Determination of selected nutritional parameters in the fruit of the plant genus Ribes
Ledvina, Vojtěch ; Diviš, Pavel (referee) ; Vespalcová, Milena (advisor)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the small fruit representatives from the plant genus Ribes L. - currant, gooseberry and jostaberry. The beginning of theoretical part describes history of cultivation and basic botanical description of individual cultivars. The next part describes important substances contained in fruit as well as their importance in human diet and it also describes some basic products made of the Ribes L. genus representatives. The final section of the theoretical part contains basic principal of determination of individual nutritional parameters. In the experimental part several nutritional parameters were determined including dry matter, soluble solids, pH, titratable acids, formol number, reducing sugars and total phenolics. Individual species and cultivars were compared based on the results.

Extraction of bioactive substances from the pomace of red grapes
Jandrtová, Sabina ; Pořízka, Jaromír (referee) ; Vespalcová, Milena (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the research of chosen chemical characteristics in juice and in extracts of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.). The theoretical part is divided into three parts. In the first part is described the botanical characteristic of grapevine, then its origin, morphology, chemical composition, species and uses. In the second part are characterized anthocyanin pigments, their occurrence and attributes. There are described methods of the investigation. In the third part are described extractions. The experimental part illustrates extractions of the pomace. The purpose of these extractions is to find out the total amount of anthocyanins and phenolics in the pomace, and which solvent gives the highest yield. Then the chemical characteristics, such as total and soluble solids, pH, the amount of titratable acids, reducing carbohydrates, phenolics and anthocyanins, are described in this section. All determinations are executed and results are compared among grapevine juice and two species (Cabernet Sauvignon and Zweigeltrebe). The most suitable solvent is selected a mixture of water and ethanol in a ratio 50:50. In the most effective hours are determined the chemical characteristics. The titratable acids are expressed as the amount of the tartaric acid. The amount of phenolics is expressed as gallic acid and the amount of anthocyanins as malvidin-3-glucoside.

Extraction of bioactive substances from black currant pomace
Sedláčková, Lucie ; Štursa, Václav (referee) ; Vespalcová, Milena (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with extraction of bioactive substances from black currant pomace (Ribes nigrum). The theoretical part contains the botanical characteristics of the plant species Ribes nigrum. It is also devoted to the biologically active substances contained in black currant and possibilities of using black currant in the food industry. The fourth chapter deals with description of phenolic compounds, their distribution and methods of determination of phenolic substances. The fifth chapter describes selected extraction procedures. In the experimental part, there were extracted dry black currant pomace in order to optimize the extraction process and obtain the highest yields of dyes. In addition, were determined the selected chemical and physical characteristics of blackcurrant juice and extracts from blackcurrant pomace. A better solvent was a mixture of water and ethanol in a volume ratio of 1:1. After 14 hours maceration of dry pomace, were obtained 769,9 mg anthocyanins per 100 g of dry material.

Determination of basic chemical characteristics of blueberry pulp
Strapcová, Zuzana ; Hrstka, Miroslav (referee) ; Vespalcová, Milena (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the investigation of selected chemical characteristics in the semifinished products of blueberries (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) and blueberries high (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). The theoretical part is described the botanical characteristics of both blueberries. The use of fruits is described in the next part. A description of the determination of the selected characteristic, refractometric of sugar dry mater, is described at the end of the theoretical part. In the experimental part, chemical characteristics were determined as total and soluble solids, pH, amount of titratable acids, reducing carbohydrates, phenolics and total anthocyanins in juice, pulp and extracts of blueberries. The purpose of the extracts was to find out how many total anthocyanins and phenolics are found in the skin of the fruit and which extract gives the highest yields. The results of the characteristics were compared across the wholefruit and semifinished products of the both blueberries. A mixture of water and ethanol in a ratio 50:50 was the most suitable solvent. The maximum extraction dependence was at twelfth and thirteenth hours of maceration. The maximum extraction dependence was determined by the above described chemical characteristics. Content of anthocyanin dyes expressed as delphinidin-3-glucoside was determined in extract of blueberry in 59,7 mg DGE100 g-1 and blueberries high in 19,6 mg DGE100 g-1. Total phenolics content expressed as gallic acid was determined in extract of blueberry in 890,9 mg GAE100 g-1 and blueberries high in 249,9 mg GAE100 g-1.

Basic chemical characteristics of chokeberry juices
Zámorská, Vendula ; Veselá, Mária (referee) ; Vespalcová, Milena (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals wirh characteristics of berries and assessment of basic chemical parameters of chokeberry juices (Aronia melanocarpa). The theoretical part is about the basic botanical description of selected varieties of Aronia and its taxonomic status. The following are important substances contained in fruits and their part in human nutrition and use for food purposes. The end of the theoretical part of bachelor thesis is about basic methods of determining the nutritional parameters of berries. In the experimental part solids content of the fruit. Furthermore soluble dry matter content, pH, titratable acidity, formol number, reducing sacharides and ascorbic acid by spectrofotometry were determined. Based on the results, juices were compared.

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.
