Study of production properties of Metschnikowia yeasts
Chadimová, Markéta ; Szotkowski, Martin (referee) ; Němcová, Andrea (advisor)
Metschnikowia yeasts are able to produce under different conditions different amounts of lipids, which have remarkable uses in biotechnology and industry. This bachelor thesis is focused on the study of cultivation conditions under which yeasts produce the most lipids and also deals with which fatty acids these triacylglycerols are composed of. The influence of cultivation conditions on the amount of biomass is also monitored. Five yeast strains were examined, namely M. pulcherrima 145, M. pulcherrima 147, M. pulcherrima 149, M. andauensis 129 and M. chrysoperlae 1158. Cultivation media with different C/N ratios, containing glucose or cheap waste substrates (glycerol, coffee and waste fat) were used for cultivation. The cultivations were performed at several temperatures and then the amount of grown biomass was determined, and the composition and ratio of fatty acids were determined by gas chromatography. As yeast that produced the most biomass per time was determined the yeast M. chrysoperlae 1158, which after 336 hours of growth at 15 °C was able to produce 10,66 g/l of biomass on a medium with a ratio of C/N = 100. The highest amount of lipids was obtained with yeast M. andauensis 129 at 8 °C on medium with a ratio of C/N = 100 (21,57 % lipids in dry matter). If biomass production is also taken into account, the best results are obtained by the yeast M. chrysoperlae 1158 at a temperature of 11 ° C on a medium with a ratio of C/N = 100 with a biomass production of 10,15 g/l and 19,58 % lipids in dry matter. This yeast was therefore further cultivated on waste substrates.

Monitoring the nutritional profile of edible fats and oils after culinary treatments
Chadimová, Markéta ; Vítová, Eva (referee) ; Němcová, Andrea (advisor)
This diploma thesis studies changes in the nutritional composition (especially fat changes) of selected fats and oils after various culinary treatments and during their storage under unsuitable conditions. Fats and oils are classified as so-called triacylglycerols, ie they are composed of glycerol and three fatty acids. It is the fatty acids bound to glycerol that determine the properties of fat and its stability. Eight types of fats and oils (sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, olive oil, coconut oil, linseed oil, butter, ghee and lard) were used for the analysis. The flaxseed oil sample was stored for 3 months in unfavorable storage conditions, ie in the light and in the heat. Other fats and oils were used for frying, baking, stewing, grilling and frying meat and onions. The aim of the work was to compare changes of fatty acids, changes of fat numbers and compare the amount of vitamin E contained in individual oils before and after culinary treatments. The results of the analysis showed that fat samples did not show significant changes in fat numbers, fatty acids or vitamin E after culinary treatments or improper storage. From this I conclude that fats and oils have been exposed to high temperatures and unsuitable conditions for a short time. The largest difference in the composition of fatty acids was measured for sunflower oil, where a higher amount of trans fatty acids was measured after treatment and overall a lower proportion of PUFA was measured than before treatment. As sunflower oil has a high content of polyunsaturated MK and a low smoke point, this result was expected. The highest concentration of vitamin E was found in rapeseed oil.
