| Description | In the thesis the content of zinc of thirteen dishes obtained in Military University of Ground Forces in Vyškov was defined by means of the chemical analysis and theoretical calculation. According to the chemical analysis, the biggest amount of zinc was proven in the following dishes: roast chicken with rice and cucumber salad, while the smallest amount of zinc contained fried cauliflower, chips and tatar sauce. Having compared the results of the chemical analysis and of the theoretical calculation, we realized that it is not possible to compare these two methods because their results differ. Based on theory that midday meal presents 50% of recommended day intake of all nutrients and minerals, it should be the optimum intake of zinc for adult person in ordinary food configuration 6 – 7,5 mg. These requirements subserve only the dish „Fried cheese, potatoes dumplings, tartar sauce“. According to the chemical analysis results, the largest amount of zinc was found in the dishes including roast chicken with rice and cucumber salad (it was 32 mg), while the smallest amount of zinc contained fried cauliflower, chips and tatar sauce (1,7 mg). The chemical analysis results are not possible to replace by theoretical calculations because they do not respond to each other. |
