Sensory evaluation of different types of meat products
Lanžhotská, Aneta ; Vespalcová, Milena (referee) ; Diviš, Pavel (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with sensory evaluation of selected types of meat products, specifically sausages. Different types of sausages, which contained added chemicals and spices, were compared. The theoretical part describes the properties of meat and meat products and the basic technological procedures used for their processing and production. Furthermore, added substances and spices, which are often considered as flavorings or preservatives, were characterized. The principles of correct performance of sensory analysis and sensory perception of food were also presented, which include a description of the sensory workplace, sample preparation, its implementation, procedure and various evaluation methods used. The experimental part describes the specific work tools used and the conditions under which the evaluation took place. A total of 12 types of sausages were evaluated, 7 of which came from meat production and 5 were prepared in the laboratory of food chemistry at Brno University of Technology. The differences between the samples of sausages, which differed in content and type of added chemicals and spices, were clearly shown using ray graphs. Then the Grubbs test was used, which excluded outliers from the final evaluation. These values were further excluded from further evaluation. The Kruskall-Wallis test was used to distribute the resulting mean values and to determine whether there was a statistically significant difference in sensory evaluation between the results. An appendix to the Kruskall-Wallis test Dunn's test was used to divide the resulting values into given groups according to statistically significant difference and similarity. The analysis of the main components of the so-called PCA was used to find the differences and similarities of the samples included in the groups.

Production and characterization of non-chocolate sweets with the addition of plant extracts
Knapovská, Pavlína ; Nábělek, Jakub (referee) ; Vítová, Eva (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the production and characterization of plant extracts of green tea (Camellia sinensis) and sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) and non-chocolate sweets – hard candies with the addition of plant extracts. These plants are characterized by a high content of bioactive substances, upon which the prepared extracts and candies were characterised. Determination of volatile substances by HSSPME-GC-MS, antioxidant activity by method with ABTS, determination of total phenols by Folin-Ciocalteu method and sensory analysis were performed. The produced sweets were then compared with similar commercial products. A total of 6 volatile substances were identified in the sample of hard candy with the addition of green tea extract, the antioxidant activity of the sample was determined to be 253,3 ± 0,9 µgml–1 and the total phenolic content was determined to be 0,49 ± 0,02 mgGAEg–1 per 1 g of candy. A total of 8 volatile substances were identified in the hard candy with the addition of sea buckthorn extract, the antioxidant activity of the sample was determined to be 206 ± 3 µgml–1, the total phenolic content was determined to be 0,51 ± 0,04 mgGAEg–1 per 1 g of candy. The obtained results show that the addition of extracts increases the nutritional value (higher antioxidant activity, higher content of phenolic compounds) of produced candy; from a sensory point of view, however, only samples with green tea were evaluated positively, the addition of sea buckthorn extract was not very attractive for consumers, they considered sweets with sea buckthorn to be too bitter.

Alcohol-free beers with herbal extracts
Vyskočilová, Terezie ; Lichnová, Andrea (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with alcohol-free beers and herbal extracts, which are the beers flavoured with. In the theoretical part the methods of non-alcoholic beer production and the representation of the active ingredients in herbs are described. A total of 7 herbal extracts were prepared and added into 3 non-alcoholic Czech beers. Each variant was examined in order to detect changes of the content of active substances before and after the addition of the herbal extract. The content of polyphenols, flavonoids, bitter substances and iso-bitter acids as well as antioxidant activity were analyzed spectrophotometrically. Using HPLC/UV-VIS analysis a content of catechins was assayed. The two selected flavours were encapsulated into liposome; the particles were tested of size and stability. Sensory analysis of all herbal extracts including the encapsulated ones was performed to determine the response of consumers and flavour preferences.

Bioflavouring of beer using new Czech hop varieties
Ondruch, Petr ; Diviš, Pavel (referee) ; Pořízka, Jaromír (advisor)
This diploma thesis focuses on bioflavouring of beer using new czech hop varieties. Dry hopping is a phenomem, that contributes to the attractiveness and diversity of beer and is nowadays gaining in popularity. The aim of this work was to determine the effect of dry hopping on sensory profile and analytical parametrs of dry-hopped beers using czech hop varieties. Sensory evaluation and chemical analysis of these beers were taken. The chemical analysis included determination of the basic beer characteristics, total phenolic a flavonoid content, antioxidant activity and the concentration of selected organic acids and chemical elements. It was found out that dry-hopped beers compared to the reference beer presented higher bitterness, antioxidant activity and contained higher amount of flavonoids. Also an increase in pottasium, manganese, copper, calcium and malic acid levels was reported. The pH of beer samples was not affected by dry hopping. Sensory evaluation showed that dry hopping had a positive influence on the overall enjoyment of the beer, which was mainly determined by the higher aroma and more intense bitterness. By summaring all the data, it is obvious that dry hopping of beer using new czech hop varieties has a positive effect on the quality of the final beer and these hop varities are suitable for further use in the beer industry.
