Four kinds of wild grape Yakju were fermented with wild grape and cereal such as rice, glutinous rice, barley or millet, and their quality characteristics were investigated. Reducing sugar, total sugar, and activities of $\alpha$- and $\beta$-amylase decreased until 2nd day, increased on 3rd day, and gradually decreased after 5 days of fermentation. Reducing sugar content was in the order of glutinous rice> barley> rice> millet group, and this was consistent with the result of $\beta$-amylase activity. Total sugar content was in the order of glutinous rice> rice> barley> millet group, and it was consistent with starch content of each cereal. Alcohol content decreased after 2 days, then glutinous rice group gradually increased from 3 days whereas other groups showed no difference from 5 days of fermentation. pH decreased until 2 days of fermentation, slightly increased and then showed almost no change after 5 days of fermentation. Total acid increased until 2 days, then decreased on 3rd day of fermentation, and gradually increased in the order of barley> millet> rice> glutinous rice group. L value was the highest in the initial day of fermentation, however it decreased with fermentation time. While a value was also the highest in the initial day of fermentation, it gradually decreased after slightly increasing in 3 days of fermentation. In contrast, b value was the lowest in the initial day of fermentation. It greatly increased until 3 days, then decreased on 5th day of fermentation and gradually increased again. Groups of rice and glutinous rice had more brown color than those of barley and millet. In the sensory evaluation, wild grape Yakju using rice was the most preferred in taste, flavor, and overall preference.

This study was conducted to investigate several indicators of fruit maturity, and expert sensory evaluation was done to determine the most appropriate maturity time for the new Korea grape cultivar 'doonuri' for high quality winemaking. The grape component changed dramatically during ripening, after veraison. Considerable drops in berry firmness (<0.60 kgf/$cm^2$) and titratable acidity (<0.66%) were found at the ripening stage while the soluble solid content significantly increased in the ripening process. Most of the organic acids contained were tartaric and malic acid. The malic acid content was about twice the tartaric acid content in the fruit-growing period but was less than the tartaric acid content in the maturity period. The total anthocyanin and polyphenol contents increased sharply after veraison. In particular, the total anthocyanin and polyphenol contents reached their maximum levels when the acidity was 0.55%, and after that, there was almost no change. Correlations between anthocyanin accumulation and several factors were found in sugar 0.7811 (p<0.05), pH 0.9315 (p<0.05), and Brix/acid ratio 0.9409 (p<0.05). $Brix{\times}pH^2$ and brix/acid ratio were used as indicators of the proper maturation of the grapes when the acidity was 0.53 to 0.55%, and at sugar 17 Brix. When surveyed, the quality characteristics and sensory evaluation of the wine made using the latest harvested grapes showed the most reliable sourness. The color, aroma, and overall harmony of the wine, however, were evaluated to be the best when the wine acidity was about 0.60% or when the grape acidity was below 0.55%.

The ability to accurately assess wine quality is important during the wine making process, particularly when allocating batches of wines to styles determined by consumer requirements. Grape payments are often determined by the quality category of the wine that is produced from them. Wine quality, in terms of sensory characteristics, is normally a subjective measure, performed by experienced winemakers, wine competition judges or winetasting panellists. By nature, such assessments can be biased by individual preferences and may be subject to day-to-day variation. Taste and aroma compounds are often present in concentrations below the detection limit of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy but the more abundant organic compounds offer potential for objective quality grading by this technique. Samples were drawn from one of Australia's major wine shows and from BRL Hardy's post-vintage wine quality allocation tastings. The samples were scanned in transmission mode with a FOSS NIR Systems 6500, over the wavelength range 400-2500 ㎚. Data analysis was performed with the Vision chemometrics package. With samples from the allocation tastings, the best correlations between NIR spectra and tasting data were obtained with dry red wines. These calibrations used loadings in the wavelengths related to anthocyanins, ethanol and possibly tannins. Anthocyanins are a group of compounds responsible for colour in red wines - restricting the wavelengths to those relating to anthocyanins produced calibrations of similar accuracy to those using the full wavelength range. This was particularly marked with Merlot, a variety that tends to have relatively lower anthocyanin levels than Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. For dry white wines, calibrations appeared to be more dependent on ethanol characteristics of the spectrum, implying that quality correlated with fruit maturity. The correlations between NIR spectra and sensory data obtained using the wine show samples were less significant in general. This may be related to the fact that within most classes in the show, the samples may span vintages, glowing areas and winemaking styles, even though they may be made from only one grape variety. For dry red wines, the best calibrations were obtained with a class of Pinot Noir - a variety that tends to be produced in limited areas in Australia and would represent the least matrix variation. Good correlations were obtained with a tawny port class - these wines are sweet, fortified wines, that are aged for long periods in wooden barrels. During the ageing process Maillard browning compounds are formed and the water is lost through the barrels in preference to ethanol, producing “concentrated” darkly coloured wines with high alcohol content. These calibrations indicated heaviest loadings in the water regions of the spectrum, suggesting that “concentration” of the wines was important, whilst the visible and alcohol regions of the spectrum also featured as important factors. NIR calibrations based on sensory scores will always be difficult to obtain due to variation between individual winetasters. Nevertheless, these results warrant further investigation and may provide valuable Insight into the main parameters affecting wine quality.

