In order to develop a pumpkin wine, the brewing conditions and sensory evalution of the wine were studied. The pumpkin can be made into wine by ethanol fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisae. When the mash was adjusted 15aA pumpkin and 25% sugar and fermented for 15 days, the product was highly evaluted in color, flavor and taste. Contents of the refined pumpkin wine were 80mg/ml of total sugar, 70mg/ml of reducing sugar, 2.1 of acidity and 12% of ethanol, and it's pH was 3.6.

The garlic vinegar brewed with 5% ethanol solution added 10% crushed garlic was fermented by Acetobactor aceti 3281 at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 26days. Pumpkin wine vinegar was made from acetic acid fermentation of pumpkin wine at 35$^{\circ}C$ for 26 days. Pumpkin wine vinegar was made from acetic acid fermentation of pumpkin wine at 35$^{\circ}C$ for 26days. The garlic vineger and pumkin wine vinegar contained 0.04mg/ml and 1.53mg/ml of total sugar 0.122/mg/ml and 0.406mg/ml of reducing sugar and 0.06 and 0.02% of ethanol. Specific gravity of garlic vinegar and pumkin wine vinegar was 8.53 and 8.48CFU/ml respectively. pH of garlic vinegar an pumkin vinegar was 3.06 and 3.20 respectively. Acidity of garlic vinegar and pumkin wine vinegar was 4.98 and 5.02 respectively. Sensory evaluation garlic of vinegar and pumkin wine vinegar was 2.7 and 3.9 respectively.

Pumpkin venegar was produced using autoclaved pumpkin juice by fermenting with cetobacter starter and ethanol at the ratio of 4 % and 10% to the volume of pumpkin juice, respectivley. Fermentation was carried out at 2$0^{\circ}C$ for 14 days followed by aging at 1$0^{\circ}C$ for 14 days. Flavor components of pumpkin vinegar was determined using GC/MS. Identified components, were 2 aldehydes (4.74%), 5 acohols (30.06%), 4 ketones (8.99%), 4 acids (16.39%), 5 alkanes (11.10%), 11 miscellaneous compounds (27.01%) and 9 unknown compounds (1.71%). Pumpkin vinegar showed very similar flavor characteristics to those of conventional wien vinegar and sherry wine vinegar in particular , acetioin, methyl acetate, and butanoic acid were typical volatile components of these three kinds of vinegar. Pumpkin vinegar showed possiblity to compete with European wine vinegar.

Sweet pumpkin is rich in minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and fiber, and also contains a large amount of β-carotene, which has antioxidant effects. In this study, Makgeolli containing steaming sweet pumpkin (SP) was manufactured to enhance the antioxidant activity. To prepare the Makgeolli, SP was added in amounts of 5, 10, 20, and 30% (w/w), and the chemical (pH, total acidity, alcohol), microbiological (lactic acid bacteria, yeast) properties, and antioxidant activities (DPPH, ABTS) were examined during fermentation and storage for 9 days. The pH of SP Makgeolli was 4.00-4.23 at day 1 of fermentation, and then the pH gradually decreased as fermentation progressed, showing the lowest results at day 9 (3.28-3.52). At day 1, the total acidity was significantly increased (P<0.05) as the amount of SP (0-30%; 0.09-0.55%) and the total acidity in SP Makgeolli (1.01-1.20) was also rapidly increased by 5 days of fermentation. Alcohol content was significantly increased (P<0.05) as the amount of SP (0-30%; 4.59-5.77%) increased at day 9. The counts of lactic acid bacteria and yeast in SP Makgeolli were 8.0-8.1 and 7.9-7.8.0 CFU/mL, respectively, which was higher than SP 0% at day 9. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were significantly increased (P<0.05) as the amount of SP (0-30%; 48.29-78.97% for DPPH, 62.12-86.68% for ABTS) increased at day 9. This study suggests that Makgeolli added with SP could be potentially and commercially developed due to its superior microbiological and chemical properties, including high antioxidant activities.
