Bioflavouring of beer using new Czech hop varieties
Ondruch, Petr ; Diviš, Pavel (referee) ; Pořízka, Jaromír (advisor)
This diploma thesis focuses on bioflavouring of beer using new czech hop varieties. Dry hopping is a phenomem, that contributes to the attractiveness and diversity of beer and is nowadays gaining in popularity. The aim of this work was to determine the effect of dry hopping on sensory profile and analytical parametrs of dry-hopped beers using czech hop varieties. Sensory evaluation and chemical analysis of these beers were taken. The chemical analysis included determination of the basic beer characteristics, total phenolic a flavonoid content, antioxidant activity and the concentration of selected organic acids and chemical elements. It was found out that dry-hopped beers compared to the reference beer presented higher bitterness, antioxidant activity and contained higher amount of flavonoids. Also an increase in pottasium, manganese, copper, calcium and malic acid levels was reported. The pH of beer samples was not affected by dry hopping. Sensory evaluation showed that dry hopping had a positive influence on the overall enjoyment of the beer, which was mainly determined by the higher aroma and more intense bitterness. By summaring all the data, it is obvious that dry hopping of beer using new czech hop varieties has a positive effect on the quality of the final beer and these hop varities are suitable for further use in the beer industry.

Hodnocení fyzikálně-chemických parametrů zrajících sýrů
Strojilová, Hana
The diploma thesis on the topic "Evaluation of Physicochemical Parameters of Ri-pened Cheeses" deals with the topic of the history of cheeses and their composition in its theoretical part. The thesis also mentions the importance of dairy products in nutri-tion. Other chapters are devoted to the technological production of cheeses with low-heated and high-heated cheese curd and their important representatives. In the last chapters of the theoretical part there is a general description of the used methods for the determination of fatty acids in the formulas. The experimental part of the thesis is focused on basic analytical methods that allow control of individual components of cheese with its packaging. At the same time, a comparison of sampling of Gouda chee-se and Edam cheese was made. Additionally, an experiment was carried out in the ex-perimental part, during which individual fatty acids were extracted. The extraction of fatty acids was carried out according to the method of Hara and Radin. The samples were derivatized and analysed by using a gas chromatograph. Individual percentage values of acids were compared in all samples together. Furthermore, the content of individual fatty acids was evaluated with samples compared by type of cheese. For the experimental part, samples of cheeses with low-heated cheese curd were used there.

Bioflavouring of low alcoholic beer by dry hopping
Dušánek, Václav ; Mikulíková, Renata (referee) ; Pořízka, Jaromír (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the influence of cold hopping of low-alcohol beers on analytical properties and sensory profile of beer. The effect of cold hopping was observed using the varieties Kazbek, Jazz, Mimosa and Uran. In the experimental part, the production process of low-alcohol beer using immobilized yeast is described. After the main fermentation, the low-alcohol beer was kegged into five cuvettes and after 20 days cold-hopped at a dose of 3 g/l with individual varieties. The effect of cold hopping with individual varieties on the organoleptic properties of the beer was observed. Bitterness was determined, with cold-hopped beers showing an increase between 17-24 % in bitterness. Furthermore, the ethanol content was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography at 2,14 % vol. A significant increase in all volatiles, in particular -myrcene and linalool, was found in the cold-hopped beers by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry. The sensory analysis showed that the cold hopping had a positive effect on the overall impression and masked the taste defects of the reference low-alcohol beer. The best hop evaluated for the use of the cold hopping method was the Kazbek variety. The Jazz and Mimosa varieties were also perceived relatively positively by the evaluators. On the other hand, the Uran variety achieved a worse overall impression than the reference beer.

Hodnocení jakosti bílých jogurtů v závislosti na obsahu tuku vstupní suroviny
Šťastná, Magdaléna
The thesis aimed to evaluate the quality of plain yoghurt depending on the fat content of the input raw material. The literature part is focused on the legislative requirements and classification of fermented dairy products and plain yoghurt, the raw materials from which plain yoghurt is produced and the basic technological operations of the production process. In addition, mention is made of vegetable fats and their use in the manufacture of alternative dairy products. The practical part deals with the production of yoghurts with different fat contents and different raw materials (animal and vegetable fat). Experimentally produced samples were subjected to Physico-chemical and microbiological analysis. A sensory questionnaire was developed and the yoghurts were sensorially evaluated. Finally, it was assessed whether the use of vegetable fats as a fat additive in the manufacture yoghurts is possible. The result showed that the use of vegetable fats to produce yoghurts of lower fat content would be possible without negative effects on quality, provided that this was allowed by legislation. According to Czech legislation, only a product containing a dairy raw materiál may be called yoghurt. Therefore, this product could not be called yoghurt, but an alternative dairy product.

Hodnocení jakostních parametrů kozích jogurtů v závislosti na vstupní surovině
Němcová, Vendula
The aim of the work was to evaluate the physico-chemical and microbiological parameters of organic goat yoghurts and milk, which was used for their production. The results were evaluated depending on the season and storage time of yoghurts. Sampling took place during spring, summer, autumn and winter. The sampling schedule during storage was chosen according to the shelf life given by the producer with the possibility of extending the shelf life of the product. The evaluated parameters included dry matter, fat, protein and lactose content, titratable and active acidity and microbiological analysis (total number of microorganisms, lactic acid bacteria, psychrotrophic microorganisms, coliform bacteria, enterococci and micromycetes). Goat's milk and, depending on it, yoghurts were subject to seasonal changes in composition with a higher dry matter content in winter and lower in summer. These differences were also reflected in the different titratable acidity and the total number of microorganisms. No coliform bacteria were present in the yoghurts. Enterococci, psychrotrophs and micromycetes (mostly yeasts) have been reported. Between the 3rd and 13th day of storage the number of psychrotrophs and micromycetes increased significantly. For yeasts and molds, another significant increase followed between the 18th and 24th day of storage. Only slight post-acidification was observed during yoghurt’s storage.

The issues of proving the use of pesticides in illegal poisoning of animals
Křížová, Iveta ; Cajthaml, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kukla, Jaroslav (referee)
Pesticide poisoning is a worldwide problem. Pesticides are chemicals designed to eliminate unwanted organisms. Many products are banned due to their toxicity, but they are still being abused. The problem arises in proving poisoning due to lack of evidence. Tracing chemicals using chemical attribution signatures is a relatively new method used in forensic sciences, but pesticides are understudied in this field. Characteristic compounds in chemicals are searched for that may provide the necessary information about produce and use illicit substances. This bachelor's thesis deals with the abuse of pesticide products in illegal poisoning of wildlife. Special attention is paid to carbofuran, which is the most frequently abused pesticide in the Czech Republic. The aim of the experimental part was to analyze carbofuran preparations and to prove that individual preparations differ qualitatively from each other.
