This thesis is focused on the quality and technological parameters of meat products and their monitoring during one year. In the theoretical part, there is mentioned legislation which needs to be followed during the production of meat products, including the classification of meat products. In this thesis there is also mentioned classification according to traditional structure, which is often followed by producers. In the theoretical part there is described production of meat products including technological operations as well as used ingredients. The last part of the literature overview is focused on the meat quality including its definition, its characters, effects afflicting the quality and methods rating the quality. In the practical part of this thesis there are mentioned results of chemical, sensory and instrumental analysis of Myslivecká klobása, as it was chosen as meat product dedicated to this thesis and these results are evaluated. The main goal was to find the differences in batches which were produced during one year period, inluding the losses and compare the results with control batch.

This diploma thesis focuses on products, namely the product of „Špekáček“. The theoretical part deals with the division of meat products, quality requirements and describes specific ingredients used in meat industry. The thesis also describes individual stages of their production. The following part gives the specific characteristic of „Špekáček“, its history, recipe and production. The requirements for „Špekáček“ as Guaranteed traditional speciality under Czech law are described. In the practical part differences in quality parameters of „Špekáček“ with lowered content of salt contrary to the traditional recipe were compered. The comparison was made using chemical and sensory analysis, which was complemented with instrument measurement of colour.

The thesis Comparison of Methods of Determination of Nutritional Value of Meat Products and their Presentation on the Packaging consists of theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part deals with chemical composition of meat, description and division of meat products according to current legislation, packaging and labeling of foods and nutritional value. The last chapter is focused on laboratory methods of analysis of basic components of meat products. The practical part contains the physics-chemical and sensory analysis. The psychics- chemical analysis describes the laboratory determination of the dry matter, fat protein and salt content of selected meat products produced by the meat company Hadac and Zapletal s.r.o., and the differences between the results obtained using the used methods and the labeling on the consumer packaging. Sensory analysis deals with evaluation of selected meat products descriptors and comparison of results.

The aim of this diploma thesis „Evaluation of Selected Quality Parameters in Heat-treated Meat Products“ in the theoretical part were characterized heat treated meat products, produciton materials, production technology and description of the products packaging in detail. Furthermore were characterized microorganisms of meat and meat products which cause their destruction and factors influencing their growth were taken into account. Another part of the work was experimental and it was about the quality monitoring of two types of heat-treated meat products, divided into two batches. One of the practical part was microbiological analysis and these microorganisms were monitored: total bacteria count, the number of coliform bacteria, the total number of psychrotrophic microorganisms, the number of anaerobic endospore forming bactreia, yeasts and fungi and the amount of enterococcus bakteria. Simultaneously with microbial analysis, pH determination was performed. At the last stage of diploma thesis is statistical evaluation of the results which is monitoring the numbers of microorganisms and the pH depending on the storage period.

The goal of theoretical part of this my diploma thesis was to study and find out needs of human organism in all phases of life to amount of nutritions and energy income. Next goal was to describe contents of meat products and determinate benefits and negatives of their consummation. Next, the demands for content of meat products and their labeling was described. In practical part of my diploma thesis was determined contents of proteins, fats, salt and dry matter was determined. From the contents of proteins and fats was than calculated energy values of selected meat products. Proteins was determined by Kjeldahl´s method. Fats were determined with extraction method by Soxhlet and also by machine MeatScanTM. Contents of salt was determined with argentometric method by Mohr and dry matter was determined gravimetricly and on machine MeatScanTM. Final results were compared with tables of contents on packages of analyzed meat products. Differences between determined values and values which were on labels was found in approximately 75% cases (P < 0.05). Test results were then used for comparison of nutrient and energetic values between analyzed meat products. Best results from the nutrition point of view had “selection ham” and “the ham of highest quality”. Contents of nutritions was then compared with the valid legislative. All samples of meat products were in compliant with set demands. Lastly, there was sensor analysis. The products were divided in two groups. In one group, there were only franfurters. In the second group were remaining samples of meat products. With frankfurters the only proven difference was in the descript of salinity in spite of the fact, that the samples didn´t have different content of salt (P < 0.05). The best rated product in the second category was “the ham of the highest quality”, the worst rated product was “selected beef ham”. From the nutrient and a sensor point of view is best “the ham of highest quality”.

The aim of the thesis is to evaluate the possibilities of exporting products of company EXPRES MENU to Canada and Australia, especially from the logistical and legislative aspects. This thesis should serve as a practical guide to prepare export of products containing meat to Australia and Canada. The observations are applicable for exports of goods stored and transported in room temperature (+1 to +30 °C) and for other Czech exporters as information about legislative restrictions and requirements for import of meat and meat product to these countries.

This Master's thesis deals with the strategic analysis of the company KMOTR - Masna Kroměříž a.s. for the period 2009 -- 2013 and a comparison of its results with selected competitors. Consequently there is analysed the sector where KMOTR operates. The thesis is divided into three major parts. The first part deals with the theoretical basis for financial analysis and strategic sector analysis. Another part is focused on the analysis of the production and preserving of meat and meat products and introduction of selected competitors. Last part comprises my own analysis based on public financial statements. In the conclusion there is presented a summary of the most important results and recommendations for improvement of the company situation.

In the diploma thesis I was dealing with the issue of food safety in the Czech Republic and labeling of meat products. In the practical part were carried out two surveys, public opinion poll and survey of proper labeling of meat products. Opinion polls were attended by 462 consumers and analysis of proper labelling was subjected to 489 meat products in select retail chains in Prague. Survey results of labeling of meat products were not very positive, but can be expected to improve, as well as enhancing food safety.

This thesis deals with the organic livestock production in South Bohemian region. The aim of the thesis was to analyze the South Bohemian organic meat production, production of eggs and honey and distribution of the biocommodities. Through the processing of data from the database IAEI and questionnaire survey, conducted at the level of organic farmers farming in the South Bohemian region with a valid certificate for meat production, development and the current market situation of organic meat production were assessed in the South Bohemian region.
