The posibility of applying corn hybrids with FAO number 300 in less favored areas
SLANEC, Roman
The aim of this thesis was to evaluate and compare production of biomass and dry matter of silage corn hybrids with different time of earliness - Ronaldinio (Z 240/S 250), Agro Vitallo (Z 270/S 280) and Balasco (Z 370/S 380). This experiment was realized on a field near České Budějovice ( 400 m.a.s.l.) and the resuls were compared to results of a pilot plant experiment realised by KWS OSIVA s.r.o. in ZOD Podhradí Choustník ( 562 m.a.s.l.). All startings of phonological phases were studied according to BBCH-scale in the course of vegetation period. Samples were taken before the harvest to test for contents of dry matter in biomass. They were used to determine the optimal harvest period. These parametres were observed during the harvest : plant height, biomass yield, dry matter of biomass, corncobs yield, share of corncobs, dry matter of corncobs, dry matter yield. The resuls showed succesful use of corn hybrids with higher FAO number (Balasco) in areas of less favourable conditions. Corn is one of the plants very dependent on the course of the year.

Burning pellets from non-wood biomass in boilers II
Linda, Matúš ; Baláš, Marek (referee) ; Zejda, Vojtěch (advisor)
Bachelor thesis is divided into four main chapters. The first chapter deals with issue of combustion of agropellets in boilers. This section specifies types of pellets, their production and problems of combustion in boilers associated with formation of emissions. The second chapter specifies valid legislation and emissions limits. The third chapter describes fuel analysis of agropellets samples. This includes an analysis in order to determine the properties and chemical composition of agropellets resulting in determination of gross heat and calorific value. The fourth chapter evaluates agropellets influence on boilers and emissions creation on the basis of data and knowledge. The results are compared with data of other commonly used solid fuel found in literature sources.

Selected nutritional parameters of some lesser known fruit
Diblíková, Michaela ; Hrstka, Miroslav (referee) ; Vespalcová, Milena (advisor)
Diploma thesis is focused on the chemical analysis of the juices of black, red and white currant and jostaberry (Ribes a Ribes x culverwellii). The theoretical part is focused to the definition of fruit, fruit importance in human nutrition, description of Ribes and Ribes x culverwellii genuses, active substances in the currants and the jostaberry, description of selected chemical parameters and the determination of some of them. The procedures of determining for the following chemical parameters are described in the experimental section: determination of reducing sugars, determination of total and soluble solids, formol number, pH, titratable acidity, determination of total phenols and anthocyanins and determination of vitamin C in two samples jostaberry, six varieties of black currants, one variety of white currant and two varieties of red currants. Based on the evaluation of the obtained results, the comparison was made with different varieties and the thesis that "overall comparison of the different varieties in the content of phenolic compounds, vitamin C and anthocyanins appears to be the most promising variety of blackcurrant demon. It should however be noted that the highest content of phenolics and anthocyanins were determined in jostaberry„ has been suggested.

The addition of carbon dioxide to milk for cheese production
Králová, Petra ; Hrstka, Miroslav (referee) ; Kvasnička, Miloš (advisor)
This work deals with the addition of carbon dioxide to milk for cheese production. The first aim was to elaborate a literary search focused on chemical composition of milk and its changes after addition of carbon dioxide and to describe production processes, with or without addition of carbon dioxide. The opening part was in particular focused on production of cheese with carbon dioxide and what all this gas causes during production. Carbon dioxide significantly decreases pH, thereby preventing from multiplication of undesirable microorganisms, it is also very important for shortening of production time, because it shortens the coagulation time. The main aim of experimental part was to determine the optimum addition of carbon dioxide to milk for production of Balkan cheese and using several analytical methods to compare cheese produced with and without addition of carbon dioxide. The sensory methods suitable for following of sensory differences of produced cheeses were also chosen and applied. By request of Dairy in Polná Ltd., the operation economy was calculated, which revealed that production with carbon dioxide is very useful and can reduce production costs of Balkan cheese, which would certainly be positive. The advantages and disadvantages of cheese production with carbon dioxide for consumers as well as for producer are evaluated as conclusion of this work.

Basic chemical characteristics of chokeberry juices
Zámorská, Vendula ; Veselá, Mária (referee) ; Vespalcová, Milena (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals wirh characteristics of berries and assessment of basic chemical parameters of chokeberry juices (Aronia melanocarpa). The theoretical part is about the basic botanical description of selected varieties of Aronia and its taxonomic status. The following are important substances contained in fruits and their part in human nutrition and use for food purposes. The end of the theoretical part of bachelor thesis is about basic methods of determining the nutritional parameters of berries. In the experimental part solids content of the fruit. Furthermore soluble dry matter content, pH, titratable acidity, formol number, reducing sacharides and ascorbic acid by spectrofotometry were determined. Based on the results, juices were compared.

Basic chemical characteristics of juices from selected red currants varieties
Rucká, Markéta ; Jurečková, Zuzana (referee) ; Vespalcová, Milena (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the determination of basic chemical characteristics of selected red currants varieties from the Research and Breeding Institute of Pomology Holovousy Ltd. The theoretical part concentrates on general information about red currant, such as history of cultivation, origin and its expansion. There is also mention of the general characteristics of currant, currant building and significance of red currant cultivation. Chapter "Individual varieties" deals with the analysed varieties of red currants, especially its description and its biological properties, followed by an overview of the main substances contained in red currants and their brief description. Bachelor thesis also presents examples of the processing and the utilization of red currant in the food industry. The final chapter provides information about the individual determinations of the chemical characteristics of red currants, which include juice yield, soluble solids content, total dry matter content, pH, titratable acidity, formol number and reducing sugars. The experimental part describes the specific conditions and methods of individual determinations, followed by a summary of the results and their discussion. Variety Jesan showed the highest juice yield (63 ml per 100 g) and the highest pH value (3,16). The highest soluble solids content (13,94 %) and the highest formol number (22,83 ml of 0,1 M NaOH per 100 g) was determined in a variety Jonkheer van Tets. The highest dry matter value was detected for variety Rovada (14,48 %). The titratable acids content was highest in variety NŠLS 11/6 (403,88 mmol•kg-1). The highest concentration of reducing sugars was found in variety Tatran (8,17 %).

Energetic usage of grasses
PROKEŠOVÁ, Markéta
Bachelor thesis is focused on effectiveness of targeted cultivation of selected species of grasses for energy purposes (Dactylis glomerata, Arrhenatherum elatius, Phalaris arundinacea). Work compares yields and suitability of selected species of grass growing for energy recovery. Furthermore, for each species of grass evaluates the best date harvesting for energy use direct combustion and biogasification based on the percentage of dry matter and the annual yield of dry matter. Input data used derived from experimentally observed data in the research field plots of perennial plants. Part of the thesis is to summarize the literature about other types of energy crops (Miscanthus sinensis Anderss, Rumex patientia, Populus L.,Zea mays)and compare with them the suitability grasses for growing to energy recovery on the basis of selected production capacity and energy parameters (dry matter yield, energy recovery, heat of combustion).
