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.

In this study, Red pearl (4x) and MBA (2x) were crossed Gangwon-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services in 2000 to compare the brewing characteristics of Cheonghyang, a seedless kind of grape registered in 2009, by maturity. Fruit characteristics of Cheonghyang were examined after the first racking and 300 days after fermentation during aging in manufacturing wine based on maturity categories of being immature, mature, and overmature after harvest between August 25 and 27, 2014. The soluble solid matter content did not differ between the first racking following manufacturing wine and during ripening, and the alcohol content following the first racking was 12.9% for immature ones, 13.0% for mature ones, and 12.7% for overmature ones., The alcohol content decreased by appropriately 1.3% to 1.8% during ripening. The total acidity content was 0.9% for immature ones, 0.8% for mature ones, and 0.5% for overmature ones following the first racking and showed insignificant variations during ripening of 0.8%, 0.7%, and 0.5%, respectively, with wine made from mature ones showing proper acidity. The volatile acid content following the first racking during ripening, showing insignificant variation by maturity; however, it decreased after ripening. The sensory evaluation detected differences in acidity of wine between mature and overmature grapes. There was no difference in sour taste between immature and mature grapes; however, overmature ones had low levels of sour taste. Our results showed that mature wine had the best overall preference.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of black raspberry wine, administered per os on testosterone levels in rabbits. Black raspberry wine containing 13% alcohol(v/v) was prepared from ripe fruits of Rubus coreanus fermented with Saccharomyces cervisiae. Experimental rats were divided into 2 groups(A and B) with 2 animals group: Group A received black raspberry wine. Group B received 13% concentrated alcohol('Soju') over a period of 6 weeks. all animals were monitored weekly for testosterone levels by radioimmunoassay using $^{125}I$ labeled anti-testosterone monospecific antibody. There was a significant(1.7-2.33 fold) increase in testosterone levels in Group A with a peak at 1 week post administration of black raspberry wine. There was no significant change in testosterone levels of rabbits in Group B. These data point to yet uncharacterized phytotestronegenic mechanisms of black raspberry wine that appear to be independent of ethyl alcohol. Further investigation of the mechanism of action of this fruit is warranted. These observations have potential implications for human reproductive health.

To characterize the polysaccharides which exist as soluble forms in fruit wines, crude polysaccharides were isolated from red, white, raspberry, wild grape, and pear wine, respectively. Among them, the crude polysaccharide (RW-0) in red wine showed the highest yield and considerable amounts of thiobarbituric acid (TBA)-positive materials. The pectic polysaccharide RW-2 was purified to homogeneity from RW-0 by subsequent size-exclusion chromatography using Sephadex G-75 and its structure was characterized. RW-2 consisted of 14 different monosaccharides which included rarely observed sugars in general polysaccharides, such as 2-O-methyl-fucose, 2-O-methyl-xylose, apiose (Api), 3-C-carboxy-5-deoxy-L-xylose (aceric acid, AceA), 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid (Kdo), and 3-deoxy-D-lyxo-2-heptulosaric acid (Dha). Methylation analysis indicated that RW-2 comprised at least 20 different glycosyl linkages such as 3,4-linked fucose, 2,3,4-linked rhamnose, 3'-linked apiose, and 2,3,3'-linked apiose, being characteristic in rhamnogalacturonan II (RG-II). High performance size-exclusion chromatography indicated that RW-2 mainly comprised RG-II of higher molecular weight (12,000), and that the changes of molecular weight to apparent 7,000 under less than pH 2.0 were observed. These analyses indicated that the higher molecular weight polysaccharide in RW-2 was mainly present as a RG-II dimer.

Three domestic varieties of red grapes were utilized for the fermentation of wines, including Campbell, Muscat Bailey A (MBA), and Sheridan. The grapes were treated by four different methods before fermentation, which included conventional fermentation for red wine, fermentation with skin-removed grapes, fermentation with grapes and addition of removed skins, and fermentation with grape juice. Three different grape varieties with four different treatments did not show any differences in terms of $^{\circ}Bx$ and alcohol changes during fermentation. However, the L value of the MBA wine was lower and darker than the L values of wines prepared from Campbell and Sheridan grapes. The wines prepared from grapes with the addition of removed skins were darker and had 30% higher polyphenol concentrations than those of wines made from grapes by the conventional method, regardless of the grape varieties. Sensory evaluations of dry-type wines demonstrated that quality was higher for those made from Campbell and MBA grapes with the addition of removed skins than for wines made by the conventional method. Whereas for sweet-type wines, the wine that was made from the skin-removed grapes (Sheridan) was more favorable than that made by the conventional method.

Physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of Campbell Early red wines made by traditional method were investigated. The pH values of all Campbell Early red wines were ranged 3.0~3.3 during fermentation. The acidity value of Campbell Early red wine made by traditional method was 0.4~0.9%. Sucrose and alcohol contents were 6~7 Brix and 13.2~14.4% at the end of fermentation, respectively. Campbell Early red wine had the high sensory scores for color, aroma, taste, sharpness, after taste, and overall balance. Because Campbell Early red grapes are well fermented due to the rich fermentative sugar content, Campbell Early red wines made by adding EC-1118 yeast were shown to be the most appropriate.