This study was carried out to examine the changes of the quality feature and antioxidant activity of grape by-products. This experiment was to arrange the basic data for developing a functional material using grape by-products which were useless resources. Hot-air and freeze drying were followed by the gamma irradiation of 1~20 kGy. Hunter's color value, in case of hot-air drying, showed the highest L and a value in the 3 kGy, and it decreased according to the increase of the exposure dose. In the case of fre ze drying it showed the highest L and b value at the highest exposure, 20 kGy. It was considered that the breakdown of the pigment through high temperature processing was launched and the influence according to the gamma irradiation was not shown. The gamma irradiation of 3 kGy appeared to have a good influence on the color of the grape by-products which went through hot-air drying. The contents of the total phenolic compounds, in case of hot-air drying, showed the highest total polyphenol contents in the 3 kGy irradiation and it decreased according to the increase of the exposure dose; in contrast, the higher phenolic contents showed in the irradiated group than in the control. In case of freeze drying, the highest phenolic contents appeared in the control but 3 kGy showed the highest one in the irradiated group. Results of radical scavenging activity using DPPH and ABTS indicated that 3 kGy showed the highest radical scavenging activity in hot-air and freeze drying. Therefore, it was found that gamma irradiation of 3 kGy could improve the color and antioxidant activity of grape by-products, but an antioxidant activity of grape by-product due to the gamma irradiation was a little affected in the aspects of by-product utilization.

Rapid loss of grape berry quality after harvest occurs due to poor postharvest management. Understanding physiological properties between cultivars is required to develop practical technologies to control fast quality deterioration of tables grapes. Physiological characteristics of whole cluster, rachis and berries were examined to find their effects on postharvest behaviour of table grapes. 'Tamnara' showed high respiration rate and browning of rachis compared to 'Campbell Early'. Weight loss of rachis of 'Cheongsoo' was highest of three cultivars. Berry decay in 'Cheongsoo' begins at the connection portion between peduncle and berry, and berry decay of 'Cheongsoo' was the most severe among three cultivars. Precooling at $0^{\circ}C$ showed better results than cooling at $10^{\circ}C$ regardless of cultivars but cooling effect decreased when simulated marketing period increased up to 10 days. Plastic film wrapping was effective on reducing decay in general but not at higher marketing temperature. For successful commercialization of newly developed grapes, the inhibition technology of rachis browning in 'Tamnara' is required and decay control in 'Cheongsoo' through establishment of cold chain system is recommended.

The objective of this study was to investigate quality properties of 'Cheonghyang' wine using different commercial yeast strains. Soluble solid content, pH level and total acidity of 'Cheonghyang' grape were $20^{\circ}Bx$, pH 3.5 and 0.66%, respectively. Total acidity ranged from 0.91~1.06% in the middle stage of fermentation and decreased to 0.77~0.82% when alcoholic fermentation finished. Alcohol content in wines ranged from 12.5% to 12.9% showing no significant difference in yeast strains. Wine fermented with Red Fruit had high volatile acid content (189.0 mg/L) whereas wine fermented with Fermivin indicated low volatile acid content (77.7 mg/L). Wines made with Montrachet, Fermivin and Aroma White had low brightness (L-value) compared to others. Results from sensory evaluation demonstrated that commercial wine yeasts, Montrachet and Fermivin, can be applied to improve sensory properties of 'Cheonghyang' wine such as aroma, acidity and transperency. On the other hand, preferences of wine fermented with EC-1118 strain containing lots of tannins and total polyphenols were significantly reduced.

