Antimicrobial peptides and their application into foods
Janhuba, Filip ; Petrik, Siniša (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
The presented thesis is focused on a study of antimicrobial peptides and their potential applications into foods. Two types of antimicrobial peptides were studied in detail - bacteriocin nisin and antimicrobial enzyme lysozyme. In theoretical part an overview of antimicrobial peptides used in food industry was introduced. The experimental part of this work was focused on optimization of methods for the determination of antimicrobial peptides concentration. Commonly used spectrophotometric methods for quantitative analysis of total proteins as well as high performance liquid chromatography were tested. To determine the molecular weight and purity a modified SDS-PAGE with the addition of urea and tricine buffer was performed. Further, encapsulation of nisin into liposome was tested. Encapsulated particles were prepared by three different procedures: by ultrasonication, ethanol injection and TLE. Particles stability, distribution and size were studied by dynamic light scattering. Stability of encapsulated peptides in model conditions and model foods was studied too. Finally, antibacterial properties of the selected peptides using test system Bacillus subtilis were studied. Nisin already showed antimicrobial effect at low concentrations - about 1 µg/ml. The inhibitory effect of nisin was more evident in liquid cultures.
