Nutritional quality evaluation of school dinners and monitoring of food habits and their changes at students of multiannual gymnasium
HAVEL, David
The aim of this diploma thesis was to evaluate the eating habits of students at a grammar school. We directly monitored students of the first, third, fifth and seventh year of an eight-year grammar school in Trebon during the academic year 2010/2011. The research can be divided into several parts. The first part of this work consists of evaluating the nutritional quality of lunches of selected micronutrients and macronutrients and comparison with the standard requirements for the age brackets. The second part is focused on the diversity of diets in terms of representation of individual foods and meals. These data were compared with the recommended consumption basket. In the third part I monitored eating habits of students by using a questionnaire survey. In the fourth part there is a comparison of BMI values of individual pupils at the beginning and at the end of the school year, including the assignment of percentile. The hypothesis test was evaluated in the fifth part of this thesis. Regarding to the analysis of the various menus was found that annual energy intake from lunch of the students in the first and third year of a grammar school was less than the recommended values. By the contrast this is met by students in the fifth and seventh year of an eight-year grammar school. Annual protein intake from lunch in all classes reached the high value. Fat intake by the students in the first and the third year was in a range of the recommended standards. A slight increase of the macronutrients was found out in meal of students in the fifth and seventh year. The daily recommended intake of carbohydrate was in the average year-round directly lower; about 3,3% the first class, 3,6% the third class and 2,05% the seventh class. Lunch in the fifth year of an eight-year grammar school achieved the desired quantity. The analysis also shows that the intake of dietary fibre was at all four classes of students in sufficient quantities. The intake of calcium in all classes was lower than the recommended standard. The intake of magnesium was higher in all classes than is recommended. Lunch of students in all classes contains a sufficient representation of other minerals. The daily recommended intake of vitamin A in all classes was higher than the given recommended valueThe daily recommended dose of vitamin C was received in the amount of 108% in the first class, 117% in the third, 128,4% in the fifth, 125,6% in the seventh. According to the research vitamin B6 and B12 was received in excess. By comparing the diversity of menus was found that the consumption of yeast soup fails. Pulses soups were represented by the standard. This research also discovered the lack of meat-less/vegetarian meals, chicken and pulses meals. On the other hand fried, sweet meals and pork meat was chosen very often. It should be noted that diversity is influenced by the students themselves, by their choice at all. The survey shows that there is the same amount of students who have breakfast and the same amount of those who don´t. The eating of morning and afternoon snacks is likely rare. Student who took part in this survey also pointed out that they have lunch regularly in the school canteen. Nobody mention his/her distaste to daily consumption of fruit or vegetables. The fluid intake was inadequate in most cases. BMI for most students is in the norm. There is only a minimum of respondents with low weight, overweight or obese. Hypothesis testing has not shown that the missing breakfast causes higher BMI. The level of eating at the eight-year grammar school measured in the studied canteen corresponds to the most evaluated parameters to the nutritional requirements of children's ages. Consumer basket is filled, but the variety of the menu is influenced by the consumers themselves.

The usage of organic food at the kindergartens (České Budějovice)
MESÁROŠOVÁ, Michaela
This thesis deals with research in the use possibilities of organic food in kindergartens in the town of České Budějovice on two levels (management and parents).It was found out that some of the kindergartens are using organic food. The biggest barrier to the using of organic food in kindergartens is their price. Most parents are satisfied with the quality of food in their kindergartens. Furthermore it could be said, that the parents know organic food but it can?t be confirmed the hypothesis that says parents would welcome the use of organic food in kindergarten?s canteens. The results indicate that not all the parents are able to accept the minimum of price increase in meal at the kindergartens. In the end there are recommended some local organic food which could be appropriate for using in the kindergartens in the town of České Budějovice.

