Koření z čeledi miříkovitých a jejich využití v potravinářském průmyslu
Halodová, Tereza
The diploma thesis "Spices of the Apiaceae Family and Their Use in the Food Processing Industry" focuses on the characteristics of medicinal, aromatic, and spice herbs. The the-sis examines the legislation related to spices, plant substances, and their use in the food processing industry, particularly in the production of essential oils. The thesis also describes the methods of essential oil extraction and the norms for determining their con-tent. The thesis provides a detailed description of the Apiaceae family, which includes significant plant species used as spices. The practical part of the thesis includes a compa-rison and analysis of specific spices from the Apiaceae family, such as Anise, Fennel, Caraway, Dill, and Coriander. The content of essential oils in these spices was determined using the steam distillation method (based on Český lékopis 2017). Samples of the spices were obtained from four different manufacturers. The discovered content of essential oils ranged from 0.66 ml/100 g to 5.26 ml/100 g.

Quick determination of compounds contained in caraway (Carum carvi L.) by a method usable in agricultural practice
Horáčková, L. ; Pluháčková, H. ; Bradáčová, M. ; Kudláčková, Barbora
Caraway is a very important agricultural commodity whose quality is determined by parameters such as dry matter, essential oil content and composition, especially the ratio of its two major components carvone and limonene. Appropriate method for their analysis is given in the Cesky lekopis (2017), however, this method is rather time-consuming, costly and demands large quantity of sample. The use of a NIR spectrometer could be a viable alternative, it is much faster and cheaper, as can be clearly seen from the comparison of both methods in this paper. In the time aspect, it's saving from many hours to a few minutes. Newly presented method could potentially be more accessible to agricultural companies who need quick quality verification of their product before taking it to the market from the viewpoint of final product quality not just the quantity, which, in most cases, is nowadays a current state of practice.

Stanovení optimálních parametrů pro ošetření kmínu plazmovým výbojem
ROUHA, Pavel
The focus of this bachelor thesis is on the use of plasma discharges in agriculture, more specifically in the treating of seeds of caraway using low-pressure plasma equipment Plasonic AR-550-M. The theoretical section is made up of two parts. The first one is a literary research on the caraway, its history and present, the history of its growing in the Czech Republic and the botanical and biological characteristics of this plant. The second part is devoted to plasma, its principles, types of plasma discharges and its use. The practical section contains a description of plasma equipment Plasonic AR-550-M and a brief instruction manual. Furthermore, there is a methodology of realization of measurements and its results that explain the effect of the plasma discharge on caraway seeds.
