Health effects of Czech beer
Bokrová, Jitka ; Skoumalová, Petra (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to study physiological effect of various kinds of lager beer and to compare these effects in Czech beer and several beers produced in foreign countries. In theoretical part Czech beer characteristics and biologically active compounds in beer are described. Quantification of total phenolics, total flavonoids, antioxidant activity and bitter substances was performed photometrically. The quantity of vitamin C was determined by high performance liquid chromatography with spectrophotometrical detection. Beer buffering capacity was analyzed by pH measurement in artificial stomach and intestinal liquid, respectively. Analysis of physiological effect was accomplished by analysis of proteolytic enzyme activity. The total of 22 samples (16 Czech and 6 foreign lager beers) was studied. In these samples levels of basic technological characteristics and buffering capacity were compared. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beers were compared too. According to experimental data it was confirmed that consumption of Czech beer (mainly lager beer) positively influences digestion process and activity of digestive proteolytic enzymes.
