Liová, Alexandra ; Szotkowski, Martin (referee) ; Němcová, Andrea (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the selection of a suitable combination of probiotic culture with algae extracts as an addition to the baby formula and the application of the optimal composition of baby formula. Arame, wakame, hijiki and kombu seaweeds were selected for these purposes. The theoretical part is focused on the proper nutrition of children, their deficiencies and possible diseases. Subsequently, it deals with the characterization of probiotic cultures and their importance in the child's nutrition. Last but not least, the theoretical part characterizes the individual seaweeds, their nutritional composition and also their importance in the child's nutrition. In the experimental part, samples of selected algae were first analyzed in terms of saccharides, insoluble fiber content, fructooligosaccharides and -glucans or pigment content. A sample of inulin, a commonly used prebiotic in probiotic products, was used as a reference component. An important analysis of this experimental part was to determine the effect of algal extracts on the viability and growth of probiotic bacteria. Subsequently, a model digestion of a mixture of probiotics and algal extracts was performed, and the condition of the probiotic cells was evaluated during digestion and after digestion by measuring turbidity and flow cytometry. Finally, not only the optimal combination of algae extract and probiotic culture was proposed, but also the possibility of improving the long-term viability of probiotic cells in combination with algal extracts.
