Žůrková, Pavla ; Ing.Gabriela Dereňová (referee) ; Ing.Petr Koflak (advisor)
This work deals with influence of heat processing on longevity of two selected products of the packing company Seliko trading a.s. For the research there were selected products Sterilised sauerkraut in sweet-sour pickle and Fatback spread. Evaluation has been done in laboratory premises of the packing company. There has been monitored mikrobiological stability after heat processing and sensory properties of the mentioned products always with an interval of one month. During the monitored seven months there appeared changes in taste and consistence of the products that are not defective in these products. The microbiological test taken after seven months was negative, just like at the beginning of the experiment. The result of the given findings is that the heat sterilisation was efficient and that during the storage there did not rise number of micro-organisms in the products.

Monitoring of thermophilic organism in evaporation systems
VÁLKOVÁ, Michaela
Study deals with the determination of thermophilic and heat-resistant microorganisms in samples of skim milk. Furthermore, the problems of determining the thermophilic microorganisms in samples of whey. The most important microorganisms causing spoilage of milk and dairy products include certain species of the genera Bacillus and Clostridium. Thermophilic microorganisms have optimum growth temperature between 55 and 60 ° C. Removed material (skimmed milk and whey) was plated onto agar GTK and cultured in an incubator for 3 days at 55 ° C. Heat resistant microorganisms are characterized by resistance to heat. Prior to inoculation was necessary to inactivate other microorganisms by pasteurizing milk (85 ° C, 10 minutes). The inoculated Petri's dishes were cultured for 3 days at 55 ° C. Analysing removed material, it was found that the number of thermophilic micro-organisms in samples of skim milk does not exceed an internal limit the value of 3000 colonies per 1 ml or a gram of product (value determined Southbohemian dairy Madeta a.s.). The number of heat-resistant microorganisms has not exceeded the limit value of 2000 micro-organisms per 1 milliliter or gram. The resulting numbers of thermophilic microorganisms in samples of whey were almost identical to the results provided by Madeta a.s. factory Plana nad Luznici. The results show that after the introduction of new sanitary measures numbers of thermophilic and heat-resistant microorganisms fell sharply.

Methods for prolonging the shelf life of minced fish meat
KUBÍK, Michal
The initial part of this work sums up the methods of mechanical mincing of fish meat and food safety. The fish meat processing methods are described in detail and supplemented with the respective legislative. The primary factors affecting the quality and usability of the product are the changes caused by proteolysis and autolysis, the occurrence of microorganisms and biogenic amines. These processes are natural; they may only be delayed or reduced in intensity. Despite the possibility of using different preservatives, we need to pay attention to the basic hygienic and technological processes particularly in shortening their duration and storage conditions, especially the temperature. The major part of the research focuses on the possibility of using the enzyme preparation of SEA-i and its impact on the occurrence of biogenic amines, coliform bacteria and the total number of microorganisms in separated carp meat in smoking and liquid smoke treatment. Using SEA-i has proved to be a suitable means for preventing the development of biogenic amines. He was able to suppress the development of histamine below the detectable limit and the amount of putrescine decreased to 24 mg.kg-1 compared to the control group with the appearance of 89 mg.kg-1. For other biogenic amines has also demonstrated potent inhibitory effect. Its effect was also demonstrated in the total number of microorganisms.

Reducing of microorganisms in meat products - effect of storage temperature
ZÁHOROVÁ, Jana
In this thesis I deal with the influence of storage temperature on reducing the number of microorganisms in meat products. In this work is analyzed cooling and freezing storage of meat and meat products. The next section provides an overview of the major contributors to food-borne illness (Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Campylobacter, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, etc.). At the end of research is the mention of the HACCP system. The research was focused on the refrigerated storage of whole (rod) sausages and vacuum packed sliced meat products, which were further divided into cooked and uncooked meat products. The thesis was evaluated the effect of changes in temperature and storage technology to the number of microorganisms in cooked and uncooked meat products.

Effect of packaging technology for shelf-life products
RYKROVÁ, Lucie
Microbiological quality of food is important both because of hygiene and health and has a significant influence on the shelf life of foods. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate samples of meat products for contamination by microorganisms. There was soft meat product, the product heat-processed and heat-treated. Evaluated how they affect the product and then cutting up into the vacuum packaging the total number of microorganisms, the influence of ambient temperature on the development of bacteria and the production have been using the new technology will benefit the health quality of the product. As revealed from the results, a product bar showed fewer organisms than product, which was sliced and then packaged in a vacuum. The fault was apparently slicing equipment that was not completely disinfected, and there was a transfer of bacteria. Therefore, it is necessary to improve sanitation and to see to their strict compliance. Resulting in the effect of temperature on the growth of microorganisms. The rising temperature is increased, the number of microorganisms. Use of air-conditioned chambers in the production of meat products is shown in terms of reducing the total number of microorganisms as a positive.

The Luminars - a convolute of illuminational bodies
VODÁKOVÁ, Helena
The Diploma thesis introduces the luminars as the creative objects importing the light into our homes and effecting our mood. The objects are modeled of the slurry combined with glass. These are determined to the installation on the table, floor, wall and ceiling. For the shape I was inspired by MICROCOSM = a world of unicellular living being, before all by the protozoans. It is a world full of bizar structures and shapes. The simplicity and expediency of the protozoans offers the inexhaustible amount of ideas. Each of the objects has got its adumbrating image in some of the protozoans. Teir shapes, determination of kind, conditions, in which they live, were determinating the luminars´ visage. Although the inspiring source is stating them the individual luminars presents original, solitary objects.
