Comparison of microbial metabolic production from waste and powder whey
Elefantová, Petra ; Vítová, Eva (referee) ; Babák, Libor (advisor)
The master’s thesis discusses the comparison of microbial metabolic production from waste and powder whey. Whey is obtained as a by-product of cheese production. Lactose (preferably whey) using lactic acid bacteria (eg. Lactobacillus) under suitable temperature conditions is converted to lactic acid. Effect of temperature, effect of salts and effect of yeast extract on lactic acid production by L. casei were investigated. HPLC metod was determined lactid acid. In the practical part were used bacteria of the genus Lactobacillus. It was found that for dried and waste whey is the optimal temperature of 35 °C. At this temperature is the greatest gain of lactic acid. The highest concentration of lactic acid was obtained by using 20 g of yeast extract for dried whey and for waste whey were used 24 g of yeast extract. When monitoring the effect of salt concentration on the production of lactic acid, it was found that using only MnSO4·H2O gain most of lactic acid.

Holub, Jiří ; Mikulíková, Renata (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
The master thesis addresses the issue of cultivation of selected strains of carotenogenic yeasts on waste materials of the food industry using a laboratory bioreactor. Carotenogenic yeasts are able to produce highly valuable metabolites during cultivation, which are located predominantly in the lipid part of the cells. Particularly, they are carotenoids, ergosterol, coenzyme Q and fatty acids. The thesis is divided into two main parts, the theoretical part and the practical part. The theoretical part describes individual yeast strains, types of waste materials, produced metabolites and methods of their analysis. The experimental part deals with the processing of waste materials of the food industry, specifically animal fat, whey and spent coffee grounds into the form of substrates usable as nutrition sources for yeast cultivation. Furthermore, cultivations focused on the recovery of the monitored metabolites and their analysis by using HPLC/PDA and GC/FID assemblies were studied as well. The yeast strains Rhodotorula mucilaginosa (CCY 19-4-6), Rhodotorula kratochvilae (CCY 20-2-26), Rhodosporidium toruloides (CCY 062-002-001), Sporidiobolus pararoseus (CCY 19-9-6) a Cystofilobasidium macerans (CCY 10-1-2) were used in this work. As one of the best producing strains Sporidiobolus pararoseus (CCY 19-9-6) was found, which achieved very high productions of carotenoids, coenzyme Q and ergosterol.

Weight control of soft cheese formed on a manual production line
Páral, Marek ; Zemanová, Jana (referee) ; Tomečková, Šárka (advisor)
The thesis deals with the control of the weight of soft cheeses during molding on a manual line. The theoretical part describes the classification of cheeses into groups, the basic characteristics of soft cheeses and their representatives. Furthemore, the whole technology of soft cheese production is processed and the effects on curd formation and factors influencing the weight of cheeses during molding are explained. The theoretical part ends with the basics of statistics for data processing. Basic measuring techniques (dry matter measurement, pH measurement, measurement of temperature and weight) were selected to determine the technological parameters (pH of whey, pH, dry matter and temperature of cheese grain, weight of cheese etc.) to describe the quality of grain in the experimental part of the thesis. The Design of Experiments method was used to find the optimal setting of the molding machine. Three partial experiments were designed and done. Results were verified in real production. The pH of whey was chosen to describe the grain quality. Two factors have been discovered that have a significant effect on the weigh of cheeses during molding, namely the position of the operator during molding and the amount of whey flowing into the forms with the cheese grain. The proposed molding modifications were successfully tested in production and no statistical difference was found between the weight of cheeses formed with the new setting of molding machine.

Selected bioengineering characteristics of lactic acid bacteria
Šťásková, Lucie ; Vítová, Eva (referee) ; Babák, Libor (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the growth of biomass and production of selected metabolit–lactic acid by thermophilic bacteria Bacillus coagulans. The resulting selected metabolite was determined by HPLC method. Cultivations of this genus were performed on synthetic media, where the influence of carbohydrate used as carbon source was tested. Lactose was more suitable fot growth of biomass and glucose for production of lactic acid. On natural whey media the influence of different conditions were tested. The highest yields of biomass and production of lactic acid were observed on enriched whey medium. The last part deals with comparing the production of biomass and metabolites, depending on the volume of media. There were compared selected bioengineering characteristics of all cultivations.

