Andrlová, Kateřina ; Vítová, Eva (referee) ; Babák, Libor (advisor)
Diploma thesis deals with use of Zymomonas mobilis for the production of bioethanol from waste paper. There were used three kinds of substrate (cardboard, drawing and office paper) to optimize of bioethanol production. Individual papers were subjected to the same pre treatment, namely a milling, a combination of microwave irradiation and NaOH, a combination of microwave irradiation and H2SO4 and combination microwave irradiation, H2SO4 and NaOH. The substrates were decomposed by enzymatic hydrolysis after pre treatment to evaluate the best pre-treatment. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation was carried out for each substrate (with two of the best pre-treatment). The samples were taken during the hydrolysis and the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation, and were determined by HPLC. Growth curves of Zymomonas mobilis were constructed, as the most appropriate for SSF was chosen temperature of 40 ° C in which the exponential phase took place at the time of 6 15 hours. During hydrolysis was monitored glucose concentration in the solution. The maximum concentration of glucose was in the cardboard (microwaves + H2SO4 + NaOH) 16.46 gdm-3, a drawing (microwaves + H2SO4 + NaOH) 31.78 gdm-3, and office paper (microwaves + H2SO4) 25.04 gdm-3. The concentration of ethanol for SSF was highest in the same cases as in the hydrolysis. The cardboard was the maximum concentration of bio ethanol 9.5 gdm-3, for the drawing 16.1 gdm-3 and for the office paper 12.13 gdm-3.

The employment of wastes from food production
Hurčíková, Andrea ; Babák, Libor (referee) ; Omelková, Jiřina (advisor)
The waste from agricultural and food industry are accessible in large quantity anywhere in the whole world nowadays. Most of these wastes include cellulose (30 - 40 %), hemicellulose (20 - 40 %) and lignine (10 - 20 %). Therefore these waste materials have wide use as the substrates for the microbial growth and the production of the enzymes. The microorganisms are able to use organic compounds from the wastes as the source of energy for the growth and carbon for synthesis of cellular biomass [24]. Wheat and rice straw are possible to use as the substrates for cultivation of the microorganisms and following production of the enzymes. In this thesis the utilization of the wastes from food industry for the production of the enzymes by the microorganisms was studied. We observed utilization of wheat straw as source of energy for growth of tested microorganisms and investigated their ability for the production of oxidoreductase (laccase). The optimalization of growth conditions of Aureobasidium pullulans was proceeded. Further the activity of laccase was studied. Milled wheat straw was used as the substrate. The cultivation was done in the thermoregulator at the temperature of 27°C. The activity of laccase was not found in this thesis. Petri dishes were contaminated by three unknown microoganisms during optimalization of growth of Aureobasidium pullulans. One of them produced laccase in cultivation with straw.

Cheese curd parameters influence to selected economic factors of production of cheese with white fungus
Pavlíčková, Žaneta ; Zemanová, Jana (referee) ; Babák, Libor (advisor)
The theme of this diploma thesis is the monitoring of influences on economic aspect of the production of the blue cheese "Hermelín" in the company Pribina. The objective was to specify the dependencies of the deviations of the features of productive cow's milk and of cheese curd made from it and their economics impacts. For this purpose, the analyses of curd grain, whey and cheeses just formed were executed. The samples were taken and analyzed during the manufacturing of cheeses in the factory. Another goal was to try to design a quick operational method for measuring the firmness of curd grain, which is a factor theoretically dependent on renneting qualities of milk and indicating losses of valuable components from cheese curd to whey. The firmness of grain along with these losses may cause negative deviations from required standard of final products, especially at parametres needed for entry of cheeses on sale, such as total solids, weight or content of fat. Concerning productive pasteurize milk, the most attention was focused on the milk coagulation time and its influence on successive phases of manufacturing and on final product. Milk coagulation time is an essential technological quality of milk and it is participant on quantitative and qualitative production of cheese factory. It has been proved that milk coagulation time is notably affected by its titrating acidity, statistic analyse found this influence as very statistically significant (P

Changes of fatty acids during production of model cheese
Janoušková, Kateřina ; Babák, Libor (referee) ; Vítová, Eva (advisor)
This thesis deals with the identification and quantification of free and bound fatty acids in model cheese samples of the Moravský bochník type, which were produced at Tomas Bata University in Zlín by a standard technological procedure. In a theoretical part of the thesis, the issues of lipids, fatty acids, as well as the characteristics of high cooked cheeses including Moravský bochník, microbial cultures used in their production, and the possibilities of fatty acids determination are summarized. The ČSN EN ISO 1735:2005 method was chosen for the lipid extraction from cheese samples. Present free and bound fatty acids were identified and quantified by gas chromatography with flame-ionization detection after conversion to methylesters by acid esterification with bortrifluoride as a catalyst. In total 32 fatty acids were identified in cheese samples, the highest amount of caproic, caprylic, capric, lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic and oleic acids.

Optimization of ethanol bioproduction from waste materials using SSF method
Filová, Dagmar ; Vránová, Dana (referee) ; Babák, Libor (advisor)
Presented diploma thesis is dealing with the problematics of fuel ethanol production. Relevant basic terminology is explained in the theoretical part, methods of lignocellulose pre-treatments and their conversion to bioethanol are introduced. Attetion is also given to microorganisms used for bioethanol production on industrial scale, as well as analytical instrumental techniques for glucose and ethanol detection. In experimental part, we are focusing on substrate composition analysis – contents of dry matter, cellulose and ash was investigated. Waste paper was chosen as substrate, as it does not find any other use beside recycling these days. Chosen production microorganism, that conversts sugars into etanol was the unknown strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Primal substrate pre-treatment – removal of rigid parts was performed in several physical and physical – chemical ways. Substrate with such pre-treatment was ready for enzymatic hydrolysis, during which monomers from polymer matrix were formed. Ethanol was produced using method of simultaneous saccharification and fermentation, when enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation take place at the same time and the same container.

Malina, Jiří ; Babák, Libor (referee) ; Vítová, Eva (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the questions of determination of aroma active compounds present in yoghurts. These compounds are crucial for flavour of these fermented dairy products. Four types of yoghurts were analyzed, creamy (10 % of fat), medium-fat and medium-fat Bio (3 % of fat) and light (0,1 % of fat), produced by Mlékárna Valašské Meziříčí, spol. s r.o. Analysis was carried out by gas chromatography with extraction of analytes by SPME - solid phase microextraction. Five groups of different aroma active compounds such as ketones, aldehydes, organic acids and their esters and alcohols in different amounts were determined. These compounds are mostly metabolic products of Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, dairy yoghurt cultures usually used for yoghurt production. Less amounts are present in cow's milk or in dairy additives. Yoghurts were simultaneously sensorially evaluated using ranking test and scale test for determination of acceptability and flavour. The assessors were students and staffs of faculty of chemistry BUT.
