Antioxidant activities of grape seeds extracted with various solvents were evaluated by measuring total phenol and flavanol contents, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) following lipid peroxidation, 2-deoxyribose degradation, SOD-like activity, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthizaoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical-scavenging ability, and electron-donating ability using 1,1-diphenyl-2-pycryl hydrazil (DPPH) method. Total phenol and flavanol contents of mixted-solvent extracts were higher than those of single-solvent extracts, with the mixing ratio of 17:3 (ethyl acetate: water) (EW) showed the highest contents. Antioxidant activities (%) of TBARS following phosphatidylcholine peroxidation were 14, 45, 45, 7, 4, 25, 21, 23, and 20% for ascorbic acid (AA), butylated hyroxytoluene (BHT), quercetin (Q), acetone extract (AT), ethyl acetate (EA) extract, methanol (MeOH) extract, 4:1 (EA) extract, 9:1 (EW)-extract, and 17:3 EW extract, respectively. Antioxidant activities for 2-deoxyribose degradation were 5, 80, 87, 78, 56, 73, 64, 60, and 75% in AA, BHT, Q, AT, EA, MeOH extract, 4:1 EW extract, 9:1 EW extract, and 17:3 EW extract, respectively. MeOH grape seed extract showed distinctly stronger electron-donating activity than other solvent extracts.

Changes in functional constituents of grape (Vitis vinifera) seeds prepared by three different heat pretreatments were determined and compared with those of non-treated grape seed. The recovery of grape seed oils was generally increased by roasting, steaming and microwave processes, although the recovery of specific constituents varied among three heat pretreatments. The recovery of MeOH extracts of the seeds increased following the roasting process, whereas that of MeOH extracts decreased gradually with steaming and microwave treatments. Levels of four catechins in grape seeds: (+)-catechin, procyanidin B$_2$, (-)-epicatechin, and (-)-epicatechin gallate, were decreased with increased roasting and steaming time, but were unaffected by microwave treatment. During the three different heat pretreatments, levels and compositions of fatty acid did not change, whereas those of phytosterol compositions decreased greatly. These results suggest that a mild heat pretreatment, controlled for temperature and time, is needed to prevent a considerable loss in the level of valuable functional components in grape seed.

Anthocyanin and origomeric proanthocyanidin (OPC) fractions showing antioxidizing activity are present in grape extracts. Grape extracts are widely used in cosmetic applications as functional ingredients. The aim of our study is to isolate the antioxidant fraction from waste of grape products. The extraction was done using soxhlet apparatus. Next, the extraction was subjected for identification of antioxidants by using HPLC. Antioxidant assay was performed by using 2,2-diphenyl-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) method. Antioxidizing activity was found to be higher in grape seed extract when compared to grape skin extract. Using the extract, a novel formula with multi lamella emulsion structure has been developed and its safety and stability were confirmed by standard protocols.

The antioxidative activity and antimutagenic activity of the ethanol extracts from pericarp and seeds of wild grape (Vitis coignetiea) were analyzed in this study. The antioxidative activity of the extracts from wild grape was determined using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) assay. The antimutagenic activity of the extracts was evaluated on Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100 by Ames test using 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4-NQO) and sodium azide as mutagens. In the antioxidative activity determination, $IC_{50}$ values of the DPPH radical scavenging activity of the extracts from pericarp and seeds were 27.16 ppm and 7.61 ppm, respectively. Additionally, ABTS radical scavenging activities of pericarp and seed extract were 99.75% and 98.87% at 200 ppm, respectively. In the antimutagenic activity determination, pericarp extract at 5 mg/plate inhibited 72.6% and 74.3% of mutagenicity of S. typhimurium TA98 induced by 4-NQO and sodium azaid, respectively. Also, the mutagenicity inhibition rates of seed extract at 5 mg/plate were 77.8% and 74.5% in S. typhimurium TA100 induced by 4-NQO and sodium azaid, respectively. These results demonstrate that the ethanol extract from wild grape has remarkable antioxidant activity and antimutagenicity.

Optimal extraction condition and free radical scavenging effect of ethanol extracts of Olympia grape (Vitis labruscana L.) seeds and skins were determined. Extraction yield of grape seeds increased with increasing extraction temperature increased, but was not affected by ethanol concentration in grape skins. Highest extraction yields obtained with 100% ethanol concentration at $78^{\circ}C$ were 36 and 49.5% in seeds and skins, respectively. Ethanol extract of grape seeds obtained at $78^{\circ}C$ showed stronger $RC_{50}\;(409.7\;{\mu}g/mL)$ than that of grape skins. Among organic solvent fractions, ethylacetate fraction obtained from ethanol extract of grape seed showed the strongest $RC_{50}\;(136.7\;{\mu}g/mL)$. Overall, ethanol extracts of grape seeds and their organic fractions showed significantly stronger free radical scavenging effect than those of skin extracts.

Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potentials of various grape extracts were evaluated. Extracts from Kyho seed, Kyho stem, and Campbell seed showed potent 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activities compared to resveratrol $(IC_{50}=16.9,\;21.5,\;21.9,\;34.6\;{\mu}g/mL,\;respectively)$, among which, antioxidant effect of Kyho seed extract were similar to that of vitamin C $(IC_{50}=12.2\;{\mu}g/mL)$. These extracts also exhibited inhibitory activities on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced prostaglandin $E_2$ production and nitrite formation in mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells at $50\;{\mu}g/mL$. Kyho stem and seed extracts showed growth inhibitory activities in human lung and colon cancer cells. These results suggest the potential roles of grape extracts as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents.

The antimicrobial and GTase(Glucosyltransferase) inhibition activity were investigated for solvent fractions of Gall-nut, variety of fork drugs and Red-grape husk water extracts. Among them, Gall-nut and Red-grape husk water extracts were selected for the powerful antimicrobial and GTase inhibition activity. The methanol fractions of Gall-nut and Red-grape husk were showed very powerful antimicrobial activity on both B. subtilis and E. coli. The MIC(Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) of gall-nut methanol fraction were 1.0mg/ml for B. subtilis and 3.0mg/ml for E. coli. Red-grape husk were 2.0mg/ml for B. subtilis and 3.0mg/ml for E. coli. The methanol fractions of Gall-nut and Red-grape husk were showed very powerful Gtase inhibition activity. The concentrations of these fractions for 80% inhibition of GTase activity were 1.08$\times$10-3mg/ml and 1.08$\times$10-2mg/ml, respectively. The principal compound for the antimicrobial and GTase inhibition activity in tese extracts seems to be polyphenol derivatives.

This study was conducted to determine optimal extraction condition and free radical scavenging effect of ethanol extracts of Campell Early grape seeds and skins at different temperatures, and of organic solvent fractionated from ethanol extracts of grape seeds and skins. The free radical scavenging effect was tested using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method and expressed as dose required for a 50% reduction of DPPH radical (RC$_{50}$). The extraction yields were increased with increasing the extraction temperature but it was not related with ethanol concentrations. The ethanol extract of grape seeds obtained at 5$0^{\circ}C$ showed the more stronger RC$_{50}$ (16.8 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL) than those of both 3$0^{\circ}C$ and 78$^{\circ}C$. The ethylacetate fraction obtained from ethanol extract of grape seed showed the strongest RC$_{50}$ (15.4 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL). Overall, both ethanol extracts and their fractions of grape seeds showed significantly stronger free radical scavenging effect than those of skin extracts.racts.

Grape pomace is an abundant source of underutilized winery by-products. Polyphenols were extracted from grape pomace using cellulase and gluco-amylase enzymes. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and Folin-Ciocalteu's assays were used to measure antioxidant activity and total polyphenolic contents. Both cellulase, and gluco-amylase digested grape pomace showed efficient radical scavenging activity. In addition, the total polyphenolic contents of cellulase digested grape pomace showed lower concentrations were effective compared to higher concentrations, whereas glucoamylase enzyme did not show remarkable variations. The DPPH radical scavenging activity and total polyphenolic contents were significantly higher in the cellulase digested grape pomace compared to the gluco-amylase digested and the not digested grape pomace. It is notable that enzymatic digestions were efficient for extracting polyphenols from grape pomace. The underutilized grape pomace polyphenols can be further used for food safety as a natural antioxidant.

It was investigated whether culture filtrates produced by X. fastiduosa could be used to determine varietal susceptibility in grape cultivars to anthracnose as a substitute for pathogen inoculation or field screening. Bioassay of grape leaves with culture filtrates showed that their phytotoxicities were active and host-selective. Ethyl acetate extracts from those also showed the toxicities and host selectivity among grape cultivars. The sensitive range of plants to culture filtrates and their ethyl acetate extracts was consistent with the host range to the pathogen. Susceptible cultivars were sensitive to even highly diluted culture filtrates but resistant cultivars were not affected even at original culture filtrates. Susceptible cultivars were sensitive to the undiluted culture filtrates than highly diluted culture filtrates and the younger leaves were the more sensitive to the culture filtrates and their ethyl acetate extracts in grapes.
