Čokoládové cukrovinky s přidanou hodnotou
Týblová, Kateřina
Chocolate has a high popularity among consumers. With increasing interest in the effect of diet on human health, the effort to produce new and healthier foods also increases. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to design enriched chocolate products. In total, six types of chocolate bars (white, matcha, freeze-dried mango, crushed cocoa beans, ginger, cinnamon) and five types of chocolate pralines (cream, tea with matcha, chia seeds, mango with freeze-dried mango, mango with chilli) were produced. The products then underwent sensory evaluation and measurements of firmness, total polyphenol content and water activity. In the case of chocolate bars, the ingredients affected mainly the taste and overall impression, but it also affected the firmness. The nutritionally valuable ingredients also increased the level of polyphenols with statistically significant difference. Water activity was affected in only one variant. Water activity of pralines was not affected. The total polyphenol content in chocolate pralines was increased in only one variant. The added ingredients affected the firmness of filling, its taste and texture, although there was no statistically significant difference in overall impression.

Pralinky a variabilita jejich výroby
Pešák, Michal
In a first part of the bachelor's thesis is a research of literature concerning history of chocolate itself, legislative requirements, differentiating of a cocoa tree on particular breeds and processing of cocoa beans. In addition to that are mentioned technological steps of creating chocolate matter, its most common defects. The conclusion is dedicated to dessert candies – pralines. Within a practical part were created pralines with three different surface adjustments and three different fillings. As fillings were used peppermint, a passion fruit and salty caramel. Surface adjustments were done by food colours. Created pralines were silver-plated and marbled and compared with pralines with no surface adjustments. A sensory analysis was undertook and from results of sensory questionaries was created a sensory profile for each kind including statistical evaluation. Products were evaluated positively by evaluators, all were characterized by very good quality and execution, therefore no statistically great differences were noticed.

VÝVOJ NOVÝCH RYBÍCH PRODUKTŮ PRO PŘEDŠKOLNÍ DĚTI
KALICOVOVÁ, Veronika
The aim of the diploma thesis was to develop newly innovative fish products. The intention is to increase fish consumption through new developed innovative fish products and proposed recipes. Fish supply healthy polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs) to the human body, including eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are essential for the proper development of the human organism. 11 new products and 13 new recipes were developed, which were subsequently sensory evaluated by the main target group of consumers. Preschool children were chosen as the target group of consumers, because their consuming habits are established in this life period. The new fish products have met all legislative standards and limits of food safety. Nine products were positively evaluated by the target group. Five products were selected for further analyses (fish balls, fish burgers, fish ham, fish mistura, fish sausages). The issue was theoretically studied according to worldwide research studies. In practice, the project was implemented with coordinated comprehensive cooperation with nutritionists, fish product technologists, but also with preschool facility employees, children and their families. The output of this work are new fish products which are available on the market. Fish products were made from the muscle of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus). The market offer of nutritionally high-quality foods which have a positive impact on human health has been increased. At the same, time several recipes from the African catfish (Clarias gariepinus), the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) have been proposed as a guide for easy preparation of healthy dishes.

The effect of selected demographic factors on sensory evaluation and acceptability of commercial milks
TOMÁŠKOVÁ, Denisa
The diploma thesis was focused on a sensory evaluation of selected types of milk (pasteurized and UHT; both as 3.5% and 1.5% of fat content) and their acceptability depending on demographic factors. The next aim was to evaluate a questionnaire survey concerning this commodity. For sensory evaluation, the method of a paired preference test for a pasteurized milk and UHT milk of the same fat content was used. Furthermore, a ranking method for all samples was used. All the participants of the survey were university students. A total of 61 evaluators (average age 24.4 ? 6.7) participated in the sensory analysis and 106 respondents (35 ? 16.9) in the questionnaire survey. Research of the sensory evaluation revealed that evaluators preferred UHT milk and that they liked milks higher in fat more. Questionnaire survey showed that the taste of milk was the most important criterion for decision, followed by quality and the content of fat. Advertisement played the smallest part in a milk selection.

Sensory evaluation and acceptance of dairy products and analogues by milk fat substitution
DOUBRAVOVÁ, Kristýna
Sensory quality of milk products where milk fat was replaced with vegetable fat might have an influence on consumer preferences. The objective of the thesis was to evaluate sensory properties of milk products and products in case of which a part or the whole share of milk fat is replaced with the vegetable one and furthermore, to assess the preferences in case of the selected group of evaluators. For this reason, a sensory analysis of three product pairs was done (whipped cream spray, cheese, chocolate dessert), using a preferential test in which 30 evaluators participated, as well as a questionnaire survey dealing with frequency and preferences of these pro-ducts (n = 80 respondents). From the sensory evaluation, it resulted that the only plant analogue that had a better score in all of the evaluated sensory properties than the product, in case of which milk fat was not replaced, was whipped cream in spray. The questionnaire survey confirmed that the monitored group of respondents preferred the product where milk fat was not replaced with the vegetable one. The most consumed milk product was butter - respondents consumed it daily or 1-2× a week in 84% of cases. Out of the plant products, the older group of respondents preferred coconut drink/cream (24%) and the younger one preferred plant drinks (32%). The results of the thesis then might contribute to being informed better about how plant products are perceived by consumers.