This study was conduced to ferment high quality wine by using Omija fruit. Dry Omija farmed and dried in the Moonkyung area was used in this study. The Omija was soaked in 10~40 folds of distilled water to extract water-soluble components and the fluid was filtered after soaking for 6 hours at $50^{\circ}C$. Strains of alcoholic yeast were isolated respectively from spoiled Omija extract. Isolated alcoholic yeasts, OM-1 and OM-2, showed a round to ellipsoidal shape and formed white or milky white colonies on a solid YM medium. Two yeasts produced 10.33~11.23% alcohol from Omija extract adjusted to $10^{\circ}Brix$ with sugar. Their abilities to ferment alcohol were higher than those of other yeast strains belonging to Saccharomyces cerevisiae such as KCTC 7296 (standard strain of Korean Biological Resources Center), Makgeolli yeast, or beer yeast. The isolates OM-1 and OM-2 showed similar abilities in alcohol fermentation. However, the wine fermented by OM-2 got a better sensory score especially with color. Growth of OM-2 was significantly accelerated by addition of a 0.1% urea and 0.02% mineral mixture. A vitamin mixture was effective for the growth only when urea was added as well.

The aim of this study was to develop the new processing method for ginseng. To investigate the efficacy of the new product (the traditional rice wine steamed-red ginseng: RWS-RGS), antioxidant and anticancer effects of RWS-RGS were examined. The DPPH radical scavenging effect of RWS-RGS extracted with ethanol was increased in dose-dependent manner Especially, A3 ($3^{rd}$ traditional rice wine steamed-red ginsengs) exhibited effective DPPH radical scavenging activity. Nitrite scavenging effect of white ginseng (W.G), red ginseng (R.G) and RWS-RGS ($A1\~A9:\;1^{st}$ traditional rice wine steamed-red $ginseng\~9^{th}$ traditional rice wine steamed-red ginseng) were $25.9{\pm}4.4\%,\;12.9{\pm}1.1\%\;and\;26.2{\pm}0.1\~56.1{\pm}0.6\%$ at pH 1.2, respectively. The antitumor effects of W.G, R.G and RWS-RGS (A9) were examined in Hep3B cancer cells. Their growth inhibition against Hep3B cancer cells showed $19.6{\pm}4.5\%,\;54.5{\pm}6.1\%,\;96.3{\pm}2.4\%$ at 5,000 ppm, respectively. These result suggest that the traditional rice wine steamed ginseng will be useful product with antioxidant and antitumor effect.

The purpose of this study is to establish how main characters' mental states are expressed through costumes and makeup by understanding and analyzing the relationship between the costumes and the makeup in the movie "Anna Karenina" and to compare the 19th century Russian costumes. The study methods are a literature review and an empirical case study. The results are as follows. First, the costumes in "Anna Karenina" are a mixture of late crinoline and early bustle style in general. However, the costumes were altered after the actress's movements and acting were considered. Regarding colors, Anna wears a lavender robe as the virtuous wife, a wine-colored robe for love and death, and a white robe for innocence, thus reflecting her mental states; through the colors, her changes of mental state are expressed. Second, the costumes of Alexei Vronsky, are similar in style and colors to those of mid-late 19th century Russian military uniforms. White, blue and black costume colors are used to describe his situations and emotional changes. Third, Alexei Karenin wears 19th century costumes of dark and achromatic colors without decorations, representing his conservative, authoritative character. However, he showshis rage with a wine and red-colored costume at the end of the movie. Fourth, regarding the makeup in the movie, Anna wears makeup of a soft pink-gold color influenced by 19th century naturalism. Male characters express their characteristics with their beards and hair styles. Vronsky's Hollywood mustaches and wavy blonde hair show his charm, and Karenin's chin curtain beard and bald head reveal his conservative character. The costumes of the three main characters in the movie are not very different from 19th century style in general, but mental states and situations are expressed through accessories, and colors maximize all of the effects. Through this research, it is illustrated that the costumes and makeup in a movie can not only express characters' emotional changes but also show the relationships between the characters in different scenes.

Koryo(918-1352) made a certain progress in her culture and agriculture except the latter part of the era when the development in social economy were retarded due to military dictatorship and Mongol invasion. Despite of these external conditions, cultivations and kinds of horticulture foods were expanded With the help Of many king's agriculture first policy and the advancement in cultivating method . Among the horticulture foods, fruits such as peach, plum, Japanese apricot, apricot, cherry, pear, persimmon, pomegranate, crab apple, Jujube, grape, Chinese quince, walnut, orange, yuzu, chestnut, ginkgo nut(silvernut), pine nut, nutmeg nut, and fiat were crowed, and vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, turnip, radish, garlic, welsh onion, gynmigit, scallion, taro, malva, cucumber, white gourd, bottle gourd, water melon, eggplant, Japanese ginger, ginger and litchi were cultivated, while semi, water shieled and bamboo sprouts were taken in natural. Fruits were taken in natural or through dry, and particularly grapes were used to make wine, Flowers of Japanese apricots, some fruit trees, and chrysanthemum were also made into wine. Certain fruits were used as medicine owing to its medicinal nature. Vegetables were used to make Kimchi or to boil soup, sometimes they were dried to be kept in storage to be used in rare season and also used as medicine Increase in kinds of horticulture foods does not have any direct relation with the reform of social economy, but the fact that so many kinds of horticulture foods were cultivated and used in Koryo era shows that they elevated people's life and dietary culture.