Use of antimicrobial products of animal origin in cosmetics
Puškárová, Radka ; Bokrová, Jitka (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
The Bachelor thesis deals with characterization a whey in free and encapsulated form and its application to cosmetic industry. The theoretical part is focused on characterization of whey, especially on its antimicrobial properties, and use of this effect in selected cosmetics preparatives. Further, methods of encapsulation and particles characterization were described. In the experimental part, antimicrobial properties of whey were tested by two different methods. Whey was encapsulated into three different types of particles: liposomes, alginate and chitosan. Long-term colloid stability of particles during one and three weeks of storage in model conditions was tested. Further, particles were added into model skin creams. Long-term sedimentation stability of these emulsions was analyzed by analytical centrifuge.

Production of pigments and lipid substances by microorganisms on waste substrates of the food industry
Hladká, Dagmar ; Němcová, Andrea (referee) ; Szotkowski, Martin (advisor)
The presented study is focused on production of carotenoids, lipids and other substances by carotenogenic yeasts and autotrophic algae. Studied strains were cultivated in media with different composition, including waste substrates from food industry. Studied strains were cultivated under stress conditions to enhance the production of desired metabolites. The theoretical part deals with the information about yeasts and algae, with the information about monitored metabolites such as lipids, carotenoids, ergosterol, ubichinon or chlorophyll. Furthermore, the theoretical part deals with possible methods of metabolite analysis. The experimental part deals with the description of cultivation of yeats and algae. Also experimental part is focused on the description of individual methods. The result part deals with comparition of production of biomass, metabolits and lipids. The selected strains of yeast were Sporidiobolus pararoseus, Sporidiobolus metaroseus, Sporobolomyces roceus, Phaffia rhodozyma and Dioszegia hungarica. The selected strains of algae were Desmodesmus acutus, Desmodesmus quadricauda, Scenedesmus dimorphus and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. We were optimized conditions for metabolites and lipids production. Optimal medium, which contained coffee hydrolyzate was with carbon to nitrogen ratio C/N 25. Nitrogen in higher concentration had negative effect on production of lipids. The most suitable strain for effective use of nitrogen in different concentrations was Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The most suitable strain of yeast for effective use of coffee hydrolyzate was Sporidiobolus metaroseus.

Study of Whey Biodegradation by thermophilic Bacteria
Fischerová, Lenka ; Vránová, Dana (referee) ; Babák, Libor (advisor)
This thesis deals with the possibilities of biodegradation of whey by the means of a mixed thermophilic aerobic bacterial culture of the Bacillus and Thermus genera. After protein had been removed, the whey was used as a medium for cultivation of the thermophilic microorganisms. The cultivations took their course in a fermentation unit and in the Erlenmayer flasks in a heated shaker in a whey medium. The bioengineering characteristics of the cultivation processes and the degree of biodegradation of the whey were evaluated. Scale of the whey biodegration was judged through the analytical characteristics – concentration of biomass, laktose and a chemical oxygen demand (COD). A decrease of CHSK was detected in all cultivations. Maximal reduction of CHSK was happend always in c. first half of each exponential phase growt, i.e. about 15 ± 3 % after first growth phase and sumarily about 62 ± 4 % after second growth phase.

Application of thermophilic Culture for Organic Compounds Biodegradation
Piechová, Jana ; Burdychová, Radka (referee) ; Babák, Libor (advisor)
The aim of this work is focused on biodegradability study of modified polyurethane materials (foams and foils) in glukose medium and biodegradation of whey. The biodegradability was tested with using mixed thermophilic aerobic bacterial culture of the Bacillus and Thermus genera. The cultivations were practised in the fermentor and in Erlenmayer flasks in a heated shaker. Maximal reduction of COD and culture growth has been achieved by biodegradation of polyuretane in the fermentor. Main effect of degradation was abiotic destruction of PUR materials and consequent utilization of degradation products by bacterial culture. These tests indicated that the best modification agent for biodegradation was 10% carboxymethyl cellulose. The polyurethane foam was more decomposed then the polyurethane foil. Biodegradation of whey without proteins in the fermentor was detected decrease of CHSK and lactose concentration about 50 % in 20th hour. Optimal conditions for whey biodegradation with the thermophilic bacterial culture were pH 6,5 and temperature 60 °C.

Whey utilization with thermophilic microorganisms
Rychová, Alexandra ; Vítová, Eva (referee) ; Babák, Libor (advisor)
This diploma thesis studies the utilization of whey using thermophilic bacteria of the genus Thermus and Geobacillus. The whey stripped off proteins was used as a cultivation medium during experiments. The cultivation took place in the Erlenmeyer flasks, to assess the optimal conditions for microrganism’s growth. During the cultivation in the bioreactor, growth curves were established. The amount of whey utilization was assessed by analytical methods that determine the concentration of reducing saccharides (lactose) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) while studying the optimal conditions and a method determining the concentration of reducing saccharides during growth curves analysis.
