Vopelková, Dominika ; Diviš, Pavel (referee) ; Pořízka, Jaromír (advisor)
The aim of this work was to study the influence of the pasteurization and filtration on selected chemical compounds in beer. Specifically, the influence on elemental composition, content of organic acids, carbohydrates and phenolic substances was studied. Optical emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-OES) was used for elemental analysis of beer. Analysis of organic acids was evaluated by Ion chromatography. For analysis of carbohydrates was used High performance liquid chromatography with ELSD detector (HPLC-ELSD), phenolic compounds was evaluated by HPLC with diode array detector (HPLC-DAD). Data from analysis of beer was performed by usage of statistical methods (analysis of variance and principal component analysis). Parameters that showed the most significant differences between individual groups of beers were obtained. Correlations between the variables and the technological beer processing operations were found. 12 parameters of total 23 were affected. The effect of filtration and pasteurization was observed in content of the iron, silicon, potassium and magnesium, malate, monosaccharides glucose and fructose and phenolic compounds.

The study of various methods of preparation of the milk sample for milk analysis by ICP-OES technique
Kaňová, Veronika ; Vítová, Eva (referee) ; Diviš, Pavel (advisor)
The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the chemical composition of cow’s milk, with the description of chosen methods of sample pretreatment and with the description of the used technique ICP-OES. The practical part is aimed at individual preparations of samples and at analysis of chosen chemical elements (Ca, Na, K and Mg). Milk is a really complicated polydisperse system, that’s the reason why the preparation of samples with milk is very important step before the measurement itself. In addition to accuracy choosing the sample adjustment method, other factors such as time, work intensity, or cost need to be considered when. In the thesis a comparison of four selected methods of sample preparation was made: direct analyse of milk, dilution with addition of Triton X-100, wet microwave ashing and destruction of matrix with TMAH (tetramethylammonium hydroxide). Selected elements were analysed with the help of ICP-OES. This diploma thesis builds on the bachelor thesis, which deals with the same problem. Final concentrations were compared with certified values of skimmed powdered milk. Data showed that the most accurate are methods of preparation of wet microwave ashing and destruction of matrix with TMAH. By using these methods, the effect of the dairy matrix that caused problems in the analysis, was largely eliminated. The diluted samples with and without Triton X-100 showed a bigger anomaly of measuring than the mineralization of wet ashing which came to the loss of analyte because of fat elements contained in milk.

Determination of the basic physical and chemical parameters of fruit juice from aronia
Zídková, Anežka ; Jurečková, Zuzana (referee) ; Diviš, Pavel (advisor)
Theoretical part of bachelor´s thesis contains basic information about aronia (Aronia melanocarpa) and examples of their use. There is a description of analysed substances, which are contained in aronia berries, and their importance for human organism. Experimental part is focused on determination of minerals, saccharides and vitamin C in aronia juices, syrups, nectar and aronia wine. Elements were determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Liquid chromatography was chosen for analysis of saccharides and vitamin C. All of analysed products are significant sources of macroelements. The highest concentrations of elements were determined in the sample named Aroniový skorosirup, which was sugared by vaporized apple juice. Fructose and glucose were contained in all products. Sucrose was only in products which were sugared. The amount of vitamin C was lower in consequence of pasteurization and storage.

Study of the migration of selected metals from beverages packaging
Šťávová, Elena ; Vespalcová, Milena (referee) ; Diviš, Pavel (advisor)
This master’s thesis follows on bachelor’s thesis and deals with study of migration of aluminium and tin from metal containers. Manufactory of metal containers, corrosion of cans, chemical behaviour of aluminium and tin in food, its effects on health and possibilities of the determination in food and characterization of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) are described in theoretical part. In experimental part 30 different beverages in cans and glass and 6 tomato purees purchased at common stores were analysed. Measured concentrations of aluminium in beverages from cans and from glass containers were compared. It was found that beverages from cans didn’t contain higher concentrations of aluminium than beverages from glass containers. This could be caused by the fact that the aluminium is very stable metal, it has high corrosive endurance and therefore is very suitable for food packaging. Measured concentrations of tin in tomato purees were compared with the maximum permissible level of tin in canned food determined by European legislation. None of them exceed the 200 mg/kg level. All of the measured concentrations were very low, because all of the cans contained protective layer of lacquer, which gives protection against corrosion and also effectively protects from releasing of tin into the can content.

Moos, Martin ; Řehůřková, Irena (referee) ; Kanický, Viktor (referee) ; Kráčmar, Stanislav (referee) ; Sommer, Lumír (advisor)
The work has been focused on the preconcentration techniques for determination of uranium on the modified sorbent, with the final use of ICP-OES and ICP-MS. First ICP-OES at a wavelength of 385.958 nm was used for determination of uranium. Parameters were optimized and the effect of mineral acids (HCl, HNO3), tensides (Septonex, Ajatin) and organic reagents like (4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol, ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate, 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulphonic acid and 1,2-dihydroxyanthraquinone-3-sulphonic acid) was observed. For ICP-MS an isotope 238U was chosen. As an internal standard 209Bi (200 ?g•l-1) was used. Modified silica gel was used (Silicagel tethered with C18, C8 alkyls and phenyl) and two types of Amberlite XAD 4 and XAD 16 for the preconcentration of uranium (VI). Commercially produced Amberlite was modified as follows: Drying at 100 °C (24 hours), milled, minced sorbent was selected and fractionated to particles size ranging from 0.32 to 0.63 ?m and finally activated in methanol. The deionised water and Septonex (5•10-3 mol•l-1) at pH 8 were used for Amberlite conditioning. The optimal sorption of uranium (VI) proceeded at pH 8 in the presence of 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol or ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate with Amberlite XAD-16 moreover with 1,2-dihydroxyanthraquinone-3-sulphonic acid. All organic reagents have mass concentration five time larger than uranium . For the elution of uranium the mixture of 1 mol•l-1 HNO3 with acetone (ratio of 1:1) was used. Acetone was evaporated and the final analysis performed using ICP-OES. The preconcentration of uranium (VI) using Silicagel-C18 conditioning was performed with ethanol, deionised water and Zephyraminu (5•10-4 mol•l-1) at pH 8. For the Silica-C8 and Silicagel-Phenyl the same conditioning procedure without zephyramin was used. Silica-C18 had the highest sorption efficiency with 1,2-dihydroxyanthraquinone-3-sulphonic acid, Silicagel-C8 with ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate and Silicagel-Phenyl with 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid, all organic reagents have mass concentration five time larger than uranium concentration. As an optimal elution mixture acetone and ethanol (ratio of 1:1) in the presence of 1 mol•l-1 HCl was evaluated. Acetone and ethanol was evaporated and the final analysis was performed using ICP-MS. Silicagel-C18 was evaluate as the most effective in the presence of zephyramin and 1,2-dihydroxyanthraquinone-3-sulphonic acid. Sorption was also tested in the presence of 20 ?g•l-1 microelements (Be, V, Co, Ni, Y, Pb, Th, Cd) and in the presence of a defined concentrations of K, Na, Ca, Mg, Al and Fe. Direct analysis of uranium was carried out on samples of water from the river Ploucnice and Turonian aquifers containing uranium, 3,5 and 19,3 ?g•l-1. Different type of water required preconcentration of uranium (VI) on Silica-C18 in the presence of 1,2-dihydroxyanthraquinone-3-sulphonic acid and zephyramin. The analysis results gave statistically satisfactory results, which were confirmed using standard addition of 20 ?g•l-1.
