Determination of basic chemical characteristics of blackberry pulp
Pilátová, Anna ; Diviš, Pavel (referee) ; Vespalcová, Milena (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with determination of selected chemical characteristics of juice, pulp and extract prepared from blackberry of two species, from The Czech Republic and Ukraine. The theoretical part contains the botanical characteristics of blackberry, the content of active substances and possibilities of use of blackberries in the food industry. The following chapters focus on the description of phenolic substances and the determination of pH and titration acidity of fruit juices by manual methods. In the experimental part, two extraction solvents were first compared for extraction of anthocyanins from blackberry moldings. Furthermore, the selected chemical and physical properties of extracts, juice and pulp from blackberries were determined. The analysis was carried out for blackberries from the Czech Republic and Ukraine. A 1 : 1 mixture of distilled water and ethanol was a better extraction solvent for the content of anthocyanins. After 14 hours of maceration 150.4 mg of anthocyanins was obtained from 100,0 g of blackberry moldings Extract from blackberry moldings has been determined to have a much higher concentration of anthocyanins than juice and pulp. The extract of Ukrainian blackberries contained 197.4 mg CGEdm-3 and extract of Czech blackberries 150.4 mg CGEdm-3. Also phenolic substances had the highest concentration in extracts. Ukrainian blackberries contained 3501.9 mg GAEdm-3 and Czech blackberries contained 3256.1 mg GAEdm-3.

Basic chemical characteristics of juices of selected white gooseberry varieties
Zelníčková, Jaroslava ; Diviš, Pavel (referee) ; Vespalcová, Milena (advisor)
Theoretical part of this bachelor thesis includes taxonomical classification of gooseberry, deals with biological characteristics, active substances contained in fruits of gooseberry and its using as well with description of the methods by research detection. In the experimental part primary nutritional parameters of chosen gooseberry species were analysed including orientation juice yield, soluble solids, pH, dry matter, titratable acids, formol number and reducing sugars. There were analysed following species of gooseberry: Reflamba, Mucurines, Rixanta, Veliš, Citronový obří, Darek, Prima, Invicta, Zlatý fík a Zebín. Individual species and cultivars were compared based on the results.

Application of spectral and non-spectral analytical methods for monitoring the quality of ketchups
Havlíčková, Barbora ; Vítová, Eva (referee) ; Diviš, Pavel (advisor)
The aim of the master´s thesis was to verify the applicability of elemental analysis and molecular spectrometry for examining the authenticity of ketchup. For verify of share refractometric dry matter introduced into ketchup from tomatoes was used analysis of potassium and lycopene content. Ketchups with different tomato contents were prepared and subsequently models were created, which were used to verify the proportion of refractometric dry matter introduced into tomato ketchup in ketchups from the store. The results of the work showed that the amount of lycopene is a problematic marker for verifying the authenticity of ketchup, because during the production of ketchup, lycopene is degraded.In contrast, the amount of potassium in ketchup has been shown to be a good marker for monitoring the authenticity of ketchup. The model based on the potassium content of ketchup worked reliably, the deviations obtained from the quantity of tomatoes used for the production of ketchup indicated on the packaging were less than 10%. Higher deviations were achieved in ketchups with a minimum permitted tomato content of up to 20%. The concentration of potassium in ketchup with a lower content of used tomatoes can be significantly affected by the addition of other ingredients to the ketchup (onion, garlic, carrot, apple, etc.). In addition to the ketchup production technology used, the ripeness of tomatoes also has a significant effect on the model for verifying the authenticity of ketchup.

Hodnocení růstových a sklizňových údajů kamčatských borůvek (Lonicera caeruela L.)
Prnová, Štěpánka
The objective of this thesis is the evaluation of growth and harvest data of sweetberry honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea L.), furthermore evaluation and comparison of phenological characteristics of different varieties. The phenological phases of the shrubs were evaluated: sprouting, flowering, ripening, harvesting and leaf fall. In terms of growth is evaluated height and cubic volume of shrubs and effective yield. For harvesting parameters was monitored height, width and weight of the fruits, the content of refractive solids, vitamin C and a total solids content in the fruits. Every measurement and evaluation is supplemented by tables and graphs with the results evaluated by program STATISTICA 12. Flowering was evaluated according to photographic evidence taken over several weeks in the main growing season. At the end, the most suitale varieties were recommended according to the findings in the terms of size and weight of fruits, vitamin C and a refractive solids and also taking into account the volume of shrubs and effective yield of a given variety.

Fyzikálně chemické změny hroznů révy vinné během zrání
Majorová, Anežka
This diploma thesis deals with the physical changes of grapevines during their ripening. Three grapevine cultivars were tested - Hibernal, Malverina and Perun. Grapes were harvested at three different times and the basic criteria for defining the level of ripeness were observed namely, in particular, the weight of bunch of grapes, the weight of ten vine berries, grape berry firmness, the percentage of dry matter and the percentage of titratable acids, and the ripeness index. The changes of all criteria in time as well as the difference between particular cultivars were observed. Furthermore, the correlation between criteria was assessed. The grape berries were also assessed from the visual point of view before harvesting. Regarding all the data which was collected, the decrease of titratable acids for each grapevine cultivar was proven during the monitored period. For Hibernal, a linear decrease of 26mg/100g per day was observed. Linear decrease was also observed for grape berry firmness of 18 kPa in case of Hibernal, and 24 kPa in case of Malverina. Increase of the percentage of dry matter was observed for all three cultivars. In addition, a correlation between the weight of a grape berry and any other measured criteria was not found. The ripeness index shows a different beginning of ripening of different cultivars.

Determination of content substances for selected species and varieties of roses.
Slavíková, Eva ; Sus, Josef (advisor) ; Súkeníková, Tereza (referee)
This bachelor's work is focused on comparing the most significant content substance, vitamin C, in fruits of chosen rose kinds species and varieties. Herbal products are often seen by people as products of "second choice", when failure of allopathic treatment occurs, which is focused especially on suppressing symptoms of illness, but it ignores health of the human body as whole. That's why are herbal products often alternative for therapy of chronic diseases. The base of this work is extensive literary research and results of laboratory measurings. Literary part of this work includes description of botanical classification of rose plants. There is stated basic characteristic of individual rose species and their morphological features. In following chapters is composed overview of effective substances in rose fruits and their effect on human health. In practical part of this work are included results of laboratory tests for determining ascorbic acid content for chosen samples of rose species and it also includes results of weighing and measuring of fruit samples of chosen rose species. There are also stated chosen rose species and shortly their origin and description, in the beginning of practical part. For practical part were chosen samples of species. Results of practical part are compiled into statistic tables and graphs and it confirms high content of ascorbic acid in rose fruits. This content is in range of cca 300 - 900 mg.100 g-1. Due to growing interest in alternative treatment options and "clean" natural product, it can be assumed, that many plants of Rosaceae family will keep its place in treatment practice. Those plants will be used not only for treatment of acute and chronic diseases, but also for cosmetic products production, thanks to its large effects and process options.
