The determination of mycotoxins in commercial beers
Martiník, Jan ; Benešová,, Karolína (referee) ; Mgr. Marek Pernica, Ph.D (advisor)
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of microscopic fibrous micromycetes that are able to infect cereals. The use of contaminated materials can lead to transfer of mycotoxins into the final product, such as beer. The master’s thesis deals with the determination of mycotoxins in beers. The theoretical part of this thesis describes selected mycotoxins, their occurrence, toxic properties and legislative limits of the European Union. The theoretical part also deals with the description of beer production and the possibilities of mycotoxin determination. The theoretical part also describes the statistical methods used for data processing. The experimental part of this work describes the validation of the method for determination of mycotoxins in beers. This section also describes the optimization of mycotoxin extraction using a commercially available 11+Myco MS-PREP® immunoaffinity column. The conditions for the determination of mycotoxins on UPLC-MS/MS are given in this thesis. The validation parameters such as linearity, accuracy, precision, LOD and LOQ were determined. This section contains a description of beer samples used for the determination of mycotoxins. The goal of the thesis was to optimize and validate the method for determination of mycotoxins in beers. From the validation parameters, it was found that this method is suitable for its intended purpose, namely for mycotoxins aflatoxin B1, aflatoxin B2, aflatoxin G1, aflatoxin G2, fumonisin B1, fumonisin B2, fumonisin B3, ochratoxin A, ochratoxin B, zearalenone, -zearalenol, -zearalenol, -zearalanol, -zearalanol, deoxynivalenol, 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol, T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin. The recoveries of this method ranged from 72,2 % to 100,0 %. The validated method was used for determination of above-mentioned mycotoxins in 89 beers. Of the total number of beers, 37 were produced in the Czech Republic and 52 in other European countries. Mycotoxins deoxynivalenol, T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin were found in all beer samples. Common mycotoxins included fumonisin B1, ochratoxin A, -zearalenol and 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol. The mycotoxins aflatoxin B1, aflatoxin B2, aflatoxin G1, fumonisin B2, fumonisin B3, zearalenone and ochratoxin B were identified in less than 50 % of the samples. Mycotoxins aflatoxin G2, -zearalenol, -zearalanol and -zearalanol were not determined in any tested samples. The results of the analysis were subjected to statistical processing where the concentrations determined in Czech and European beers were compared. Principal component analysis and correlation analysis were created for aflatoxin B1, fumonisins, ochratoxin A, -zearalenol, deoxynivalenol, 3-acetlydeoxynivalenol, T-2 toxin and HT-2 toxin. The results of the analysis were compared with published studies.

Changes of sensory active substances during ripening of selected type of natural cheese
Sýkora, Michal ; Buňková, Leona (referee) ; Gregor,, Tomáš (referee) ; Buňka, František (advisor)
The presented dissertation is a study focused on the characterization of sensory quality, especially the flavour of model samples of natural cheeses. Attention is aimed to the composition and content of volatile (sensory active) substances as important markers of flavour and free/bound fatty acids as their precursors. The headspace solid phase microextraction in conjunction with gas chromatography with mass spectrometry was used to determine volatiles. For the determination of fatty acids, the lipids were isolated from the sample with a solvent mixture of diethyl ether and petroleum ether, followed by esterification using a methanolic solution of boron trifluoride as a catalyst and final analysis by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection. The experimental part was divided into two experiments; in experiment I, Moravský bochník type cheeses (45 % fat in dry matter., 60 % dry matter) were analysed, in experiment II, Edam type cheeses (45 % fat in dry matter, 50 % dry matter). Model samples of cheeses were made at Tomas Bata University in Zlín. For all samples, a classical mesophilic culture containing Lactococcus spp. and Leuconostoc spp. was used, this was always supplemented with a suitable monoculture of thermophilic bacteria; in the case of Moravský bochník cultures of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus helveticus and in the case of Edam cheeses Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus plantarum. The essence of both experiments was to assess the influence of the used microbial cultures on the above-mentioned parameters, at the same time their changes during the ripening of the cheeses were monitored. The results showed that the addition of thermophilic cultures, as well as the maturation process did not affect the number of fatty acids or volatiles, but significant differences were found in their content. The content of bound fatty acids decreased during cheese ripening due to ongoing lipolytic changes while increasing the content of free fatty acids and their subsequent degradation to volatile substances, which ultimately contribute to the taste and aroma of the cheese. Ketones and acids were the most quantitatively present in all samples. During maturation, contrary to expectations, the content of identified volatiles also decreased. The addition of the thermophilic cultures didn’t have a clear effect and varied depending on the maturation phase. In the first phase, although they showed more pronounced lipolytic activity, the subsequent metabolic processes - the breakdown of free fatty acids into volatile substances, compensated for these differences. These results confirm a significant share of the basic mesophilic culture in the formation of volatile substances, in particular the flavour of cheeses.
