Changes in Chemical Components during the Maturation of Vitis vinifera Red Grapes

Vitis vinifera 적포도의 성숙중 화학성분의 변화

In order to investigate the changes of some chemical components during the maturation of Vitis vinifera red grapes, brix, total sugar, organic acids, total acid, pH and free amino acids were analyzed by HPLC etc. Brix, pH and total sugar content during the maturation of red grapes were increased rapidly but total acidity was decreased between 12~14 days after the formation of sugars. Its compositions were 16.5~17.9 of brix, 14.8~16.4g/100ml of total sugar, 3.24~3.25 of pH and 0.81~0.92g/100ml of total acidity. The ratio of brix/acid was increased gradually during the maturation. Glucose and fructose were contained more than 99% of total sugar and the content of sucrose were 0.03~0.04g/100ml in three varieties (Cabernet sauvignon, Cabernet franc and Malbec). The ratio of fructose/glucose in maturated three red grapes was ranged 1.04~1.06. Organic acids during the maturation, when sugars increased, were decreased rapidly and the ratio of tartaric/malic acid showed 0.83~1.00. Free amino acids during the maturation were increased and these content were 256.8mg~290.9mg/100ml in three varieties. The content of proline was the highest content of free amino acids in three red grapes, the next ones were arginine, alanine and glutamic acid in the other with 73.2~77.2% of total free amino acids. Especially, content of arginine was higher than others in Malbec variety.

Vitis vinifera 적포도의 성숙중 brix, 총당, 유기산, 총산, pH 및 유리아미노산 등의 함량변화를 HPLC 등의 기기를 이용하여 분석하였다. 성숙중 당류는 당이 생성되기 시작한 후 21일 경과할 때까지 급증하였으며, 그 후 증가속도는 둔화되었고, 산류는 이와 반대 현상을 보였다. 성숙된 포도의 성분함량은 품종에 따라 차이가 있었으나, brix 16.5~17.9, 총당 14.76~16.40g/100ml, pH 3.24~3.25 및 총산 0.88~0.928/100ml이었다. 성숙중 brix/acid의 비는 점점 증가하여 성숙된 포도에서 Cabernet sauvignon 18.7, Cabernet franc 20.4 및 Malbec 18.1을 보였다. 성숙된 포도의 F/C의 비율은 1.04~1.06으로 3가지 품종에서 비슷하였고, tartaric/malic acid 비율은 0.83~1.00이었다. 성숙중 유리아미노산은 점점 증가하여 품종별 성숙된 유리아미노산의 함량은 256.8~290.9mg/100ml의 분포였으며, 유리아미노산의 조성에서 3 품종중 가장 많이 함유된 것은 proline이었고, 그 다음으로 arginine, alanine 및 glutamic acid의 순이었으며, 이들 4가지의 아미노산이 총유리아미노산의 73.2~77.2% 범위 였다. 특히 Malbec 품종의 경우 다른 두 품종에 비하여 arginine의 함량이 비교적 많았다.
