Characterisation of processed cheese analogues
Chlebcová, Lenka ; Buňka, František (referee) ; Vítová, Eva (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the topic of cheese analogues, their characterization and qualitative and quantitative analysis of processed cheese analogues for determination the taste and aroma active compounds. The overall character of processed cheese analogues is theoretically compiled in the introductory part. Their utilization, causes of the production, market introduction, technological production process and microstructure, including their comparison with classical processed cheese are given here. Various kinds of fats were used for production of analyzed cheese analogues, therefore commonly used ingredients for their production, their physical-chemical and sensory properties have been described. Specifically butterfat, milk fat, coconut fat, palm fat and mixed oil. Samples used for the practical part of the diploma thesis were made at Tomas Bata University in Zlín. In the experimental part the profile of aroma compounds in individual cheese analogues samples was assessed by SPME-GC analysis. In total 34 compounds were identified. The results were evaluated and compared, with emphasis put on the influence of storage, different fats, different maturity of Edam cheese on the content of aroma active compounds and on overall sensory quality of the analogues.

Characterisation of processed cheese analogues
Studýnková, Hana ; Buňka, František (referee) ; Vítová, Eva (advisor)
The aim of this diploma thesis was to identify and quantify the content of taste and aroma active compounds and to evaluate flavour of cheese analogue samples with various vegetable fats (coconut, palm, butter and mixed oils and butter) and differently matured Edam cheese using selected sensory methods. The samples were produced at Tomas Bata University in Zlín. Aroma compounds were extracted using SPME and assessed using gas chromatography. In total 43 compounds were identified, 14 alcohols, 9 aldehydes, 7 ketones, 8 acids, 5 esters and 1 terpene. Simultaneously the analogues were sensorially evaluated using scale, profile and ranking tests. The influence of storage time, type of fat and Edam cheese used on content of aroma compounds and sensory quality of analogues were evaluated. The cheese analogues with butter were sensorially evaluated as the best, with mixed oil as the worst. From the point of view of aroma compounds content, the significant differences between samples were evident. Using more matured Edam cheese, the content of aroma compounds declined, however, these samples were sensorially evaluated as better. The content of aroma compounds decreased also with storage time, which is more obvious in less matured Edam cheese. So all above mentioned factors influence the content of aroma compounds and thus the flavour of cheese analogues.

Characterisation of processed cheese analoques
Svítilová, Lenka ; Horváthová, Viera (referee) ; Buňka, František (advisor)
The aim of this diploma work is to characterise processed cheeses and their analogues, to identify and quantify aroma active substances in the samples of cheese analogues, to evaluate their flavour using selected sensory methods and to compare the acquired results with the flavour of corresponding classic cheeses. The theoretical part is focused on general characteristic, classification, production technology of the processed cheeses and their analogues and on the list of aroma active substances occurring in cheeses. Furthermore, the summary of the methods suitable for sensory and analytic evaluation of cheese flavour and for the isolation of aroma active substances is given here. The samples of cheese analogues were made in Tomas Bata University in Zlín from coconut fat, butter, palm fat, milk fat and sunflower-seed oil. The classic processed cheeses were acquired commercially in the chain-store Billa. The aromatic substances were isolated and quantified using SPME-GC method, the fibre with the polar stationary phase CARTM/PDMS was used. Overall, 44 aroma substances were assessed: 9 aldehydes, 17 alcohols, 3 esters, 10 ketones and 5 acids. Classic processed cheeses contained the largest amount of aroma substances, Edam cheese, used for the production of cheese analogues, the smallest. Aroma compounds found in cheese analogues were then compared with raw materials used (Edam cheese and various fats), with the analogues produced last year and with classic processed cheeses. Finally, the results of the SPME-GC method and the sensory analysis were compared. It is possible to state that there are noticeable extensive differences between classic processed cheeses and cheese analogues, especially in taste.

Composition of fatty acids in processed cheese analoques
Sůkalová, Kateřina ; Vespalcová, Milena (referee) ; Buňka,, František (advisor)
This thesis deals with the determination of fatty acids of processed cheese analogues. The aim is to identify and quantify the fatty acids in selected samples of cheese analogues. The introduction is a brief overview of the composition and properties of cheese analogues, technology and application options. The following describes the appropriate method for the determination of fatty acids in cheese and cheese analogues. Of these methods the largest part is devoted to gas chromatography, which is most frequently used method for detection of volatile fatty acids. Individual cheese analogues used for the analysis, contained various types of added fats. Specifically, the milk fat, coconut oil, sunflower oil, palm oil and butter. Samples of these fats were extracted and then converted to methylesters by methanol esterification with catalysis by potassium hydroxide. The most important fatty acids were identified and quantified in samples of cheese analogues using gas chromatography and compared with fatty acids of fats used for the preparation of these analogues are used.