Improvement in the utilization of grape pomace, antioxidant activities and antioxidant compounds of grape pomace was analyzed to clarify the influence of drying method such as $80^{\circ}C$ hot air and freeze ($-70^{\circ}C$) drying process. For proximate composition, crude protein and fat contents of hot air drying sample were higher than freeze drying sample. The lightness and redness values of freeze drying sample were higher than hot air drying sample, but yellowness of hot air drying sample was higher. The contents of total polyphenols and anthocyanins were higher in freeze drying sample. DPPH radical scavenging activity and ABTS scavenging activity of freeze drying sample were higher than hot air drying sample. The reducing power and FRAP value of hot air drying sample was higher than freeze drying sample. The result indicated that freeze drying method is slightly better than hot air drying method for antioxidant compounds and antioxidant activity.

Pre-Harvest Residue Limit (PHRL) of bifenthrin during cultivation of grape was established by utilizing the dissipation curve and biological half-life of bifenthrin calculated from the analysis of 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 days after treatment of bifenthrin. Grape sample was extracted and partitioned with acetonitrile and dichloromethane, respectively, and bifenthrin was determined with GC/ECD. Limit of quantitation (LOQ) of bifenthrin was 0.01 ng. Recoveries at two fortification levels of 0.1 and $0.5\;mg\;kg^{-1}$ were $104.08\;{\pm}\;1.24$ and $92.25\;{\pm}\;3.13%$, respectively. The biological half-lives of bifenthrin were about 21 days at standard application rate, while, 23 days at double application rate. Dissipation of bifenthrin on grape was not influenced by growth dilution effect. The PHRLs of bifenthrin were recommended as 0.60 and $0.55\;mg\;kg^{-1}$ for 10 and 5 days before harvest, respectively.

Ethyl acetate and butanol fractions among the serial solvent fractions of grape seed ethanol extract contained the catechin at the levels of 35.7 mg/g and 20.2 mg/g, respectively However, the POV increasing patterns of two linoleic acid samples containing each solvent fraction were so similar that the difference in antioxidant activity by the catechin content of each solvent fraction could not be found. Each solvent fraction was fractionated on C18 cartridges into three subfractions which were mono-, dimers fraction (FI), oligomers fraction (FII) and polymers fraction (FIII) to examine the effect by the difference in degree of Polymerization of proanthocyanidin. The catechin contents of ethyl acetate subfractions (E-F) were in the order of E-FI (26.0 mg/g) > E-FII (18.6 mg/g) > E-FIII (13.7 mg/g) but the three subfractions showed nearly similar antioxidant activities, by the POV measurement at 1,000 ppm concentration. Also the catechin contents of butanol subfractions (B-F) were in the order of B-FI (35.3 mg/g) > B-FII (30.8 mg/g) > B-FIII (22.7 mg/g) but similar antioxidant activities were observed in all subfractions. In this study, similar antioxidant activities of each solvent subfraction in spite of different catechin contents inform that the degree of polymerization of proanthocyanidin as well as the total catechin content should be considered in quality control of grape seed extract produced for natural antioxidant.

Physicochemical and microbiological changes of grape wine fermented and aged at 25 and $15^{\circ}C$ for 2 and 14 weeks, respectively, were investigated. Viable bacterial cell number, $3.3{\times}10^2\;CFU/mL$ at the beginning of fermentation, increased to $2.3{\times}10^6\;CFU/mL$ after 2 weeks, then decreased to $1.9{\times}10^3\;CFU/mL$ after 14 weeks. Viable yeast cell number increased from $2.8{\times}10^2\;to\;2.2{\times}10^7\;CFU/mL$ during fermentation, then decreased to $1.6{\times}10^4\;CFU/mL$ after aging. Turbidity, pH, total sugar content, reducing sugar content, and solid content of grape wine decreased during fermentation, whereas acidity and alcohol content increased to 0.64 and 8.4%, respectively. Most physicochemical properties did not change significantly during aging. When grape wine was filtered through $0.45-{\mu}m$ nitrocellulose membrane, followed by various ultrafiltration membranes with different molecular weight cut-off values, Biomax 100K membrane with $100\;L/m^2/hr$ (LMH) of initial flux was chosen for ultrafiltration process. These membrane filtration treatments resulted in complete removal of microorganisms and decreases in turbidity, reducing sugar, and solid content. Physicochemical properties of wine did not change, and no microorganisms were found during storage at $30^{\circ}C$ for 12 weeks.
