Charles University in Prague Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Analytical Chemistry Candidate: Bc. Ivana Stachová Supervisor: Doc. RNDr. Dalibor Šatínský, Ph. D. Title of diploma Thesis: HPLC method development for artificial colorants determination in green beer samples HPLC method was used and validated for the simultaneous determination of synthetic water- soluble dyes: E 102 - Tartrazine, E 104 - Quinoline Yellow, E 110 - Sunset Yellow, E 131 - Patent blue, E 132 - Indigo carmine, E 142 - Green S, E 133 - Brilliant Blue FCF and E 143 - Fast Green FCF. The method was applied for direct determination of these dyes in samples of green beers Jarní pivo 11ř (Primátor, Náchod), Krasličák 14ř (Ježek, Jihlava), Zelený král Vratislav 12ř (Konrád, Vratislavice), Velikonoční speciál 14ř (Starobrno, Brno), Velikonoční ležák 12ř (Radniční pivovar, Jihlava) Rohozec 11ř (Rohozec, Malý Rohozec), Zelená nefiltrovaná 12ř (Žlebské Chvalovice), Velikonoční zelený ležák 12ř (Purkmistr, Plzeň), Velikonoční kopřivová 12ř (Modrá Hvězda, Dobřany), Valášek 12ř (Valášek, Vsetín), Podkováň 12ř (Podkováň, Dolní Cetno). Analytical Chromolith Performance CN 100 x 4.6 mm column and guard column Chromolith CN 5 x 4.6 mm Merck were used and mobile phase contained 40% (v/v) methanol / 2% (v/v) acetic acid..
