This study is to find out the antioxidative effect and serum and liver lipid composition of wild grape juice in vivo. Forty 6-week-old white Sprague Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups such as normal lipid group, normal lipid group with wild grape juice, oxidized lipid (basic diet plus 10% of oxidative lipid) group and oxidized lipid group with wild grape juice, and 2ml juice was provided everyday. After 4 weeks of feeding with experimental diet each groups were examined for the antioxidant enzyme activity in blood and liver microsome and their serum and liver lipid composition. Glutanthione peroxidase activity in blood was significantly higher in oxidized lipid group with wild grape juice than in oxidized lipid group. Glutanthione peroxidase activity showed no difference depending on wild grape juice supplementation. Glutanthione peroxidase activity in liver was significantly higher in the groups with wild grape juice than in the groups supplemented only with oxidized lipid. Glutanthione reductase activity showed no difference depending on the supplementation of wild grape juice. Serum triglyceride level in the group supplemented with oxidized lipid diet and wild grape juice showed similar value to the normal lipid group and the normal lipid group with wild grape juiceoxidized fa6. Liver total lipid in the group supplemented with oxidized lipid and wild grape juice showed similar value to the normal lipid group and the group supplemented with normal lipid and wild grape juice. And it was lower than that of oxidative lipid group without juice. The liver triglyceride level in the group supplemented with normal lipid and wild grape juice was lower than that in the oxidative lipid group, but it was as low as in the group supplemented only with normal lipid.

The purpose of this project was to evaluate whether daily fruit juice consumption could reduce the DNA damage in healthy subjects. The study was performed using 67 healthy volunteers (29 smokers, 38 nonsmokers) who were supple-mented with 480 m1 of grape juice for 8 weeks. Eight weeks of grape juice consumption did not change any anthropometric parameters. Lymphocyte DNA damage before the study was significantly greater (p<0.05) in smoker than nonsmoker, but, grape juice consumption significantly reduced DNA damage in both smoker (26%) and nonsmoker (I7%) to the level where there was no difference remained between the two groups after the intervention trial. This preventive effect of grape juice against DNA damage was not affected by sex of the subjects in non-smokers. Plasma $\alpha$-carotene, Iyco-pene and ${\gamma}$-totopherol was significantly increased after the trial in smokers, while erythrocyte catalase was significan-tly increased in both smokers and nonsmokers. Total radical-trapping antioxidant potential (TRAP) level in all subjects was significantly reduced after the intervention, while GSH-Px activity was increased only in nonsmokers. These results suggests that daily consumption of grape juice may protect DNA damage in peripheral lymphocytes, and supports the hypothesis that grape juice might exert their effect partially via a decrease in oxidative damage to DNA in humans partly by improving their antioxidative defense system.

This study was done to develop the standard recipe for nutritious cowpea starch based grape jelly. The effects of grape juice concentration (4, 8, 12%) and 0.2% calcium addition were evaluated on textural and sensory properties of grape jelly through the instrumental analysis using rheometer and sensory evaluation. Instrumental analysis showed that hardness, chewiness and gumminess of grape jelly was incerased significantly In jelly made of higher concentration of grape juice, and also in 0.2% calcium containing jelly. According to sensory evaluation, higher grape juice contains jelly showed advantages in preference of color and overall quality. Calcium addition increased sourness in sensory score. Overall, 12% grape juice and 0.2% calcium containing jelly was most preferable, which means calcium fortified cowpea starch based grape jelly was successful try for nutritious and practical food for elementary school foodservice.

Flavonoids contained in grapes are potent antioxidants that may protect against oxidative stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases related with free radical damage. In this study we investigated the effect of daily grape juice supplementation on blood pressure (BP), plasma lipid profiles and the generation of free radicals in 67 healthy volunteers (29 smoker, 38 nonsmokers). The daily 480 ml of grape juice supplementation for 8 weeks resulted in a significant decrease in diastolic BP by 6.5％ in smokers and systolic and diastolic BP by 11.2 and 3.7％ in non-smokers. Plasma total cholesterol, HDL- and LDL-cholesterollevels in smokers and total cholesterol in non-smokers were significantly increased after the intervention. Plasma triglycerides and conjugated dienes were not affected by grape juice supplementation. Levels of free radical determined by reading the lucigenin-perborate ROS generating sources, decreased significantly by 18％ compared to the beginning of the study. The results indicated that the consumption of grape juice may reduce BP and free radical generation in smokers, which was possibly exerted by flavonoids. Our findings suggested that the grape juice has protective effect on chronic disease due to the overproduction of free radical in smokers.

