Probiotics, their influence on health and probiotic food
Hondlíková, Tereza ; Dostálová, Jana (advisor) ; Plocková, Milada (referee)
Probiotics are living microorganisms which show positive effects on human health if consumed in a sufficient quantity. Probiotics have been under a lot of research recently, however their effectiveness in terms of treatment or prevention of diseases has not been supported by a sufficient number of studies and research yet. The thesis summarizes the existing knowledge about probiotics, characterizes individual types of probiotic organisms, describes possible sources of probiotics and their impact on human health. Theoretical part of the thesis deals with the definition of the concept of probiotics, also describes prebiotics and synbiotics which are closely related to this topic. characteristics of individual groups of probiotics as well as their impact on human health and possible use in the treatment of diseases as a form of biological treatment are also included. Furthermore the sources of probiotics both in the form of foods containing probiotics and in the form of probiotic dietary supplements are described. At the end of the theoretical part, recommendations for receiving and selecting a suitable source of probiotics are summarized. The aim of the practical part was to find out if the general public is aware of probiotics. Questions about preferences in the selection and consumption of...

Vliv biologického a chemického ošetření na výskyt biogenních aminů u vojtěškových siláží
Remerová, Pavla
In the experiment, the influence of two different biological silage additives (Lactococcus lactis (NCIMB 30117), Lactobacillus plantarum (DSM 16568), Enterococcus faecium (DSM 22 502 / NCIMB 11181), the enzyme xylanase EC 3.2.1.8.) And chemical (43% formic acid 30% ammonium formate and 10% propionic acid and 2% benzoic acid) at a concentration of biogenic amines, nutrient content, evaluation of the quality of the fermentation process and microbiological parameters for alfalfa silage (Medicago sativa). Silage fermentation time was 90 days. Biological silage additive significantly increased incidence of putrescine (51%; P <0.05), lactic acid (11%; P <0.05), protein (11%; P <0.05). Conversely, there was a significant reduction cadaverine (29%; P <0.05), histamine (57%; P <0.05), spermidine (15%; P <0.05), spermine (55%; P <0.05), acid acid (40%; P <0.05), ethanol (55%; P <0.05) ammonia (25%; P <0.05), and ash (9%; P <0.05). In the group treated by chemical silage additive is statistically significantly increased histamine content (63%; P <0.05) and tyramine (34%; P <0.05). Decreases in the concentration of putrescine (18%; P <0.05), cadaverine (55%; P <0.05), spermidine (47%, P <0.05), spermine (45%; P <0.05), lactic acid ( 16%; P <0.05), acetic acid (46%; P <0.05) ammonia (59%, P <0.05), ash (13%, P <0.05) and fat (24%, P < 0.05). From a microbiological point of view have been affected by the lactic acid bacteria, molds, yeasts, enterobacteria and total number of microorganisms. The results show that to maintain hygiene and healthy silage is preferable to use biological and chemical silage additives. For alfalfa silage inoculant chemical has higher efficiency in maintaining health security silage compared with biological inoculant

Změny mikrobiologických a senzorických parametrů v průběhu výroby a skladování kefíru
Horňák, Tomáš
Kefir is a fermented dairy product made from milk fermentation by lactic acid bacteria and yeasts. The main result of milk fermentation is conversion of lactose by bacteria into lactic acid and changes in milk texture, yeast complete the product properties mainly by production of carbon dioxide and ethanol. At the same time, depending on the different bacterial and yeast expressions in the culture used and the various technological conditions of the fermentation process, other substances with sensory or nutritional significance are also produced. This diploma thesis focuses mainly on microorganisms, which are important for kefir production. It also deals with the basic characteristics of kefir, technology of production, sensory properties and microorganisms causing its spoilage. Practical part deals with changes of microflora and with sensory properties of kefir and kefir ice cream during maturation.

Sledování vybraných mikrobiologických ukazatelů u rostlinného produktu v průběhu skladování
Gazdíková, Pavla
The experimental part of the thesis deals with production and monitoring of microbiological indicators in acidified plant products during their storage. Four raw materials were used for production: soy, almond, cashew and poppy. In microbiological analysis, the total number the following microorganisms were monitored - lactic acid bacteria, coliform bacteria, yeast together and mold. It has been found that the number of microorganisms monitored increases with increasing shelf life. The results from the microbiological analysis pointed out that all monitored samples are harmless to health for one week of storage. From a nutritional point of view, the highest fat content was determined in the tonsil sample, the highest total nitrogen content was found in the soy sample. The almond sample received the best impression by general public. The sensory analysis performed by trained people showed no statistically significant difference between the evaluated samples (p < 0,05).

Mikrobiologické parametre mliečno kvasených zelenín
Fialová, Tatiana
The thesis deals with fermented vegetables. Firstly, it reviews literature focused on consumption of vegetables and their composition. Later, it deals with lactic acid fermentation of various vegetables and their microbiological properties. The thesis then focuses on microorganisms in these products which are beneficial as well as harmful to human health. I touch upon strategies of eliminating harmful microorganisms in this food. The empirical part examines groups of microorganisms in samples of mass-produced fermented cabbage (sauerkraut), cucumber, kimchi and self-made pickled vegetables. For analysis, I used plate count cultivation method. The results indicate that there was a much higher count of microorganisms (including lactic acid bacteria) in self-made fermented vegetables (10