Sensorial and analytical evaluation of cheese analoques flavour
Brabcová, Lenka ; Horváthová,, Viera (referee) ; Vítová, Eva (advisor)
The aim of the diploma thesis was to determine the influence of different kinds of fats on the content of aromatic active compounds and total flavour of processed cheese analogues. Samples of the cheese were produced by Tomas Bata University in Zlín from concentrated milk fat, butter, palm fat, coconut fat and sunflower oil. The aromatic compounds were isolated from samples of fats and processed cheese analogues via HS-SPME-GC method. A fibre with polar stationary phase CAR/PDMS was used for capturing of aromatic active compounds. In different contents, total of 32 aromatic compounds were determined. The cheese from concentrated milk fat and butter had the highest content and cheese from sunflower oil had the lowest. For determination of acceptability and flavour, the cheese analogues were sensory evaluated at the same time. Ordinal test, evaluation via scale and profile test were used. Cheese made from concentrated milk fat and coconut fat were always evaluated as the best, cheese made from sunflower oil were evaluated as the worst. Finally results between SPME-GC and sensory analysis were compared. It was stated that the kind of fat used for production of processed cheese analogues significantly influences the content of aromatic compounds and thus influences flavour of the cheese analogues.

The assessment of aroma compounds in processed cheese analogues
Hornáková, Miroslava ; Babák, Libor (referee) ; Vítová, Eva (advisor)
The aim of this work was to identify and quantify aroma compounds in samples of processed cheese analogues made at Tomas Bata University in Zlin. Analogues are processed cheese products in which lactic part is replaced by another component, either partially or completely. Market price is lower because of this replacement and that is why it is more attractive for the consumer. However, this substitution changes aroma, taste and texture, and also contributes to a reduction of the cholesterol content. Theoretical part is dealing with literature review of processed cheese analogues, focusing mainly on the composition, properties and production technology. In the experimental part 5 samples of cheese analogues made by using different types of fats (butter, apricot, grape, black currant and linseed oil) were analysed, simultaneously used oils were also analyzed. Aroma compounds were isolated by using SPME (solid phase microextraction) method and then determined by GC-FID. The most of aroma active compounds were identified in cheese analogue with patial substitute for grape seed oil instead of butter. The largest concentration of aroma compounds was identified in cheese analogue with patial substitute for linseed oil instead of butter. The black currant oil contained the most of aroma active compounds of all measured samples of oils. This oil also contained the largest concentration of aroma compounds.

Burdějová, Lenka ; Horváthová, Viera (referee) ; Vítová, Eva (advisor)
This Bachelor‘s thesis deals with the issues of method validation for assessment of aroma compounds in processed cheese analogues. The method is based on the isolation of volatiles from the sample using Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME) and their subsequent determination by gas chromatography. The theoretical part focuses on general characteristics, classification and producing technology of processed cheese analogues. Further, aroma active substances contained in cheese analogues, differences from the classic processed cheese and processed cheese analogues occurring on the Czech market are mentioned. The methods for determination of aroma active compounds with a focus on Solid Phase Microextraction and gas chromatography are briefly mentioned. Within experimental part of the work the linearity and repeatability of the SPME-GC method were verified and detection limits and limits of quantification of selected standards were determined. Then the method was applied to chosen samples of processed cheese analogues with addition of different types of vegetable fats.

Aroma profile of cheese analogues
Součková, Šárka ; Pšenáková, Ivana (referee) ; Vítová, Eva (advisor)
This Bachelor’s thesis deals with the issue of processed cheese analogues. It will explain what they are, their chemical composition and properties. The aim is to examine a number of cheese analogue samples with added various types of vegetable fats and identify and quantify the volatile aroma active substances present. Aroma compounds were isolated from samples using the Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME), a fiber with polar stationary phase (CARTM/PDMS) was used and the captured substances were then determined by gas chromatography. The evaluated cheese analogues varied in the type of the contained fat. In total 27 aroma active compounds in different amounts were identified. Cheese analogue with sunflower oil contained the most compounds (24) and the smallest number of aroma substances (16) has been detected in the cheese analogue with coconut fat. The highest concentration of aromatic compounds was found in the analogue with coconut fat and lowest in the cheese analogue with palm fat. Ethanol occurred in all types of analogues in the largest concentration. In conclusion it can be argued that the various analogues varied in the type and the amount of aromatic compounds, depending on the type of fat used.
