Lener, Tomáš ; Nesměrák, Karel (advisor) ; Kubíčková, Anna (referee)
A historical pharmaceutical preparation - chicory extract - from the 18th century whose authenticity was investigated was qualitatively analyzed using HPLC with UV/VIS and MS2 detection. A current dry chicory root was used as a source of selected chicory chemotaxonomic markers and an indicator of the success of extraction with different solvents. The authenticity of the historical extract was proved by a water solubility test. A VIS spectrometric determination of inulin was used and the inuline content was determined to be 52.4% in the current dry chicory root and 7.45% in the historical extract. The detection wavelength 254 and 320 nm was selected from measured UV/VIS spectra of selected standards and the literature. The authenticity of the historical chicory extract was proven by tandem mass spectrometry, and, moreover, arteincultone - a new chicory chemotaxonomic marker - was identified. Key words: HPLC-MS, HPLC-UV/VIS, UV/VIS Spectrometry, Chicory, Historical extract, Chicory root, Arteincultone

The aim of the thesis is to introduce and evaluate regional branding occurring in the Czech republic, other countries of the European Union and the EU as a whole. On the basis of the information, the strategies of individual brand programs in the Czech Republic are evaluated and possibilities for improvement are presented. The basic methods of qualitative research used in the practical part of the thesis are the analysis of secondary data and field research. Using identified facts, own regional product is designed to meet the required criteria of the selected territory. In the form of a case study that is created as a manual, its communication activities are designed and the most appropriate branding program, including an explanation of the certification process, has been chosen.
