Analysis of drinks sweetened with stevia extracts
Procházka, Václav ; Hrstka, Miroslav (referee) ; Vespalcová, Milena (advisor)
The steviolglycosides are the natural, sweet substances from Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni. It affect human health positively and its sweetness is 300x stronger than the sweetness of sucrose. That's why it's used to sweetening the commercial products. Because of its potential properties it's good to have an appropriate method to isolate it. High performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC) is based on the separation of analyte between two immiscible phases with high pressure pump and appropriately chosen stationary phase in the column. Than the analytes come out from the column in different retention times. This master´s thesis follows up selection of the best HPLC system for isolation of the main steviolglycosides and its analysis in commercial products. In the theoretical part of the thesis is described the origin, basic characteristics, botanical description, cultivation and affect to the human health of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni and its use in food industry. There are also concisely characterized the sweet substances contained in the plant, so called steviolglycosides. Than there are given the theoretical basics of high performance liquid chromatography, HPLC instrumentation and its specific applications at sleviolglycosides with the basic chromatographic parameters. The object of the first experimental part was to research the optimum conditions for time and separation effective chromatographic analysis and select the best chromatographic system for isolation of steviolglycosides. In the second experimental part, I have compared and defined the main steviolglycosides (stevioside, rebaudioside A) in nine selected products, commercially available in Czech republic, with the best chromatographic method. In these products was the contain of the stevioside or rebaudioside A confirmed or refused.

Dalecká, Karolína ; Drastík, Martin (advisor) ; Kubíček, Vladimír (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Biophysics and Physical Chemistry Candidate: Karolína Dalecká Supervisor: Ing. Martin Drastík, Ph.D. Title: SPE in steviol glycosides analysis In the first part of this diploma thesis, the solid phase extraction method is described. The topics like the workflow, usability of sorbents and their formats and interactions with analytes are covered. The second part of this thesis is focused on utilization of solid phase extraction on samples containing steviol glycosides. An overview of solid phase sorbents their forms; solvents used for extraction and elution of steviol glycosides is provided in the discussion section at the very end of this work. Taking into account the fact that stevia has been used more and more on the European market in recent years, and is found in more food and other products, the frequency of determination of steviol glycosides and the use of solid phase extraction is on rise. The most commonly extracted samples include food products with steviol glycosides used as sweeteners or extracts of dried stevia leaves. The main sorbents used for solid phase extraction include silica gel with octadecyl and divinylbenzene-co-vinylpyrrolidine copolymer. This type of extraction is most often connected with high...

Agrotechnická opatření při pěstování a sklizni Stévie sladké (Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni) v polních podmínkách
HAUSEROVÁ, Tereza
Stevia or Stevia rebaudina Bertoni is a plant with very intresting but up to this date not very utilised potential. It a subtropical plant with a sweeting power us much as 300 times higher than in case of sucrose. It is often used as a compensation for sugar- sweetener, suitable for diabetics and people who suffer from overweight. There is processed the characteristics of the plant, botanical description, conditions of cultivation and chemical composition. The practical part elaborates on growing stevia, her germination, reproduction, growing in field conditions and hibernation. The purpose of the thesis was to expand the knowledge regarding cultivation, reproduction methods and wintering options of the stevia plants. A field and a greenhouse experiments were staged with a focus on temperature indicators during the growing season and their impact on the total number of wintered plants. The dry matter yield of the plants was rated per an area unit and statistical processing with experiment results.

Porovnání senzorických vlastností džemů slazených steviol-glykosidy a dalšími sladidly
KÜFFNEROVÁ, Nela
The aim of the diploma thesis was evaluation of sensoric attributes of blueberry and current jams sweetened by selected Steviol glycosides and their comparing with other sweeteners. For evaluation of sensoric attributes were used rebaudioside A, stevioside, aspartame, erythritol and sugar beet. Stevia rebaudiana var. Bertoni is a persistent plant, which contains sweetening Steviol glycosides, which have a use in food processing. They are available in the area of EU indicated as E960 since 2011. The most used Steviol glycosides are stevioside and rebaudioside A, which are demarcated with a high sweetness, which could be 200-400 times higher than saccharose. The usage of sweeteners is legislatively allowed, which means it is also allowed to do sensoric analyse and detect perception of added substances in food. These analyses evaluate food with the help of sense - perception. Methodical part of the work contains procedure, used methods for gaining evaluation of data from a sensoric analyse after the degustation of jams, which has taken place with the presence of ten judges - an academic students in the working compartment of University of South Bohemia. Respondents entered their evaluation into protocols, which were prepared in advance. The results of diploma thesis are evaluated by the method of Kramer, which is used for this kind of analyse. The critical scale between 20 and 40 with the value of probability P = 95% was defined according to this method. Evaluation is described with the help of graphs and tables, added with a wordily describtion. Conclusion of analyse of diploma thesis is, that the usage of Steviol glycosides is not most suitable way of sweetening jams. Acceptable valuations of jams containing Steviol glycosides were proven in parameters of colour and aroma. The reasons for less successful evaluation of Steviol glycosides could be due to bad pH of food or badly chosen dosing, without combination of other kinds of sweeteners. The best sensory characteristics traditionally showed sugar beet and aspartame followed by rebaudioside A and stevioside, which were placed on the third and forth place from five used sweeteners. The part of the diploma thesis was an evaluation of questionnaire, where the result was, that asked people preferred fruit ingredient of jams (type of fruit, amount) not their way of sweetening while choosing a jam.

Stevioside and rebaudioside use in the food industry in the Czech Republic and the European Union
PRAYER, Radek
The main objective of this work was a search process can use steviolglycosides in foodstuffs within the Czech Republic and the European Union in the period since 2000, focusing on legislation and non-food use. Based on journal articles and available legislative provisions, it is clear that Stevia is a plant with great potential to replace at least part of the current sweeteners. Stevia can also be used in cosmetics or in medicine because it contains substances that are beneficial to health. Legislation currently in force in the European Union and the Czech Republic permitted in food use steviolglycosides in high purity. Using Stevia plants or parts thereof, as food is not allowed.
