Possibilities of processing selected exotic fruits into jams and jellies
Pavlíková, Michaela ; Obračaj, Jan (referee) ; Mikulíková, Renata (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the preparation and statistical evaluation of jams and jellies prepared from selected types of exotic fruits, which are passion fruit and pomegranate. The theoretical part characterizes both types of exotic fruits used for the preparation of named products. Bioactive compounds and the production of jams and jellies were also described. One of the chapters also focuses on methods and requirements of sensory analysis. The experimental part focuses on the production of jams and jellies from passion fruit and pomegranate and on the preparation of these products with the addition of varieties of spices (vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, lime). These samples were subjected to sensory analysis, where the respondents had to evaluate the appearance and colour, smell, taste, and texture of the products using a scale in the received questionnaire. Based on the results of the sensory analysis, samples containing lime or vanilla were rated very positively, both in the case of passion fruit and pomegranate. For jams, the preferences differed. It turned out, that jams made of passion fruit were rated better than jams made of pomegranate. On the other hand, jellies made from pomegranate were preferred to passion fruit jellies.

Possibilities of processing the fruit of lesser-known fruit tree species
Vachta, Jonáš ; Hudečková, Helena (referee) ; Mikulíková, Renata (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the possibilities of using the fruits of common quince (Cydonia oblonga), common medlar (Mespillus germanica) and flowering quince (Chaenomeles speciosa) for food purposes, specifically for the production of jellies and jams. The goal was to create a product that would capture the character of the fruit used, preserve its beneficial properties, such as aromas and the content of bioactive substances, and at the same time be pleasant for consumers. A total of three types of products were prepared, namely gelatin jelly, agar jelly and jam for each type of fruit used. The product samples were subjected to sensory analyses, the aim of which was to determine the optimal addition of sugar to the product, to determine the overall consumer acceptability of the individual samples, and in the case of jelly, also to compare the sensory properties of the gelatin and agar variants. For chemical analyses, model samples were prepared, the composition corresponding to the best sensorially evaluated samples from each type of product. The total content of polyphenols, the total content of flavonoids, the content of vitamin C, the content of lipophilic pigments, ubiquinone and phytosterols and the profile of volatile compounds in individual samples were studied. The analysis results showed that the jams, as heat-processed products, generally retained a greater amount of bioactive substances compared to the jelly samples, and in certain cases even a greater amount than the fruit samples. The jelly samples, on the other hand, retained a greater amount of the original fruit aroma.

Use of citrus fruits in the food industry
Havlíková, Michaela ; Hudečková, Helena (referee) ; Mikulíková, Renata (advisor)
The main objective of the thesis was to prepare marmalades, jellies, and dried slices of citrus fruits. Three types of citrus fruits: orange, grapefruit, and pomelo, were chosen for this thesis. The nutritional characteristics of the prepared products were determined including volatile matter content, dry matter content, pigment content, lipophilic content, and vitamin C content. The aforementioned products were also subjected to sensory analysis to assess their taste, aroma, texture, colour, and overall acceptability. The theoretical part describes the legislation dealing with citrus processing, marmalades, dried fruit and jelly confectionery. Further, the characteristics of the aforementioned food products and the characteristics of citrus fruits are also given. The theoretical part also deals with the theory of the methods used, i.e. sensory analysis, gas chromatography with mass spectrometry, and high-performance liquid chromatography. The experimental part describes the preparation of samples and the performance of individual determinations. In the sensory analysis, marmalades, jellies, and dried sheets were evaluated separately. The evaluators assessed their acceptability depending on the citrus used. The volatile substances were also determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The moisture and dry matter of the products were determined by drying and the pigments and lipophilic substances contained in the products were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography.

Possibilities of using rose hips in the food industry
Maráčková, Adéla ; Kovalčík, Adriána (referee) ; Mikulíková, Renata (advisor)
This thesis focuses on the possibilities of using rose hips in the food industry. The aim of this thesis was to design and create sensory acceptable food products which are made from rose hips. A recipe was created for rosehip jams, chutneys and jellies. During the development of the recipe, individual flavors of rosehip products were evaluated. Freshly ground spices combined with fruits and vegetables were used to flavor the products. According to the optimized recipe for chutney, 1 standard and 3 types with spices were produced: chili, allspice and ginger. A recipe for jams was also prepared - 1 standard and 3 types: cardamom, cinnamon and rosehip jam in combination with apple jam in a ratio of 1:1. Finally, a jelly recipe was created - 1 standard and 3 types with spices: cinnamon, allspice and anise. Individual rosehip products were subjected to sensory analysis and their organoleptic properties were evaluated. The sensory analysis was divided into three parts – for jellies, jams and chutneys. The best rated was a sample of rosehip jelly without the addition of spices. Among the jams, the best rated sample was the jam with the addition of cardamom, which was popular with the respondents because of its pleasant and non-traditional taste. For rosehip chutney, the sample without the addition of spices was the best rated. The mass spectrometry method was used to determine the presence of ionones in the samples, the presence of which is typical for rose hips. The presence and concentration of vitamin C, lipophilic substances and total pigments were determined in the respective rosehip products using the high-performance liquid chromatography method. It was verified by the method of high-performance liquid chromatography that a considerable amount of vitamins was preserved even after the preparation of the resulting products, which were heated. The results of the work pointed to the potential of rosehips, which can be used in the food industry.

Využití některých méňě pěstovaných ovocných druhů pro zpracování
Střihavková, Dana
The bachelor essay on "The use of less cultivated fruit species for processing" topic focuses on the processing three non?-traditional fruit species such as hawthorn, medlar and quince. A total of 11 products, produced from these fruit species, were evaluated by anonymous sensory evaluation by 15 respondents. The gustation was based on criteria such as taste, smell, appearance, consistency and overall impression. The best products were the hawthorn products, then the quince, and at least the medlar products. Less usual fruit species can undoubtedly be an interesting diversification of our diet, and due to the significant part of nutritionally valuable substances, they can enrich the assortment of products from commonly grown fruit species.
