Abstract
We developed watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris Schrad) wine to increase the market for the fruit, which is currently sold only in fresh form. The pH of watermelon wine was pH 2.8~3.4, the total acid level 0.48~0.55%, and the soluble solid $5{\sim}6^{\circ}brix$ alcohol content was 9.5~10.5%. Fermentation of watermelon juice was satisfactory at both 20C and 25C. All of citric acid, malic acid, and oxalic acid were detected in watermelon wine citric acid was the most abundant. All of glucose, fructose, sucrose, and maltose were present in juice, and both fructose and glucose were used in fermentation. Electron-donating ability (EDA) was high, being 80% of the control value when watermelon wine was diluted to $400\;{\mu}l/ml$. SOD-like activities were present in both watermelon juice and wine, being 55.2% and 49.2% of control values, respectively. Nitrite-scavenging ability (NSA) was 70.2% and 53.2% of control values in undiluted juice and wine, respectively. Watermelon juice showed higher activation than did wine, but functionality neither fell nor rose after fermentation. In sensory evaluation of wine, the overall score was better than average, at 4.15, thus establishing the commercial potential of watermelon wine.
