B. VEGA Project No 1/9133/02 Development and control of new food technologies and
application of biological active components into foods to increase their quality according to
criteria used in EU (Alexander Dandár)
The growth of population leads to increased demands in food production with higher quality and durability. The
modern trends in new food technologies are characterized with increased productivity, durability and nutritive
value of produced foods. This is closely connected with the development and optimalization of basic
physicochemical and biochemical processes used from raw material to final products. These trends are topical all
over the world preferred by advanced national and multinational institutions. In our country there are demands
mainly defined by EU. Proposed project builds on the research have been solved in the last years at our
department to develop gained results.
The main goals of the project are:
1/ development and modification of progressive technological procedures in utilization of cereals and nontraditional
pseudocereals (amaranth)
2/ application of natural substances to improve the food quality; i.e. natural antioxidants, stabilisers and
substances with preventive effect on humans.
3/ utilization of microelements and other biologic important substances in raw materials and final products.
4/ using of lactic fermentation as a conservation method to produce semi- and final products.
5/ application of new liming agents without toxic compounds. Study of colorants formation and their elimination to
improve sugar quality.
Project duration: from 01.01.2005 to 31.12.2007
C. VEGA Project No. 1/3546/06 Monitoring and prevention of creation of biogenic amines to
ensure food quality and safety ( Karovičová Jolana)
Monitoring of occurrence of biogenic amines in plant and animal foods. Study of effect of model conditions
(temperature, pH, content of NaCl, NaNO 3 and preservatives) on the growth and production of biogenic amines by
both contaminating bacteria and starter cultures. Evaluation of inhibition effect of probiotic bacteria and starter
cultures on contaminants originating from raw materials (estimation of biogenic amines and organic acids).
Selection of starter cultures and bacteria employed in dairy and meat technology characterised by production of
bacteriocins and/or low production of biogenic amines. Use of multistatistic variation methods for evaluation of
microbiological and chemical analyses for prediction of occurrence of biogenic amines and behaviour of
microorganisms in model conditions and in food products.
Project duration: from 01.01.2005 to 31.12.2007

E. Project APVV-51-0179 05 Molecular mechanisms of action of new drugs interfering with
oxidative stress – the important factor in etiopathogensis of numerous diseases“.(/Doc.
MUDr. Svorad Štolc, DrSc., Institute of Experimental Pharmacology, SAS Bratislava.),
Cooperators: Hojerová, Boreková
Explanation of molecular mechanism´ effects of selected antioxidants and free radical scavengers in the
determinated conditions. In our stages are searched the effective transdermal vehicles for delivery antioxidants
and free radical scavengers and theirs profylactive effects against oxidative stress on the topical applications.
