The assessment of chosen characteristics of cheese fats
Koval, Dominik ; Hrstka, Miroslav (referee) ; Vítová, Eva (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with assessment of selected fat characteristics of natural edam cheese. The theoretical part deals with general characteristics of natural cheese and structure of individual components. The main objective was to introduce and optimize methods in a laboratory to simple analysis of fat in cheese. Fat numbers were determined. To optimize were used samples, which were purchased at regular food store. With optimized methods were analyzed samples of cheese produced in cooperation with the Institute of Food Technology of Tomas Bata University in Zlin.

Study of extraction of biologically active substances into fatty base
Komárek, Šimon ; Vítová, Eva (referee) ; Zemanová, Jana (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with macerates of comfrey (Symphytum officinale) in selected fats (food lard, cosmetic lard and almond oil). Selected fats were first characterized by dry matter content, saponification, acid, iodine number, peroxide value. At the same time, total and free fatty acids were determined using GC-FID. Macerates were prepared by extraction of comfrey roots with selected fats. In prepared macerates the change in acid and peroxide value was monitored, as well as the content of selected bioactive compounds. The content of total phytosterol and total carotenoid content was determined by UV-VIS spectrometry, phytosterols and carotenoids were also analysed using HPLC-DAD. Total phenolic content was measured using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and antioxidant activity by ABTS assay. The measured properties were then compared with industrially produced comfrey ointment. In macerated fats the increase in acid and peroxide value was determined. Furthermore, an increase in the content of total phytosterols and total carotenoids was observed. Using HPLC-DAD the content of -sitosterol and stigmasterol was determined, but carotenoids were not detected. Of the tocopherols, only DL--tocopherol acetate was detected. During maceration, the content of total phenolic compound in fat increased, which caused a change in antioxidant activity.

Modern vegetable oils useful in food and cosmetics
Plachtová, Kateřina ; Mravcová, Ludmila (referee) ; Zemanová, Jana (advisor)
The aim of this Bachelor’s thesis was to make a literary research of currently most used vegetable oils in food technology, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals focusing on health benefits, possibilities of use. Two selected modern vegetable oils were specified that are currently a subject of research in respektive fields. The selected modern oils were carrot seed oil and raspberry seed oil. A literary recherche was drawn up dealing with these oils from the perspective of their composition, charakteristics, properties and use in food technology, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. In the experimental part of the thesis the fatty characteristics of carrot seed oil and raspberry seed oil were determined: acid value, saponification value, ester number, iodine value, peroxide value. Also fatty acids present in the oils were identified and quantified using gas chromatography with flame ionization detector. Fatty acids were analysed as their methylesters. Derivatization was was performer by alkalic esterification using methanolic solution of potassium hydroxide. In conclusion, selected oils were compared in terms of fatty characteristics and fatty acid profiles. Fatty acid composition was also compared to fatty acid composition found in literature sources.

Study of quality of different vegetable oils
Martinů, Michaela ; Janoušková, Eva (referee) ; Zemanová, Jana (advisor)
The aim of the diploma thesis was determined the particular fatty characteristics of various vegetable oils in dependence on their storage life and storage conditions. Storage conditions were defined by room temperature and coolroom temperature. The fourteen oils were used for analyses, namely linseed oils, castor oil, grape seed oil, almond oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, avocado oil, apricot kernel oil, corn oil, rice bran oil, macadamia nut oil, soya bean oil, pumpkin seed oil and sunflower oil. All tested oils were supplied by firm M+H, Míča a Harašta s.r.o. The fatty characteristics included the saponification value, the acid value, the iodine value and the thiobarbituric value. The ester values and the percentage glycerol content were counted on the basis of the saponification value and the acid value. Time dependences of all fatty characteristics were figured to graphs and they were compared on various storage conditions. The fatty characteristics indicated lower values in storage of oil samples in coolroom than at laboratory temperature.
