Quality of agricultural products from vending machines for agricultural products and evaluation of their use
SUDA, Matěj
The bachelor thesis addresses the issue of selling agricultural products through vending machines. It deals with the characteristics of individual products, legisla-tive regulations and standards governing their sale, as well as the companies operat-ing vending machines. Publicly available sources, personal survey conducted in selected businesses and questionnaire distributed tough the social media platforms were used to obtain this information. The main finding of this research is that for large businesses the income from vending machines is not the main source of in-come, but small businesses have higher income from the vending machines. How-ever, the public has insufficient awareness of the machines.

Foodborne Staphylococcus Aureus: Identification and Enterotoxin Production in Milk and Cheese.
Hrušková, Vendula ; Španová, Alena (referee) ; Kmet,, Vladimír (referee) ; Kaclíková, Eva (advisor)
Onemocnění z potravin (alimentární onemocnění) vyvolaná bakteriemi jsou stále aktuálním tématem v celosvětovém měřítku. Abychom zajistili výrobu zdravotně nezávadných potravin, je potřeba nových poznatků o virulenci patogenů, které by doplnily již známé skutečnosti o jejich růstu a přeživání v potravinách. Také potřebujeme vyvíjet rychlé a citlivé metody na detekci těchto patogenů. Dizertační práce popisuje metodu na detekci S. aureus v potravinách, která je založená na PCR v reálném čase ve spojení s namnožením v selektivním médium. Dále pojednává o vlivu environmentálních faktorů na růst S. aureus a tvorbu enterotoxinů v mléce a sýrech. Vyvinuli jsme rychlou a citlivou metodu na detekci S. aureus v potravinách s použitím selektivního namnožení a PCR v reálném čase. Nově vyvinutá metoda umožnila detekci S. aureus na druhý den od přijetí vzorku. Tato metoda může být použita jako rychlejší, citlivějsí a vysoce specifická alternativní metoda ke konvenční mikrobiologické metodě. Zkoumali jsme vliv tří různých teplot, 8°C, 12°C a 20°C na růst S. aureus a tvorbu enterotoxinu D v pasterizovaném mléce a na růst, expresi genu sed a tvorbu enterotoxinu D v tekutém médiu s extraktem z mozku a srdce (BHI). Experimenty byly prováděny v malých skleněných fermentorech po 6 dní. Genová exprese byla sledována pomocí qRT-PCR a tvorba enterotoxinu D byla měřena pomocí imunologické metody ELISA. Růstová křivka v BHI měla stejný průběh při 20°C a 12°C, ale v při 12°C začal růst se spožděním. Při 8°C nebyl pozorován žádný růst. Růst S. aureus v mléce byl ve srovnání s BHI menší. sed mRNA byla detekována při 20°C po 4 hodinách a při 12°C po 7 hodinách a produkce enterotoxinu se objevila v exponenciální fázi růstu. V mléce se produkce SED při 20°C a při 12°C objevila dříve, ale celkové množství vyprodukovaného SED bylo nižší než v BHI. Při 8°C nebyla pozorována žádná produkce SED stejně jako v BHI. Dále byl zkoumán společný vliv nízké teploty 12°C a přítomnosti kompetitivní doprovodné mikroflóry pocházející ze surového mléka na růst S. aureus a produkci enterotoxinu v pasterizovaném mléce. Byl pozorován inhibiční účinek na růst a produkci enterotoxinů a vliv kompetice byl výraznější než vliv nízké teploty. Produkce enterotoxinu byla nízká a odpovídala růstu. Snížením množství doprovodné mikroflóry a zvýšením inokula došlo pouze k nepatrnému zvýšení produkce enterotoxinu. V další fázi byly dva různé typy sýrů zaočkovány S. aureus za účelem simulace sekundární kontaminace při výrobě sýrů. Vzorky byly odebírány v průběhu 4 týdnů. Kritické faktory jako jsou kompetitivní mikrofóra nebo pH, které jsou zodpovědné za regulaci virulence S. aureus byly sledovány. Snažili jsem se rozlišit situace při kterých: (i) není pozorován růst, ale objevuje se produkce enterotoxinu a (ii) dochází k růstu ale bez produkce enterotoxinu.

Monitoring of Phytoestrogens Expression to the Milk and Milk Products
Watzková, Jarmila ; Rittich, Bohuslav (referee) ; Doležal, Petr (referee) ; Omelková, Jiřina (advisor)
Phytoestrogens are very intensively studied in recent years because they show different pharmacological effects on human health. For example, it was demonstrated that phytoestrogens reduce the risk of certain cancers (breast, prostate or colon), act as antioxidants in the body and affect the activity of certain enzymes. In addition, also it was demonstrated number of positive effects of soybean phytoestrogens on the health status of women in the menopause, such as reducing the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease or osteoporosis. Various technologically processed soy beans are important part of the feed rations mainly for high-lactating dairy cows, because they are a valuable source of the energy and high-quality protein, despite their negative effect on reproductive performance. Phytoestrogens consumed from the feed rations are hydrolyzed in the rumen of dairy cow and together with their metabolites are absorbed in the small intestine into the blood. They can be excreted from the body in urine or milk. From this perspective, cow's milk may become a source of phytoestrogens substances, especially equol in the human nutrition. On the other hand, some research results suggest possible potential risks associated with phytoestrogens intake in the diet on human health. At the some age (infants and young children) and group (vegetarians) categories may be dietary intake of phytoestrogens undiserable. According to most experts, a beneficial effect on human health prevail the potential risks. However, the risks associated with phytoestrogens intake in food can not be ignored and therefore phytoestrogens are still actual problem in the field of scientific research.

This diploma thesis deals with the comparison of aroma compounds in goat and cow milk. The content of aroma active substances in samples of goat and cow milk, which were analyzed by HS-SPME-GC-MS method, is monitored. In the theoretical part, milk is characterized, its formation in the dairy mammary gland is described, its composition including an overview of aromatic active substances, physical and chemical as well as its sensory properties, milk defects and differences between cow's and goat's milk are described. Further, gas chromatography in combination with solid phase microextraction technique in tandem with mass spectrometry is described. In the experimental part, 13 samples of goat and 8 samples of cow milk were subjected to HS-SPME-GC-MS analysis. Samples were analyzed fresh and after heat treatment. Altogether, 78 volatile substances were identified in the samples. Ketones were the most numerous, aldehydes, alcohols and carboxylic acids were the most abundant chemical groups. There were differences between samples in number as well as in content of the identified compounds, 64 in goat milk and 48 in the cow milk.

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
