Lošková, Tereza ; Diviš, Pavel (referee) ; Vespalcová, Milena (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the determining of anthocyanin pigments in the extracts of elderberry marc (Sambucus nigra L.). The theoretical part is divided into four main chapters. In the first chapter there is botanical characteristics of elderberry, its origin and occurrence, chemical composition and the possibilities of usage in a food industry. The second part is devoted to characterization of phenolic compounds in berry fruits. Bigger attention is given to anthocyanin dyes, its occurrence, properties, health and antioxidant effects and the possibilities of usage in food industry. The third chapter is devoted to methods of determination of discussed dyes and phenolic compounds. The fourth chapter deals with the possibilities of disruption of plant cell walls. In the experimental part a series of elderberry marc's extraction was made. The purpose was to optimize the extraction course and to get the highest yield of dyes in an economically and operationally acceptable way. Time dependence of extractions was studied and a kind of extraction solvent and a ratio of its components were optimized. Distilled water or its mixture with ethanol was used as a solvent. During the water extraction the temperatures 25 °C and 50 °C were maintained and with the higher temperature the higher yields were obtained. Apart from this another supporting components as cellulolytic enzyme, ultrasound or shaker were used. The most effective method of extraction proved to be the extraction by the mixture water-ethanol (50:50) in the volume 80 mL. The total anthocyanins yield of this extraction was, expressed as cyanidin-3-glucoside equivalent, 914,4 ± 3,8 mg100 g-1 dry weight after 10 hours and the total phenolics yield was, expressed as gallic acid equivalent, 1957,0 ± 9,9 mg100 g-1 dry weight at the same time. The usage of ultrasound increased the efficiency of the extraction by water at 50 °C by 12 %. On the contrary, the usage of cellulolytic enzyme didn't increase the anthocyanin yield, because the enzyme was inactive.

Fortification of selected cereal products
Hurtová, Jana ; RNDr.Renata Mikulíková, Ph.D. (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
Present diploma thesis describes the study of bioactive compounds in the cereals. The work is focused on possible fortification of cereal products in order to increase nutritional value of final products which is reduced during the food processing and storage. Cereal grains are rich in several phenolic compounds, vitamins and minerals that reduce the risk of chronic diseases. The aim of this study was the preparation and analysis of model fortified cereals using lyophilized fruit originating from Czech Republic. A comparative analysis of content of bioactive substances in commercial and fortified products for children was performed too. The experimental part deals with a content of individual flavonoids by RP-HPLC/UV/VIS method, spectrophotometric determination of total and reducing saccharides and analysis of mono- and disaccharides by the HPLC/RI method as well. Differences in the content of individual flavonoids and saccharides after the application of acid hydrolysis of samples were investigated. The content of these compounds increased in most products because of their release from glycosidic forms. Presence of phenolics was confirmed in all analyzed cereals. Addition of 10% of lyophilized fruit/vegetable preparative (carrot, berries, apples) caused several fold increase of phenolics content in model mixtures. In commercially available cereal products there are relatively high differences in total phenolics content, proportionally to fruit component amount. The work included the spectrophotometric analysis of total polyphenols and flavonoids in a model physiological environment (artificial stomach juice) in which the hydrolysis of bound phenolic compounds occurred. The results of this study show that addition of lyophilized fruit seems to be a good way to increase the nutritional value and maintain the content of bioactive compounds in cereal products.

Valentová, Radka ; Melounová, Jitka (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
Presented diploma thesis is focused on analysis of selected biologically active substances in different kinds of natural and peeled rice. In rice samples phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, content of saccharides and vitamin C were analysed. Active substances and saccharides were analysed by UV-VIS spectrophotometry and RP-HPLC-UV/VIS. Content of phenolic compounds and saccharides was measured before and after acid hydrolysis. The content of these compounds increased several times because of release of active substances from glycosides. As a part of diploma thesis basic sensory analysis was performed and consumer questionnaires were evaluated. The highest level of antioxidant activity was detected in Indian Wild rice. The highest content of total polyphenols and flavonoids was detected in Red Rice Natural before acid hydrolysis. After acid hydrolysis the highest content was detected in Indian Wild rice. The highest content of individual flavonoids, phenolic acids and catechins was detected in natural rice Indian Wild, Rice Three colours and in two samples of rice parboiled. The highest content of total and reducing saccharides was found in rice Indian Wild before hydrolysis, while after hydrolysis the content was very similar in all rice samples. The amount of individual monosaccharides after acid hydrolysis increased, while total content of disaccharides decreased. The highest value of simple sugars was detected in rice parboiled and Indian Wild rice. The content of vitamin C was detected only in four rice kinds - in two samples of rice parboiled, Rice Three colours and rice Indian Wild.

Holovic, Michal
Diploma thesis dealt with studying and evaluating the impact of fortification in different stages of maceration/fermentation on antioxidant properties of wine. The literary part of the work was clearly described chapters on various production methods and types of fortified wines, different classes of phenolic substances present in wine and study of antioxidant activity of wine and methods of assessment. In the practical part, were selected three blue grape variety from which it was successively produced 9 samples fortified wines. Time fortification took place in three different stages of maceration. The first was the fortification to the must before the start of fermentation, a second fortification during the fermentation of sugar - fermentation to about 7 % by volume alcohol, and the third fortification after fermentation in young dry wine. Fortification was carried out by adding the calculated amount of spirit in the volume of wine or must, at the same level of spirituosity all the resulting wine samples. After some time joining the distillate was carried out basic analysis of wine samples and determination of the profile of phenolic compounds. Spectrophotometric method was further assessed total content of phenolic compounds, flavanols, anthocyanins and antioxidant activity, which was determined by two different methods. Basic analysis and spectrophotometric measurements were performed in triplicate and the results were averaged. Samples of fortified wines were finally sensory evaluated participation of 12 tasters, and all the results summarized in tables and graphs, statistically evaluated and described in drawing conclusions for practical use.
