysis of selected commercial and model mixtures fruit purees containg raspeberries, strawberries and blueberries using instrumental and molecular biological methods. The results of these metods are compared. Commercial purees were bought in retail grocery shop. Model mixtures of these purees were prepared in our laboratory. DNA was isolated from fruit purees after and it’s amplifiability was comfirmed, it was successfully used in multiplex PCR to confirm the presence of raspberries, strawberries and blueberries in fruit purees. In the instrumental part, certain phenolic substences which are specific to red fruits were detected by HPLC in model and commercial mixtures.

Detection of selected fruit species in plant-based foodstuffs through instrumental analysis and methods of molecular biology
Ondruch, Petr ; Langová, Denisa (referee) ; Fialová, Lenka (advisor)
Food is often subject to adulteration, including fruit products containing strawberries. This work deals with the detection of strawberries in model and real fruit products, so that possible falsification can be detected. The aim of the work was the preparation of model and real fruit products, their analysis using selected instrumental and molecular-biological methods and mutual comparison of the results of these methods. Model mixtures of fruit products were prepared and commercial ones were purchased. The content of polyphenols and flavonoids was determined by UV-VIS spectrophotometry, which were characterized in more detail by HPLC. DNA was isolated from the fruit purees, suitable primers confirmed the amplifiability and formation of a specific product for strawberry, and this product was verified by electrophoretic control. In the instrumental part, certain substances were detected by extraction from model and commercial mixtures and the HPLC method, and the amount of selected substances was determined. The lowest amount of strawberry DNA that could be detected by selected primers in the PCR method was 0.7 ng /µl, in commercial mixtures this DNA could not be detected. In the HPLC method, the strawberry was detected in all samples by focusing on a particular fingerprint and the amount of pelargonidin-3-glucoside in the samples. The instrumental method can be considered more suitable in this case.
