Sensory evaluation of cheeses
Pecinová, Ester ; Vránová, Dana (referee) ; Vítová, Eva (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the sensory evaluation of cheeses. The thesis focuses on Edam cheese and the selection of methods for its sensory analysis. In the theoretical part natural cheeses are characterised, their chemical composition, physical and chemical properties as well as their sensory properties are described, further they are classified from several points of view and also individual steps of manufacturing process of Edam cheese are described. After that the literature search was made focused on sensory evaluation, within the methods were chosen for the experimental part, specifically measuring of overall preference and liking/disliking, appearance, colour, texture, aroma and flavour ratings using the hedonic scale and rating of chosen flavour descriptors by the profile method. In the experimental part the selected sensory methods were applied on 3 samples of Edam cheese, manufactured in 3 different modes of heat treatment of milk. Two sensory panels were involved in the evaluation: consumers and experts. Cheese from the first production (65 °C 30 min) was evaluated as the most acceptable; on the contrary cheese from the second production (80 °C 30 s) was evaluated as the least acceptable.

Aroma active compounds of selected types of medical herbs
Pecinová, Ester ; Diviš, Pavel (referee) ; Vítová, Eva (advisor)
This thesis deals with aroma active compounds of selected types of medicinal herbs, specifically lavender (Lavandula officinalis), peppermint (Mentha piperita), sage (Salvia officinalis), St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) and hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis). In the theoretical part the single herbs were characterized including botanical description, chemical composition, medicinal properties, adverse effects and the practical use; aroma active compounds present in herbs are also emphasized. Based on the literature search, gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry as currently the most frequently used method, was chosen for the assessment of aroma compounds. Solid Phase Microextraction was used for isolation of volatile compounds from dried herbs. Within experimental part of the work selected parameters of the SPME-GC-MS method were optimized, aroma compounds in samples of herbs were identified, and twenty four suspected fragrance allergens due to the Regulation (EC) N° 1223/2009 were also identified and quantified. Overall 69 compounds were indetified together with 2 allergens in lavender, 59 compounds including 5 allergens in peppermint, sage contained 49 compounds with 4 allergens included, 41 compounds were identified in St. John’s wort including 4 allergens and finally 64 compounds with 4 allergens included in hyssop.
