Effects of the addition of distillates in white sausage production on the sensory quality of the product
Horňan, Samuel ; Kovalčík, Adriána (referee) ; Mikulíková, Renata (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the production and sensory analysis of white sausages to which different types of distillates have been added. The aim of this thesis is to observe the effect of the added distillates on the overall sensory quality of the sausages. The theoretical part describes meat and meat products, meat and meat product legislation, characteristics of sausages and the technological process of white sausage production. Furthermore, it characterises alcoholic beverages, the legislation of spirits and distillates, and it includes the characteristics and description of raw materials for the production of distillates as well as substances occurring in distillates. In addition, it illustrates the basic principles of sensory perception and sensory analysis. The experimental part deals with the production of white sausages to which 5 selected types of distillates have been added. The result consisted of a total of 10 sausage samples produced in 2 batches, each batch varying in the volume of the added distillate. Together with the samples there was also produced a standard that contained no added distillate. These sausage samples were then further evaluated sensorially using general discrimination tests, a sensory profile evaluation method and the dynamic method Temporal Dominance of Sensations (TDS). Besides the sensory analysis all samples underwent gas chromatography that determines the percentage of their fatty acids content. The data obtained from the sensory analysis were subjected to the general descriptive statistics and graphically evaluated. The evaluation of the difference between the samples and the standard was performed statistically using the Thurston model and hypothesis tests. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed the existence of statistically significant differences in some of the measured parameters, between the samples with lower and higher added volume of distillate. Correlations between the measured parameters were identified by covariance. Differences and similarities of the individual samples regarding their parameters were evaluated by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Graphical analysis of the results from TDS described and clarified in more detail the variation of dominant flavours in the samples over time, which were not detected in the sensory profile evaluation.

Use of antioxidants in the production of white sausages
Richterová, Nikola ; Pořízka, Jaromír (referee) ; Mikulíková, Renata (advisor)
This thesis focuses on the use of antioxidants in the production of white sausage. Two herbs were chosen as representatives of natural antioxidants (Salvia officinalis and Rosmarinus officinalis), whose effects were compared with the synthetic antioxidant butylhydroxytoluene. Furthermore, this thesis discusses the possibilities of using the FoodScan 2 device for the determination of basic nutritional characteristics in the produced sausages. The impact of antioxidant addition was evaluated, especially on the sensory quality and consumer acceptability of the manufactured sausage. Herbs were added to the sausages in dried, ground form and in the form of prepared ethanol extracts. The impact on the oxidative damage of the sausages during storage in cold (4 °C) for five days was also examined. The protein, fat, water, and ash content in the sausage samples was determined using the FoodScan 2 device, the results were compared with those acquired using simple analytical methods. On the day of production and then five days of storage in cold, the lipid content and fatty acid profile in the sausage samples were examined by gas chromatography, and the content of substances reactive with thiobarbituric acid in the sausage samples was examined by spectrophotometric analysis. The antioxidant activity of the samples was also measured. Furthermore, the manufactured sausage samples were subjected to microbial control. The prepared ethanol extracts and butylated hydroxytoluene were analysed for antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Micrococcus luteus. For most evaluators, the herbs and their extracts that were added to the meat product appeared tasty and consumer friendly. Statistically significant differences were found between the samples using the Kruskal-Wallis test. In produced samples, herbs exhibit comparable efficiency to synthetic butylhydroxytoluene and could be a suitable alternative to synthetic food additives.

Development of a recipe for white sausage with a share of vegetable protein and fibre
Blahutová, Petra ; Svoboda, Zdeněk (referee) ; Mikulíková, Renata (advisor)
The thesis is focused on the development of a recipe for white sausage with a substitute of vegetable origin. Red lentils and root vegetables represented by carrots, parsley and celery were chosen as substitutes. Three sets of sausage samples with four different concentrations were prepared according to the optimized recipe. The samples prepared in this way were subjected to a sensory analysis in order to determine the optimal concentration of the substitute in the sausages.The content of selected nutritional characteristics, specifically proteins, fats and fatty acids, carbohydrates and water, and their trends were determined for the prepared samples. With the exception of a few, gradually increasing or decreasing trends in the contents of nutritional parameters were detected depending on the abnormal concentration of the substitute. Data from sensory and nutritional testing were subjected to statistical evaluation. Regarding the sensory parameters, it was shown that the samples with low and high content of substitutes are significantly different from each other across the sensory parameters. The statistical correlation of the sensory and nutritional evaluation showed that the sausage samples with higher fat content and low substitute content were evaluated as tasty, which means that there is a direct correlation between the fat content and the overall rating of the sausage. The sample with 36 % of the substitute remaining from a 1:1 mixture of red lentils and root vegetables was chosen as the best sample. It was the most sensory-pleasing to consumers and at the same time enriched with a plant component.
