Cosmetics preparations against acne
Měšťánková, Zuzana ; Skoumalová, Petra (referee) ; Němcová, Andrea (advisor)
Hemp is a plant containing a number of active substances that can be used in cosmetics and pharmacy. The subject of this bachelor thesis is the multiplication of active substances by mixing cannabis with herbs that have anti-inflammatory effects. The theoretical part contains a description of the determined antioxidants and cannabinoids. The experimental part focuses on measuring the content of these substances in extracts created from the dry parts of herbs and hemp variety Ferimon. The work is also focused on the preparation of a cream containing cannabis and herbal extracts, which are aimed at inhibiting the formation of acne. The antimicrobial effect of creams and extracts was investigated on bacteria Propionibacterium acnes and Micrococcus luteus. The analysis of the extracts shows that the largest amount of active substances contained a mixture of mountain arnica and hemp, which also showed a good antimicrobial effect against both types of bacteria. The creams showed a low inhibitory effect due to the low content of active substances.

Use of some fractions of technical hemp in cosmetics and pharmacy
Pavlištíková, Nela ; Uhlířová, Renata (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
Hemp is known as a versatile usable plant with many industrial applications including pharmaceutical industry. The subject of this bachelor's thesis was to characterize the fractions of cannabis produced during its processing and their applications in cosmetics and pharmacy. In the theoretical part the characteristics of the plant, its chemical composition and bioactive substances are worked out. In the experimental part, some metabolites present in hydrolysates of hemp flour and hemp sludge were determined. All fractions were obtained from the Santhica variety. In the samples the content of carbohydrates, lipids, polyphenols, chlorophylls, fatty acid profile, acidity number and iodine number were determined. Furthermore, antimicrobial activity of hemp hydrolysates was tested and fat numbers of the sludge samples were determined. Hemp soaps from hemp sludge and coconut oil were prepared and analysed by sensory tests too. Hemp flour hydrolysate was used in shampoo, which was tested on humans. It was demonstrated that all the materials used were safe and suitable for use. The prepared soaps showed a hydration effect when washing hands. Hemp shampoo application led to smooth and soft hair when washed.

Use of hemp and its products in cosmetics and pharmacy
Žáčková, Kristýna ; Skoumalová, Petra (referee) ; Němcová, Andrea (advisor)
Hemp is a versatile usable plant which can be found in almost all branches of industry, but also in medicine. The subject of this thesis is the determination of selected active compounds of technical hemp and its products and their possible applications in cosmetics and pharmacy. In the theoretical part is worked out the summary of active compounds including their effects in cosmetics and within medical use. In the experimental part were determined certain metabolites of hemp products, while as samples were used hemp flower, leaf, seed, flour, protein and two different hemp oils. There were also prepared creams with the addition of hemp oil in which the effects on the skin were assessed. In the analyzed samples was according to the character of the material determined the content of antioxidants, saccharides, proteins, lipids including the profile of fatty acids, vitamins and chlorophylls. It was proved that hemp flower is a better antioxidant than the leaf and contains higher amounts of all of the determined active compounds with this effect. Flour and protein which are made from the seeds have different percentages of individual studied compounds, because there is a different process for their production. The highest amount of saccharides is in the flour, hemp protein preparative consists of a 50 % of protein and in the seed was the highest lipid content. In the prepared hemp creams the moisturizing effects and the ability to prevent transepidermal water loss were observed.

Encapsulation of active and complementary components of energy drinks
Kšenžighová, Petra ; Vysoká, Marie (referee) ; Skoumalová, Petra (advisor)
This bachelor thesis was focused on the development of an energy drink containing plant powders and active substances in both free and encapsulated form. Green barley, matcha tea, moringa and young wheat were chosen as plant powder samples. The theoretical part describes the active and complementary constituents of energy drinks, their nutritional properties and impact on health. The encapsulation itself is also described in this section. In the practical part, extracts from plant powders were prepared, in which bioactive substances were determined, namely total phenolic content, flavonoids and antioxidants. The total content of carotenoids and chlorophylls was also determined in the samples. By juicing the fruit, fruit juices were obtained in which vitamin C and antioxidant content were subsequently determined. Liposome particles differing in soy and sunflower lecithin were prepared containing caffeine, taurine and vitamin C. Encapsulation activity, colloidal stability, size and long-term stability were determined in the particles. All prepared particles, with the exception of encapsulated taurine in sunflower particles, were stable. Finally, a sensory analysis was performed, where respondents evaluated the prepared energy drinks in terms of taste, consistency, smell and appearance. Based on the results of measurements, a new energy drink was designed.
