Study of selected vegetable oils from nuts
Lovásová, Kristína ; Kovalčík, Adriána (referee) ; Zemanová, Jana (advisor)
The bachelor´s thesis deals with the characterization of the selected nut oils. The theoretical part concentrates on the topic of vegetable oils, their composition and properties. It also focuses on the nuts, the specification of the selected nut oils and their use in different industries. It includes an overview of analytical methods suitable for assessing the quality of oils. The experimental part compares the results of the oil characterization using the selected methods. Based on the results, the differences between the samples were evaluated. The properties of the oils were determined on the basis of fat characteristics. These were subsequently specified by the determination of fatty acid composition. Fatty acids were determined using gas chromatography with a flame-ionization detector after conversion to methyl esters by acid esterification with boron trifluoride. The determination of volatile compounds was performed through solid-phase microextraction with gas chromatography separation and mass spectrometry detection. According to the fat characteristics, in particular the peroxide value, it was found that both oils were partially oxidatively degraded, even though they were stored in the refrigerator (4 °C). A total of 13 saturated, 7 monounsaturated and 4 polyunsaturated fatty acids were detected. The total content of fatty acids varied, the higher content was detected in the walnut oil. Significant differences occurred in the composition of unsaturated fatty acids; the hazelnut oil had a higher content of monounsaturated oleic acid, the walnut oil had a high content of polyunsaturated linoleic and -linolenic acids. A total of 29 volatile compounds were identified, the number and content of volatile compounds in samples differed. 20 volatile compounds were identified in the walnut oil, and 19 compounds in the hazelnut oil. The higher content was in the hazelnut oil, the quantitatively most important group were aldehydes in both oils.

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 macerates of selected plant materials in oily bases
Masár, Martin ; Pořízka, Jaromír (referee) ; Zemanová, Jana (advisor)
The aim of this thesis was in terms of literary research describe the composition, production, impact on human health and diverse uses of vegetable oils and their herbal macerates in human life. Herbal oil macerates are actually a blend of oils and herbs, created to produce a product that combines the beneficial effects of oils with therapeutic effects of herbs. Avocado and almond oil were used in combination with herbs such as black elder, chinese tea tree and ginger. Each herb also affects to some extent the quality of oil, which was observed in the time dependence of acid number in herbal macerates compared to pure oils. The acidity of the oil is also significantly influenced by temperature and therefore one set of samples was macerated at room temperature and the other in a thermostate at 35°C. The time dependencies of the acidity number of the individual oils and macerates were plotted into graphs and compared. In most cases, the thermostate-stored oils and macerates obtained higher acidity than those stored at room temperature. The effect of the herbs on the acidity of the oil varied in the different types of macerates, with the highest acidity values being taken by macerates with black elder flowers and the lowest, most similar to pure oils, by macerates with black elder fruits. At the end of the experiment, total and free fatty acids from the last sampling (after 77 days of extraction) of macerates and oils at room temperature were analysed by gas chromatography. Again, there were some differences in the composition of total and free fatty acids in herbal macerates compared to pure oils. Some herbs affect the composition of individual fatty acids more, others do not affect it almost at all.

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.
