This diploma thesis deals with preparation and characterization of alcohol-free beers with different flavours. Five flavoured and four pure, commercially available beers were tested. Three alcohol-free beers were then selected and used for preparation of flavoured beers. Ingredients used for production of flavour were honey, raspberry, ginger and cranberry. Analysis was focused mainly on substances of phenolic nature. Flavoured beers were also tested in sensory analysis. Ingredients used for flavouring of beers and production of both alcoholic and alcohol-free beers are described in theoretical part of the thesis. Analysis of polyphenols, flavonoids, technological characteristics and anthocyanins was performed using spectrophotometric method. Phenolic substances were identified and quantified by HPLC/PDA. Ascorbic acid was analysed by HPLC-NH2/UV. Results proved an increase of polyphenols, ascorbic acid and anthocyanins during flavouring of alcohol-free beers in dependence of used ingredients. Sensory analysis showed that as the best rated was the Staropramen beer with raspberry flavour. On the contrary, flavoured Bernard beers were poorly rated.