Biopolymer particles based on polyhydroxybutyrate
Gregušková, Zuzana ; Zemanová, Jana (referee) ; Přikryl, Radek (advisor)
This Bachelor´s thesis deals with preparation of abrasive particles from poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and their optimization for cosmetics usage. It explores morphology of prepared particles and its effect on their abrasive ability. Moreover, it compares abrasive effectiveness of prepared particles with those commercially available. Several types of preparation methods of biopolymer particles such as milling, fibre spinning, pelletisation and solution preparation were carried out and optimized. Prepared particles were analysed using scanning electron microscopy. Semi-automatic system for testing of abrasiveness of prepared particles was made up from basic parts of 3D printing machine. This device was tested and calibrated using floral foam and sandpaper with different grades of granularity and used for comparison of abrasiveness of prepared particles. Mechanical response of particles under pressure was also investigated. It was found out that measured mechanical properties correlate with the data from abrasiveness test. Size and shape of particles, their morphology, mechanical properties and abrasiveness can be controlled depending on the preparation method used. Selected prepared and commercial abrasive particles were applied into prepared cosmetic foundations for peeling with the goal of sensory evaluation of abrasive effectiveness of prepared particles.

Testing equivalence and noninferiority
Rychterová, Nela ; Antoch, Jaromír (advisor) ; Omelka, Marek (referee)
This master thesis deals with topics related to the task whether customers are able to recognize a difference between products. First, testing of equivalence and non-inferiority is discussed in detail. It is an important tool when verifying that two products are equivalent or that a new product is not substantially worse than a current product. Afterwards, Thurstone's approach is introduced as a way to evaluate the impact of a stimulus on human senses. Subsequently, using the previous chapters, there is a detailed discussion dealing with three standards wi- dely used in practice in the case when someone needs to apply sensory evaluation to verify whether customers are able to recognize a difference between products. In particular, these are duo-trio, triangle and paired comparison tests. There is a thorough explanation of their statistical base and the tests are compared accor- ding to their power. Furthermore, an approach based on the Thurstone's theory is introduced as an alternative to the standard methods. Moreover, this thesis introduces Saaty's approach to the estimation of a priority vector, which is a useful tool to compare, to order or to choose the best one from n objects. We also introduce another approach to estimation of a priority vector which is based on Saaty's idea. 1

Possibilities of use spelt spikelets for baking products preparation
VOPÁTKOVÁ, Linda
Spelt (Triticum spelt L.) is commonly processed to wholegrain flour, especially in organic quality. Even this type of flour does not usually contain husks which are removed before milling. This thesis aims to evaluate a possibility of utilizing whole grains including husks in the bakery industry and its effect on the quality from the nutritional as well as technological point of view. Quality control analyses were conducted in 17 samples. These included whole meal flour of common wheat, whole meal flour of spelt without husks, white flour of spelt with husks, white flour of common wheat and white flour of spelt. Remaining samples were made of soft four and coarse meal mixed in various proportions. The alpha and omega for the quality of bread and other bakery products is the quality of ingredients, especially the flour. Therefore, it was necessary to determine quality values and conduct corresponding analyses (Zeleny sedimentation test, falling number, wet gluten content, protein content, etc.). All samples were also subject to measuring rheological characteristics of dough using Mixolab II. In whole grain meals, in which there is the highest risk of mycotoxin contamination, incidence of such contamination was surveyed using the ROSA Mycotoxin Strips method. In the end, the bakery test was conducted with selected 11 samples after which the volume of the baked products was evaluated. This was followed by sensory evaluation by respondents following a presented questionnaire. The bakery experiment showed that it is possible to use spelt grains with husks, but this was reflected in the sensory test by the respondents. They preferred products which are more common and they did not positively evaluate the new taste and texture.

Příprava receptury bezlepkového chleba obohaceného o vybrané antioxidanty a posouzení jeho senzorické hodnoty
PECHOVÁ, Klára
Bread has been one of the basic foodstuffs for more than 30,000 years. It´s prepared mainly by baking, where gluten plays an important role. Gluten is important for holding the gas in the dough to achieve the desired structure, texture and volume. At a time when agriculture began to develop, a disease of gluten began to emerge. One of the best known is the intolerance of gluten, the so-called celiac disease, which affect sapproximately 1 % of the world's population. The cause is gluten-rich proteins (prolamins and glutelins), found in wheat, rye, barley and oats. The second known diseaseis gluten allergy, which is often confused with celiac disease. The difference consist in a different autoimmune reaction to the presence of glucose, when the immunization on glucose produces IgE immunoglobulin and does not damage the small intestine mucosa The only possible treatment for patiens with a dinase is a strict gluten-free diet. Gluten-free breads and pastries are one of the main foods for celiac and allergy sufferers. Preparing a dough without gluten is difficult. Proper selection of raw materials plays an important role in meeting sensory properties. The aim of the diploma thesis was to prepare suitable recipe senriched with selected sources of antioxidants. In total, six different recipes were prepared, both from cereal gluten-free flour and legumes flour. Curcuma and red onion skin were selected sources of antioxidants. In the practical part a sensory evaluation of all samples of bread is performed. There was a positive evaluation of the questionnaire itself. When to Cheb the suitability of raw materials and procedures for dough preparation and baking. Based on the DPPH and FRAP tests, antioxidant aktivity was evaluated for all gluten-free bread. Bread senriched with red onion skin have the highest antioxidant activity in both basic bread and basic bread with legume flour. Thus, it can be said that onion skin effectively increase antioxidant activity. In the final part, a financial evaluation of all six types of gluten-free bread was made on the basis of raw materials used as compared to those already purchased in the shop. Based on this finding, it can be said that home preparation is a cheaper option.
