Smart food polymer layers
Valíková, Michaela ; Kovalčík, Adriána (referee) ; Veselá, Mária (advisor)
Smart packaging represents a group of packaging with great potential when used in the food industry. Active packaging can have a positive effect on the condition of stored food and smart packaging can inform consumers about the condition of stored food. In the theoretical part, a search was made on the topic of packaging in the food industry, with emphasis on active and intelligent packaging, including the legislative framework. The substances from which smart packaging is made have been described. In the experimental part, partially water¬insoluble polymer layers were prepared from gelatin, glycerol, crosslinking agent and anthocyanin extract. Glutaraldehyde or tannic acid was used as a crosslinking agent. Anthocyanins were obtained by extraction from red cabbage. The total concentration of anthocyanins in the extract was determined by the difference method. For prepared layers, their water solubility was measured and the colour response to the pH environment was evaluated spectrophotometrically. The stability of the layers over time was also monitored. It was found that the prepared layers are able respond to changes in pH.
Determination of antimicrobial activity of herbal extracts
Žitková, Barbora ; Veselá, Mária (referee) ; Vítová, Eva (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to observe the antimicrobial activity of selected herbal extracts and essential oils against three selected microorganisms, bacteria – Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli and the yeast Candida glabrata. Two diffusion methods were used to verify and compare the antimicrobial activity, namely the diffusion well and disk method. The theoretical part describes the characteristic of plants from which extracts and oils were made. It also focuses on active substances, vitamins and minerals contained in herbs. Other methods that can be used to determine antimicrobial activity are also mentioned in the work. At the end of the theoretical part the characteristic of the microorganisms used for observation is mentioned. The result of the diffusion well method shows that only eucalypt oil showed antimicrobial activity against all selected microorganisms. It was most effective against Bacillus cereus with an inhibition zone size of 1.73 ± 0.11 cm. The result of the diffusion disk method shows that there are two oils which showed antimicrobial activity against selected microorganisms, namely marrow and eucalypt oil. Nevertheless, the most effective oil was made of mint against Bacillus cereus with an inhibition zone size of 1.57 ± 0.31 cm.

Lehnert, Filip ; Plchot, Oldřich (referee) ; Szőke, Igor (advisor)
The objective of this thesis is to implement a set of scripts to improve the transfer of various types of documents into fully text. There appears noise and not entirely correct character conversion by converting various file formats. These scripts extracted text file cleans so that the resulting text is readable, make sense and does not contain any residues of various characters appearing by the transfer of graphs, tables, formulas, etc. The script works universally and does not require input solely by OCR tools or converting from PDF or web.
Characterization of edible films with the potential usage in food packaging
Jančíková, Simona ; Vítová, Eva (referee) ; Veselá, Mária (advisor)
In the last years, the edible packaging has been gaining popularity due to the potential usage as the packaging for food instead of synthetic materials. The edible packaging can positively affect the packaged food by the active properties or due to its intelligent properties can monitor the changes in food. In theory, the legislation about the packaging of food and edible packaging was described. The substances for edible films preparation and additives, which can improve the properties of the edible films, were described too. In this part, the undesirable microorganisms occur in food and the chapters about active and intelligent properties of the edible films were summarized. The main aim of the thesis was the practical preparation of edible packaging/films made from furcellaran, gelatin hydrolysate with the addition of water dried or fresh rosemary extracts in concentrations 5 %, 10 %, and 20 %. In the experimental part, the physical analysis was done – textural parameters such as tensile strength and elongation at break, water content, and thickness. In the chemical analysis the total polyphenols content, determination of polyphenols by HPLC, antioxidant activity, optical properties and antimicrobial activity of the prepared edible films were done. There were found out, that the total polyphenols content and antioxidant activity were the highest in the 20%DR (TPC: 6,79 ± 0,06 mg gallic acid/g; DPPH: 87,84 ± 0,07 %). Also, the 20%DR and 20%FR changed color in different pH (3 and 12). The antimicrobial activity was negative. The thesis showed that the addition of natural extracts to edible films can increase the polyphenols content and they can also work as the UV protector.
Imunomodulační účinky extraktů z helminta na střevní buněčnou linii potkaního modelu
LEVÁ, Jana
In this study, we examined the immunomodulatory effect of excretory/secretory products, crude adult extracts and crude larvae extracts from Hymenolepis diminuta on the intestinal epithelilal cell line from a rat. For determination of the immunomodulation effect of all H. diminuta extracts was used relative gene expression of TNFa, IL-17re and IL-33 from epithelial cells and it was tested using real-time PCR. Our result showed that excretory/secretory products had the strongest antiinflammatory effect on the epithelial cells. We assume that crude adult extracts play an important role in increase of gene expression of IL-33 and also in the immunomodulatory ability of H. diminuta in the host organism.
Iron-chelating properties of fruit extracts of various elderberries
Gorová, Barbora ; Mladěnka, Přemysl (advisor) ; Kašparová, Marie (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology Candidate: Barbora Gorová Supervisor: Assoc Prof. Přemysl Mladěnka, Pharm.D., Ph.D. Title of thesis: Iron-chelating properties of fruit extracts of various elderberries Inorganic iron is the major food source of iron in humans. It plays role in many biochemical reactions. Thus, iron metabolism disorders can lead to different diseases associated with lack of iron or iron overload. One of the possible treatment modalities of the latter represents the administration of iron chelators. Elderberry, Sambucus nigra L. (Adoxaceae), has been used in traditional medicine. The fruits of elderberry are a rich source of cyanidin-based anthocyanins as the main component. There are important differences, both in chemical and physical properties between several cultivars of elderberry. Anthocyanins might interact with metals in the gastrointestinal tract by formation of chelates. However, data on metal interactions with anthocyanins are sparse. The main aim of this study was to perform the analysis of interaction of iron with elderberry fruit extracts as a rich and cheap source of anthocyanins with cyanidin as the aglycon. In this in vitro study ten elderberry fruit exctracts were tested for iron chelating activities...

Krůzová, Sabina ; Němcová, Andrea (referee) ; Vespalcová, Milena (advisor)
The thesis deals with the extraction of antioxidants from elder flowers and the way of storage obtained extract. The elder flowers which are obtained by cutting trees as a waste product and after their processing it could be used as an ingredient to cosmetics products for body and face skin or in a spa like additive to baths. In theoretical part are information about black elder, its botanical characteristics, utilization and about substances contained in it. There is also a chapter about lyophilization as a method which was used for concentration of extract. The last chapter describes theoretical information about liquid chromatography because this method was used for analysis of contents of extract. Experimental part describes optimalization steps in preparation of extract. It was found that the biggest content of polyphenolic compounds was when the proportion between flower and water was 1:10, optimal temperature of water for extraction is 100 °C and it was also found that the time of extraction don´t have any influence on content of polyphenols. Thanks to the lyophilization it was obtained dry light brown powder which is stable for long time. The lyophilizate was tested for some physical properties like pH, refractive index, solubility etc. There was also determined antioxidant activity by DPPH method and there was found quenching activity is 64,9 %. In determining of heavy metals in sample was found trace amounts of lead and chrome. By liquid chromatography was determined content of polyphenols, caffeic acid was in an amount 59,6 mgl1, chlorogenic acid 398 mgl1 and ferulic acid wasn´t detected. All of analysis was for 1% solution of extract because to cosmetic it could be just this amount to addition. In the last step was prepared a skin lotion with elder flower extract and it was tested for stability also was prepared an ointment from pork lard.
