Use of LC/MS technique to analysis of some physiologically active natural compounds
Trčková, Marie ; Čáslavský, Josef (referee) ; Kočí, Radka (advisor)
Presented work is focused on application of combined instrumental method RP-HPLC/ESI-MS in analysis of several groups of natural compounds with positive physiological activities. Especially some antioxidants were studied in commonly and abundantly consumed food. Moreover some other substances than standard compounds were observed in complex dies. In conclusion the HPLC/ESI-MS method is comparatively advantageous in phenolic analysis, while another type of ionisation would be used in case of carotenoid compound.

Use of selected fluorescence techniques to characterization of microbial cells
Vaněk, Martin ; Pekař, Miloslav (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
Carotenoids are one of the most abundant natural pigment. Furthermore, they have great potential for wide industrial utilization. Nowadays, prefered (and cheaper) synthetic method counters progressively improved biotechnological production. Far more cheaper production should be reached via implementing methods of on-line optimization, such as flow cytometry. In this thesis the dependence of yeasts autotofluorescence intensity on carotenoids concentration in dry mass was studied. The dependence was established by means of linear regression. Moreover, the dependence between light scatter and the amount of dry mass was established by means of model utilizing forward scatter, side scatter and number of cells in unit volume. Yeasts' cells was also studied under the lenses of laser scanning confocal microscope. The goal was to localize carotenoids inside cells. Experiments undertaken suggest that they are localized inside the lipidic granules, but more experiments are required for a proof.

Production of selected metabolites by carotenogenic yeasts cultivated on food wastes
Turková, Lucie ; Hlaváček, Viliam (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
The production of selected metabolites, especially carotenoids, ergosterol and coenzyme Q was observed in four red yeast strains (Cystofilobasidium capitatum, Rhodotorula glutinis, Sporobolomyces shibatanus a Sporobolomyces roseus) cultivated on viticulture waste substrates such as skins and stem. In these substrates the content of carbohydrates, fat, tannins and polyphenols was analysed. Cultivations were done also on chemically and enzymatically hydrolysed substrates. For enzyme hydrolysis the extracellular enzyme cocktails of the fungi Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Penicillium lilacinum were used. The highest production of metabolites was observed in S. roseus cultivated on stem hydrolysed by enzymes from P. chrysosporium. The yield of -carotene reached 616,1 g/g dry mass, carotenoids 753,6 g/g dry mass, ergosterol 415,5 g/g dry mass and coenzym Q 77,9 g/g dry mass. S. roseus reached very high yields also in the other series of cultivation. The lowest production of metabolites was observed in S. shibatanus. The yield coefficients of biomass and -carotene were calculated based on consumption of reducing sugars.

Potential use of waste lipid substrates and glycerol to production of carotenoids by yeasts
Kostovová, Iveta ; Obruča, Stanislav (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
The aim of this study was use of lipid waste substrates and waste glycerol as carbon sources for red yeasts. Six yeast strains, namely Rhodotorula glutinis, Rhodotorula rubra, Rhodotorula aurantiaca, Cystofilobasidium capitatum, Sporobolomyces roseus and Sporobolomyces shibatanus were used for cultivation. All studied yeast strains were able to utilize glycerol and rapeseed oil as a carbon source. Cultivation in oil medium was in most of strains accompanied by decreased production of carotenoids. Increased production of ergosterol, lycopene and biomass was observed in some strains only. Most of yeast strains cultivated in glycerol medium produced increased amount of biomass as well as carotenoids. The best producer of bi-omass and pigments was yeast strain Sporobolomyces roseus CCY 19-6-4 grown in medium containing glucose and glycerol in a 1:1 ratio.

Production of carotenoids by red yeasts grown on some waste substrates
Kubáčková, Martina ; Čarnecká, Martina (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
Carotenoids belong to the most widespread and abundant classes of natural pigments with utilised in food industry, pharmacy and cosmetics. Presented work was realized as a comparative study of some substrates for cultivation of red yeast Rhodotorula glutinis, which produces carotenoid pigments. Yeasts were cultivated in different media with several waste substrates (for example potato fiber, apple waste, cereals, grains, etc.) as nutrition sources. To some substrates hydrolytic enzymes isolated from the fungi genus Fusarium were added. Majority of waste substrates were acceptable for cultivation. However, the best conditions for production of carotenoid enriched biomass (6,4 g/l of biomass enriched 3,2 mg /g of beta-carotene) exhibited media with hydrolytic fungal enzymes.

Kvalitativní hodnocení ekologicky a konvenčně pěstovaných tykví (Cucurbita maxima Duch.)
Kneblová, Lenka
This graduation thesis was developed at the Department of Vegetable Growing and Floriculture in year 2013/2014. The work solves the issue of the pumpkin production (Cucurbita maxima Duch.) in the system of ecological and conventional production including quality parameter evaluation. The differences in the quality between products coming from organic and conventional agriculture are explained in the literary part. The study also characterizes the ecological production legislative. The theoretical part deals with the description and cultivation of the pumpkins. The experimental part is focused on the evaluation of content substances, such as vitamin C, dry matter, carotenoids. Another of the monitored parameters are color change and weight loss during storage. In the measured parameters were found significant differences in the content of dry matter and discoloration.

Monitoring flavonoidních látek a karotenoidů ve vybraných doplňcích stravy
Hynštová, Veronika
Dietary food supplements are among the most rapidly growing sectors in the food product industry. The majority of consumers trust in the safety and efficacy of these products. For these reasons is a quality control required and analytical methodologies for this must be used. For identification and quantitative analysis four flavonoids diosmin, hesperidin, rutin and troxerutin in food supplements was used HPLC/MS method. For identification and quantitative analysis three carotenoids betacarotene, lutein and zeaxanthin in food supplements was used HPLC/UV/ViS/DAD method. Separation of flavonoids was achieved on the column ZORBAX POROSHELL 120 EC-C18 (50 x 4,6 mm, 2,7 um) and separation of carotenoids on the column ZORBAX SB CN (75 x 4,6 mm, 3,5 um). The amount of flavonoids and carotenoids in tablets and capsules was determined altogether in 12 different commercial preparations.

Antioxidants in food and possibilities of nutrition application
DUBNOVÁ, Martina
The bachelor thesis concerns with the occurrence of antioxidants in foods, the possibilities of their applications in nutrition and population awareness on the topic antioxidants. The theoretical part describes the types of antioxidants, effects on human health and occurrence in foods and their recommended daily dosage. Further characterize free radicals and their negative effects on the organism. The practical part contains the research of the knowledge about antioxidants in the population in the form of a questionnaire. The results are analyzed and charted. The antioxidants are known by 82% of respondents. For the question ?What the antioxidants are used for? answered 54% of respondents correctly. In which foods the antioxidants are is known by 58% of respondents. The greatest awareness of antioxidants is in the group of workers, as well as students and in the group of retired respondents is the awareness of antioxidants slightest. Research shows that awareness of antioxidants which play a major role today in the prevention and treatment of lifestyle diseases and shows that more than half of respondent?s answers were inadequate.