Nutritional quality of younger pupils
JURÁSKOVÁ, Petra
The thesis deals with nutrition and catering for younger school children. The actual research was carried out at Vltava Primary School and Primary School of Arts, Bezdrevská 3, České Budějovice and it can be divided into four parts. The first part was based on assessment of menus in the period from September 2009 to June 2010. The individual meals were analysed by means of modern nutrition software NutriDan and subsequently compared with the standard requirement of energy and selected macronutrients and micronutrients according to Nevoral et al., (2003). Pursuant to Ordinance No 107/2008 Coll. on school catering, the calculation is based on the average figure of 35 % of the total daily nutrition ratio for lunch. In the second part of the research, variety of menus was assessed on the basis of the frequency of repetition of the individual meals in a month in the school canteen. The third part of the research was focused on eating habits of pupils by means of a questionnaire. The fourth part was based on testing of the hypotheses. From the research carried out it was found out that energy intake was only met for the first grade pupils (6-year-olds), for the third grade (8-year-olds) and fifth grade (10-year-olds) the energy intake was low. The protein intake from lunch was high in all the monitored grades. The values exceeded 100 % RDI. Fat content was very high for the first grade pupils and on average it achieved 44.60 % RDI for boys and 47.27 % RDI for girls. For the third and fifth grade pupils it was sufficient. Carbohydrate content was sufficient for the first grade pupils, for the third grade pupils it was low during the whole school year when the average was 29.62 % RDI and for the fifth grade pupils the average was 27.67 % RDI. Fibre was supplied sufficiently for all the questioned pupils. From the monitored micronutrients, calcium was supplied deficiently. The content of selected vitamins was high, especially as regards the B group vitamins. Vitamin A was at the low level of supply, for the first grade pupils it reached 31 % RDI, for the third grade pupils 27.13 % RDI and for the fifth grade pupils 26.60 % RDI. The assessment of variety of menus showed insufficient inclusion of legume soups, fish, vegetarian vegetable dishes, fruit and vegetables. In some months pork meat was included excessively. The questionnaire-based research shows that with growing age, the consumption of breakfasts, morning snacks and afternoon snacks was decreased and also eating in school canteens decreased. Fluid intake is sufficient. The tested hypotheses proved these conclusions: the BMI index of girls is higher than the BMI index of boys,carbohydrate intake is high for children, fluid intake is sufficient.

MILERETOVÁ, Jana
The diploma thesis was conducted at basic school of T.G.M. in Blatna in a school year 2009/2010. The purpose of the diploma theses was to evaluate the school food (lunch) and its nutrition in comparison to given standard norms for young children. Target group were students of fifth grade/class, seventh grade/class and ninth grade/class. All lunch menus of school year 2009/2010 were collected and analysed in a program NutriDan. Results were compared with relevant standard norms of nutrition which are saying the lunch is 35% of daily nutrition (DDD) of young children. Second part of the survey was oriented on variety of food indicated by Ministry of health. Method used in the survey was a questionnaire. Questionnaire was looking at habits of young children in relation to food and eating habits at school and home. Final part of the diploma theses is a statistical overview of three testing hypotheses. Outcome of lunch menus evaluation showed that in line with the standard lunch nutrition, which is in an average 35% of the DDD, were only girls of fifth grade where an average lunch nutrition was even 38% and girls of seventh grade where an average lunch nutrition was 35%. Rest of the target group did not meet standard lunch nutrition level. Proteins norms were in all three grades above standard limits. Students of fifth grade had proteins level in a range between 92-151% of the DDD (average was 103%), for students of seventh grade was the range between 70-114% of the DDD (average was 80%) and for students of ninth grade was the range between 53-95% of the DDD. Recommended daily fat amount was higher in the whole target group apart of the group of boys of the ninth grade. For boys of the fifth grade the range was between 34-69% of the DDD (average was 42%), for girls of the fifth grade the range was between 39-79% of the DDD (average was 48%). For boys of the seventh grade was the range slightly above the limit with results between 29-58% of the DDD (average was 36%), for girls of the same grade was the range between 36-72% of the DDD (average was 44%). For girls of the ninth grade was the range between 30-46% of the DDD (average was 37%) and as already indicated the range of boys of the ninth grade was between 24-37% of the DDD (average was only 30%). Level of carbohydrates was in all three grades unsatisfactory. For students of the fifth grade was the range between 23-36% of the DDD (average was 28%). For students of the seventh grade was the range between 20-33% of the DDD (average was 25%) and for students of the ninth grade the range was between 18-33% of the DDD (average was 23%).

