Elemental analysis of the different gooseberries varieties
Nývltová, Barbora ; Pořízka, Jaromír (referee) ; Diviš, Pavel (advisor)
This bachelor thesis describes and explores the elemental analysis of several new varieties of red and green gooseberries. The theoretical part deals with the history, taxonomy, cultivation and biological characteristics of gooseberry. The next part of the thesis is focus on the summary of nutritional parameters of the analyzed elements and it also describes the methods which characterize the analysis in the food use. The experimental part deals with the preparation of the sample, its subsequent decomposition by using wet way and of the actual analysis using the technique ICP-OES. The sample was provided by “Výzkumný a šlechtitelský ústav ovocnářský v Holovousích, s.r.o.”. The results of analyzed elements (Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, P, Zn, Ca, K, Na) in the various varieties of gooseberry were further evaluated using statistical methods. These results were then compared with the available databases. The most promising in terms of the content of individual elements proved to be a variety of red gooseberry Rolonda and Jocheline, a variety of green gooseberry Invicta and Mucurines.

Analysis of milk by ICP-OES technique
Kaňová, Veronika ; Hrstka, Miroslav (referee) ; Diviš, Pavel (advisor)
The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the chemical composition of cow’s milk, with the description of chosen methods of sample pretreatment and with the description of the used technique ICP-OES. The practical part is aimed at individual preparations of samples and at analysis of chosen chemical elements (Ca, Na, K, Mg a P). Milk is a really complicated polydisperse system. The preparation of samples with milk is very important step before the measurement itself. In the thesis a comparison of four selected methods of sample preparation was made: bare dilution, dilution with addition of Triton X 100, wet ashing and sonication. Selected elements were analysed with the help of ICP-OES. Final concentrations were compared with CRM of dried milk. Data showed that the most accurate are methods of preparation of diluted sample and wet ashing. Four different types of milk were analysed with the help of those two selected methods. The diluted samples showed a bigger anomaly of measuring than the mineralization of wet ashing which came to the loss of analyte because of fat elements contained in milk.
