Project name in Czech
Výzkum využití syrovátky, jako odpadní látky mlékárenského průmyslu, k produkci antimikrobiálních sloučenin pro modifikace hydrofilních polymerních systémů s využitím v kosmetických a medicinálních aplikacích
Annotation in Czech
Cílem tohoto multioborového projektu je výzkum a návrh aplikace využití vedlejšího produktu mlékárenského průmyslu, syrovátky, jako suroviny pro biotechnologickou produkci látek s antimikrobiálním účinkem a jeho následnou inkorporaci do zvolených polymerních matric. Budou získány nové znalosti v oblasti biotechnologie, mikrobiologie a zpracovatelství a analýzy makromolekulárních soustav vedoucí k publikačním výsledkům na světové úrovni. Konečným výstupem pak bude nový produkt na polymerní bázi pro kosmetické a medicinální aplikace.

Project results evaluation
The aim of the project was to research and design an application for the use of a by-product from the dairy industry, whey, as a raw material for the biotechnological production of antimicrobial agents and its subsequent incorporation into selected polymer matrices. The project yielded new findings in the fields of biotechnology, microbiology and the processing and analysis of macromolecular systems, leading to the publication of the results. New findings were obtained relating to the creation of nisin from waste whey. A major step forward in the existing technology was achieved in techniques used to separate bacteriocins and stabilise them in polyethylene glycol. New findings were also obtained relating to the immobilization of bacteriocins in various types of polymer matrices. These findings were used to design and prepare semi-operative cosmetic products. The results of the project were also used in lessons at the Tomas Bata University in Zlín.
