In this study, we attempted to compare the maceration processes in the white wine made of Muscat of Alexandria grape having different the fermentation· maceration periods. These wine were sampled and analyzed by fermentation periods. The pH of wines ranged from 3.25 to 3.27 and the total acidity of wines ranged from 0.85~0.91% (w/v) on the 12th day of fermentation period. The ethanol concentration in these wines increased during the alcoholic fermentation period, on the other hand, the soluble solid concentrations (°Brix) decreased. The b value (yellowness) of Muscat of Alexandria wine was the highest at 8.31 in C treatment, which is a wine with a long maceration period, and B (7.19) and A (5.27) were significantly decreased as the maceration period was shorter. The total polyphenol and tannin content of wine increased with the period of maceration. Total polyphenol and tannin contents had the highest values (64.20 and 67.11 mg%, respectively) in the C treatment, which is a wine with a long maceration period on the 12th day of fermentation period. The physiological activities of Alexandria wine were highest level in the treatment with a long maceration period. As a result, this study provides useful scientific information that quality characteristics and physiological activities in white wine.

Kadainou R-1, an interspecific hybrid grape derived from red (Vitis ficifolia var. ganebu) and white (V. vinifera cv. Muscat of Alexandria) grapes, accumulates high concentrations of anthocyanin in the berry skin. Hence, the expression of uridine 50 -diphosphate (UDP)-glucose:flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase (UFGT), the key enzyme of the anthocyanin pathway, was examined in the berry skin of Kadainou R-1. As information on gene sequences of V. ficifolia var. ganebu and other wild grape species was unavailable, we performed GeneChip hybridization using biotin-labeled genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to investigate how the genomic sequences of V. vinifera varieties and that of V. ficifolia var. ganebu differ. The study showed a lower correlation coefficient between V. vinifera cultivars and V. ficifolia var. ganebu than that among V. vinifera cultivars. The sequences of the UFGT gene derived from both parents of the red and white cultivars were sequenced in Kadainou R1 and revealed that both were expressed irrespective of the fact that it was not expressed in the white grape (male parent).

The resveratrol contents in grapes showed a great variation according to the cultivars. In spite of it, a high resveratrol content in fruit was found generally in cultivars of Shigyoku, Pione, Muscat of Alexandria (black colored cultivars) and Muscatel Ruso, Gold Finger, Niunai (green colored cultivars). But in case included fruit stem and rachis, some cultivars, i.e. Shigyoku, Muscat of Alexandria and Baby Finger, showed relatively higher resveratrol content, and these cultivars could be advantageous for cultivation without chemical fungicide, because resveratrol was known as a phytoalexin. While resveratrol was not detected in fruit flesh, fruit stem and rachis contained considerably high content of resveratrol; that shows resveratrol may be synthesized in these parts.

The experiment was conducted to know the effect of plant growth regulators on axillary bud elongation from in vitro stem cutting and the possibility of virus-free stock production. Axillary buds were well elongated in 3/4 strength MS medium supplemented with 0.1 or 0.5 mg/1 BA and 0.05 mg/1 NAA. Transferred plantlets could be established well in vermiculite and peat moss mixture (3:1, v/v) compare to other mixtures. In virus indexing, all the varieties of mother plants were infected by GLRV Ⅲ. Infected percentages of the three varieties were ranged from 30% to 75%. But negative response was revealed against the other species of virus, GLRV Ⅰ, GFLV and ArMV. Plantlet of 'Schuyler' and 'Muscat of Alexandria', which were cultured in vitro, showed positive response against GLRV Ⅲ and infected percentage of the former was 37.5% but the latter, 12.5%. On the other hand, that of 'Campbell Early' negativiely responded against all the species of virus indexed.

The aim of this study was to analyze the antioxidant properties of different cultivars of grape skin extract in an in vitro system. The extracts were prepared from eight grape cultivars: 'Campbell Early' (CE), 'Kyoho' (K), 'New Kyoho' (NK), 'Muscat of Alexandria' (MOA), 'Seibel' (S), 'Morgen Schow' (MS), 'Gold Finger' (GF), and 'Meru' (M). The total phenolic acid contents were highest in MS and K. Resveratrol content was high in NK (50.88 mg/l g of coat), and quercetin content was significantly higher in K (0.68 mg/l g of coat) than in the other grape species (0.21-0.44 mg/l g of coat). The K and MS grape species, in which total phenol content was comparatively high (K: $24.15\;{\mu}g/mL$, MS: $25.52\;{\mu}g/mL$), also showed a high level of electron donating activity (K, 53%; MS, 59%). The hydrogen radical scavenging activity of M (50.36%) was significantly higher than the other grape species, including the S (50.21%), MS (49.43%), and K (49.06%) cultivars. Antioxidant activity varied depending on grape species, but overall it was highest in the MS and K cultivars.

This study was carried out to investigate the damage patterns, the occurrence and migration time of Pseudococcus comstocki and in order to improve the control effect of organic agricultural materials (OAMs). The experiment was carried out at Okcheon's organic vineyard ($2,500m^2$, sandy loam, manure) where planted 8~9 year old 'Muscat of Alexandria' vines. The comstock mealybug's migration to grape clusters occurred from the middle of July, and produced eggs in the grape clusters from the end of July, and the density of the comstock mealybug was highest at $0.6cm^2$ in late August. The number and fruit damage of comstock mealybug in eco-friendly vineyards were higher than in conventional culture vineyard. And the marketability of green variety grape was more damaged from comstock mealybug than the black variety grape. Toxicities of 8 OAMs were evaluated to comstock mealybug at the recommended concentration. As a results, Lightyellow sophora and Derris extracts exhibited strong insecticidal activity with 100% mortality. When the Lightyellow sophora extract was uniformly distributed on the vine from early-July to mid-July, fruit damage reduction rate was 96.2% and 84.6%, respectively. So commercial grapes could be harvested. Therefore, it was considered to be effective to reduce fruit damage by controlling in early - late July (the green stage) when the comstock mealybug migrated to grape clusters in the vine greenhouse. In the future, it will be necessary to study the effect of external exposure time and momentum on the control of OAMs.

This study was carried out to evaluate the quality characteristics of Korean domestic commercial white wines. Four sample wines were analyzed in terms of their pH, total acidity, volatile acidity, alcohol content, soluble solid, free $SO_2$, total $SO_2$, color, free sugar content, organic acid, volatile compounds, total polyphenol content, DPPH radical scavenging activity and sensory characteristics. The pH of wines ranged from 3.06 to 3.76 and their total acidity from 0.43 to 0.83% (v/v). The alcohol content of samples ranged from 9.4 to 12.8% (v/v) and their soluble solid contents from 9.9 to $12.3^{\circ}Brix$. The free $SO_2$ and total $SO_2$ contents of the W1 wine were lower than those of the other wines, while the color intensity, a (redness) and b (yellowness) of W1 wine were higher than the values of the other wines. The malic acid contents of the four wines indicated that complete malolactic fermentation (MLF) occurred in W1, incomplete MLF in W3, and was absent in W2 and W4. Aroma analysis resulted in identification of 10 alcohols, 11 esters, 2 ketones and 6 miscellaneous compounds. 2,3-Epoxybutane and 1-(ethenyloxy)-pentane levels in were significantly higher W1 than the other wines, while several types of ester predominated in W2, W3 and W4. W1 had the lowest sensory score among the four wines. Therefore, the quality characteristics of domestic white wines are considered to be acceptable.