BARTOŠ, Ladislav
Diploma thesis is based on the research which was carried out at the Primary school Velešín in the school year 2007/2008 and was focused on the pupils of fifth, seventh and ninth grades. The objective of the thesis was the analysis of the menus to find out saturation by macro-nutrients and selected micro-nutrients according to the nutritional requirements for school children. Research investigation might be divided into four parts. First part lied in the collection of the menus for the school year, their analysis in the programme NutriDan and following comparison to the norm of need of a school lunch, which is 35 % of a total daily nutritional dose. In the second part the variety of menus was assessed on the basis of repetition rate of particular meals in the school canteen in a month. The third part was the carrying out a questionnaire research of eating habits in pupils. In the fourth part the testing hypotheses were statistically assessed by means of chi-square distribution test. Out of gained results it was found out that required energy was fulfilled only in girls of ninth grade. The fulfilment was at the level 36.14{--}38.29 % of recommended daily dose (RDD). In other grades the energy was undervalued. Proteins were over the limit through the whole year. In the pupils of the fifth grade the fulfilment was in the interval 72.66{--}98.24 % of RDD (the average was 84.7 %), in the pupils of the seventh grade in the interval 55.28{--}74.22 % of RDD (the average was 64.2 %) and in the pupils of ninth grade in the interval 64.93{--}103.15 % of RDD (the average was 82 %). The fulfilment of carbohydrates was insufficient. In the fifth grade it was in the interval 18.81{--}25.35 % of RDD, in the seventh grade only in the interval 16.27{--}23.52 % of RDD and in ninth grade in the interval 21.54{--}29 % of RDD. The intake of lipids was excessive in the girls of the ninth grade (37.56{--}46.21 % of RDD). The fibre was in the norm of need. Out of the observed micronutrients calcium was deficient; the fulfilment was not over 21.62 % of RDD in the pupils of the fifth grade, in the pupils of the seventh grade 19.82 % of RDD. In the pupils of the ninth grade the fulfilment was in the interval 21.37{--}27.86 % of RDD. Through the whole year, vitamins B6 and B12 were over the limit. By the assessment of variety the low rates of leguminous soups, fish, fruit and vegetables were found out. Pork meat and sweet meals were excessive in several months. In boys increasing trend of Body Mass Index (BMI) depending on their age was evident; with higher age more respondents left out breakfast and had lunch more off the school canteen, which might be one of the causes of overweight or obesity in children. The consumption of fruit and vegetables was insufficient. Tested hypotheses proved the following: physical activity did not depend on respondents{\crq} sex; respondents{\crq} BMI depended on regular consumption of breakfast, time spent at a TV set and a computer did not depend on the age of respondents.

Analysis of school catering
Martinásková, Marie ; Mlejnková, Lena (advisor) ; Jarolímková, Liběna (referee)
School catering is one form of public catering. People who work in sphere of school catering have to observe very strict rules of sanitary code and to follow conventions of rational nutrition. Nutritious food is important for young people and their growth. The experience with the school dining should be very useful for the child. He should learn how to intercommon and how to follow healthy lifestyle. In the last five years, fewer children eat school lunches in Czech Republic. This fact is caused by decrease of children in elementary schools. We used a questionnaire to analyze school dining in the elementary school FZŠ Barrandov II. The results were satisfying. Three-quarter of children from this school uses services of school dining and the major part is content with it. The analysis will be delivered immediately to the caterer. Hopefully, it will be used for improvement of the school kitchen services.