This study was performed to investigate the quality characteristics of Yanggeng added wild grape (Vitis amurensis) juice. The yanggeng was prepared with pesticide-free wild grape juice, agar, sugar and salt. The yanggeng was made with various levels (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 g of wild grape juice in yanggeng, respectively) based on the total weight of water. It was estimated on Hunter's color value, texture profile analysis, and sensory characteristics of the Yanggeng. As the content of wild grape juice increased, The lightness (L) and yellowness (b) decreased and redness (a) increased. In texture profile analysis, hardness was increased; however, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness decreased with increasing levels of wild grape juice. The results of the sensory evaluation indicated that the Yanggeng containing the 150 g level of wild grape juice showed the highest preference scores in terms of color, taste, texture, flavor and overall acceptance. These results show that the yanggeng containing 150 g of wild grape juice is the better.

The grape juice was found to have a good quality when grape was pressed after heating at $80^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The extraction yield of juice from grape was above 75%(v/w). The yield was lower than 60% when grape was heated below $60^{\circ}C$, although the taste was good. But when grape was overheated, for example, at $100^{\circ}C$ and pressed, the grape juice had dark brown color and showed off-flavor. The grape juice of which sugar content was above $14^{\circ}Brix$ and the ratio of sugar content to total acidity was over 20 was found to have the best quality to drink.

The acid milk containing grape juice was prepared from natural grape juice, acid milk and sugar as raw materials, and the stability of the drink was studied. The following results were obtained. 1. The milk mixed with natural grape juice formed coagulated precipitate by coupling of the colloidal materials in the juice with the milk protein and the formation of precipitate was accelerated by pasteurization. 2. The pectin in natural grape juice was affected on the stability of the product, and the stability increased with decrease in the content of pectin. When the content of pectin in natural grape juice was lower than 2.5mg%, the precipitate was not formed in the drink containing 10 to 20% of the juice. 3. The acid milk drink containing the natural grape juice treated with pectinase, not formed precipitate by pasteurization at $85^{\circ}C$, for 20 minutes and can be preserved for long term.

This study was performed to see effects of whole grape, grape pomace or grape juice intakes on lipid metabolism during aging in old Sprague-Dawely male rats. One hundred twenty rats of 13 months old Sprague-Dawely were blocked into eight groups according to body weight and raised for 3, 5 or 7 months with diets containing 2% (w/w) dried powders of three different pars of grape and 0.02% (w/w) CdCl₂. Body weights of Cd groups were lower than Cd free groups. Kidney and spleen weights were incre ased with age, and EEP weights of Cd groups were lower than those of Cd free groups. Total lipid, triglyceride and total cholesterol concentration in plasma increased with age. Whole grape, grape pomace or grape juice intake lowered plasma total lipid triglyceride and total cholesterol concentrations, and especially grape pomace lowered them markedly. Whole grape, grape pomace or grape juice intake decreased liver total lipid, triglyceride and total cholesterol concentrations and increased fecal lipid excretion. Grape diets decreased and Cd administration increased TBARS concentration in LDL fraction. In conclusion, grape diets were effective in decreasing lipid levels of liver and plasma, TBARS in LDL, and in increasing HDL cholesterol. The grape pomace was most effective among three grape parts. It is plausible that grape might be recommended for the treatment or prevention of cardiovascular disease and delaying aging. (Korean J Nutrition 35 (7): 713∼728, 2002)

To develop the processing methods of grape and increase the use of poor fruits, we researched the health drink made with them after making grape juice and vinegar. The grape heated at $80^{\circ}C$ during 30min was followed by filtration. Grape vinegar was prepared by alcohol and acetic acid fermentation of grape. Optimum initial alcohol concentration for acetic acid fermentation was 6-8%. Acetic acid fermentation of grape vinegar manufactured in onggi took 9 days and was faster than any other type of utensil. As the result of analysis of grape vinegar fermented in the various ratio of 'Campbell Early' and 'Kyoho' grape, the redness and total anthocyanin content and the score of sensory evaluation were higher in vinegar made with 100% 'Campbell Early'. The drink manufactured by adding grape vinegar was developed and adding 10% of grape vinegar to volume of grape juice and water mixture(1:1) was best in sensory evaluation. In this mixture, sugar content was $14^{\circ}$Bx.

This study investigated the antioxidant activities of wine made with aronia (Aronia melanocarpa). The ethanol concentration of the aronia wine was increased up to 7.8±0.1% on the 8th day of fermentation. Compared to other types of wine, the total amount of organic acids was highest in raspberry wine, followed by grape wine, arona wine, and aronia juice. Because, acetic, oxalic, and succinic acids were not detected in the aronia juice, but were detected in the aronia wine, it was determined that they were produced during alcohol fermentation. The polyphenol content in the aronia juice and wine was higher than in the grape wine and raspberry wine and was twice as much in the aroni wine than in the aronia juice. The flavonoid content in aronia juice and wine was higher than in commercial grape wine and raspberry wine. The DPPH radical scavenging ability was higher than 50% in the aronia wine and juice samples. ABTS radical scavenging activity was higher in aronia juice and wine than in raspberry wine and grape wine. The results of this study suggest that the development of wine with high antioxidant activity is possible if wine is made with aronia.
