Resveratrol is natually occurring phytoalexin compounds produced by grape berries, peanuts, and their products in response to stress such as fungal infection, heavy metal ions or UV irradiation. The objective of this study was to develop a reliable high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the quantitative determination of trans-resveratrol in grape and its products. The trans-resveratrol was separated isocratically on Nucleosil 100-5 C18 column, using a mobile phase containing acetonitrile : water (40 : 60, v/v), detected by UV detector at 306 nm and the flow rate was 0.3 mL/min. Under this analytical condition, the recoveries of trans-resveratrol in grape, wine, and grape juice were 92.35, 104.72, and 91.08, respectively. Limit of detection in grape, wine, and grape juice were 14.5 ng/g, 3.62 ng/mL, and 4.02 ng/mL. Also, limit of quantitation in grape, wine, and grape juice were 14.8 ng/g, 3.69 ng/mL, and 4.10 ng/mL. Assay values of 32 grape varieties, 9 wines, and 9 grape juices were ranged from trace amount to $207.1\;{\mu}g/100\;g$, from 5.4 to $275.7\;{\mu}g/L$, and from 63.3 to $751.6\;{\mu}g/L$, respectively.

In order to prevent wine quality deterioration caused by strong sour taste from raw and other materials during fermentation of wild grape wine, the various mixed cultures conditions of the deacidification fermentation and the alcohol fermentation process by inoculation of mixed strains were investigated. As a result of mixed cultures process after the inoculation of Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Schizosaccharomyces japonicus with each deacidification fermentation strain in a culture of Saccharomyces sp. SMR-3 which was used in the alcohol fermentation strain of wild grape, cultures for 12 days at $22^{\circ}C$ with Saccharomyces sp. SMR-3 and Schizosaccharomyces pombe resulted in the maximum alcohol content at $15.8{\pm}0.2%$ and the minimum with the acidity of $0.44{\pm}0.02%$, the total organic acid of $648.96{\pm}7.14$ mg% and malic acid of $99.30{\pm}1.24$ mg%. Mixed cultures with Saccharomyces sp. SMR-3 and Schizosaccharomyces pombe under the optimal condition for the deacidification fermentation of wild grape wine showed 2% higher alcohol content, 51.65% lower acidity, 48.02% lower total organic acid, and 81.12% lower malic acid than a single culture of Saccharomyces sp. SMR-3.

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.

By using whole cells of Leuconostoc oenos ML-34 immobilized in polyacrylamide gel, deacidification of grape juice and wine was attempted. The immobilization did not destroy the original malo-lactic fermentation ability of the cells. However, the speed of malic acid decomposition by the immobilized cells was slow due to the slow transportation of the substrate through the gel layer. By reducing malic acid content in grape juice to a desired degree one may control the level of acid taste in wine fermented with the treated grape juice.

Cryoextraction (a freeze concentration using an instrument) can increase the sugar concentration in grape juice by reducing its water content, similar to the natural freezing of grapes for natural ice wine. In this study, fermentation of freeze-concentrated Campbell Early grape (Vitis labruscana) juice to 36 $^{\circ}Bx$ was carried out using Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains D8 and S13 isolated from Korean grapes. During the fermentation, strains S13 and D8 showed rapid sugar reduction and alcohol production compared with S. cerevisiae Fermivin$^{(R)}$ used as a control. After nine-day fermentation, the residual sugar contents were lower in W13(9.77%) and D8 wine(9.07) than that in Fermivin$^{(R)}$ wine(14.0%). Total acid content was high in the D8>S13>Fermivin$^{(R)}$ wine, in that order. The acetaldehyde content was highest in the D8 wine and lowest in the Fermivin$^{(R)}$ wine, among the three. The methanol content was slightly higher in the S13 and D8 wines than in the Fermivin$^{(R)}$ wine. In the sensory evaluation, the S13 wine exhibited the highest score in flavor and taste among the three wines. Both the two S13 and D8 wines exhibited higher scores than Fermivin$^{(R)}$ wine in overall preference.

Muscat Bailey A grapes, one of the major grape varieties in Korea, contain 18-20% (w/w) sugars, which is less than the amount required to make red wine. In the present study, fermentation of freeze-concentrated Muscat Bailey A grape juice to $24^{\circ}Brix$ was performed using several industrial wine yeasts, including Saccharomyces cerevisiae $OC_2$, S. cerevisiae Fermivin and S. cerevisiae W-3. During fermentation, changes in the levels of soluble solids, alcohols, and yeast viable counts were monitored. Wine quality parameters including organic acid, minor alcohol, sensory score, etc. were also analyzed. Alcohol contents reached maximal levels after 9 days of fermentation, and were 12.6% (v/v) when Fermivin was used and 13% (v/v) when strains $OC_2$ and W-3 were used. No major difference between strains was apparent, except that Fermivin fermentation was somewhat slower in terms of both alcohol production and sugar consumption. Similar levels of soluble solids and total phenols were measured in wines fermented by each of the three strains. The total acid level of W-3 wine was high, whereas the alcohol content of Fermivin wine was low. Although the wines were variable in terms of acetaldehyde and minor alcohol contents, the levels of these materials were much lower than the limits set by the Korean National Tax Service. Upon sensory evaluation, $OC_2$ wine obtained the highest scores in terms of color, flavor, and overall acceptance. However, the best taste score was awarded to the Fermivin wine, which had the same flavor score as $OC_2$ wine but a slightly lower overall acceptance score.

Trans-resveratrol, quercetin, and epicatechin are natural polyphenolic substances with a wide range of biological activities, including anti-oxidant and anti-cancer properties. The compositions and levels of these chemicals were determined in grape (Vitis vinifera) juice and wine of different geographic origins. Significant differences in Hunter color values, pH, total acidity, and ethanol and free sugar contents, were found depending on both the nature and country of processing. Overall, trans-resveratrol and quercetin levels in wines were higher than in juices, indicating that wine is a rich source of these chemicals. Significant differences in the content and composition of epicatechin were found to depend on processing procedures, country of origin, and cultivar. This information may be useful to grape breeders and manufacturers of wine or juice.

The objective of this study was to improve the quality of black raspberry wine added with wild grape, based on selection of yeast strains and fermentation conditions. The Y1 yeast(Lalvin 71B) indicated significantly higher lactic acid, ester, fusel oil content after fermented mashing than other samples tested and had an effect on the reduction of acidity and enhanced aroma of black raspberry wine. In addition, the high fermentation temperature($25^{\circ}C$) using Y1 yeast showed much higher tendency to retain components of aroma (ethyl acetate, higher alcohols) and the highest overall preference including sensory evaluation than that of low fermentation temperture($15^{\circ}C$). Thus, the fermentation using Y1 yeast at $25^{\circ}C$ can be applied to positively improve the taste and flavor of production of black raspberry wine added wild grape.

This study investigated the phenolic compounds of must and wine supplemented with different concentrations (0% (no added stems), 1%, 2%, 3%, and 5%) of fruit stems during winemaking using Muscat Bailey A (MBA) grapes. The red color, and total anthocyanin, total polyphenol, and tannin contents of the must and wine significantly (p<0.05) increased with increasing added amounts of grape fruit stems, while the volatile acid content decreased with increasing added amounts of grape fruit stems. Catechin (8.16~23.08 mg/L), gallic acid (2.32~3.28 mg/L), trans-resveratrol (1.38~3.27 mg/L), and ferulic acid (1.51~1.59 mg/L) were detected in the must and wine via HPLC. The bioactive substance contents increased with increasing added amounts of grape fruit stems, except for ferulic acid. The DPPH $IC_{50}$ activity was higher in the wine (12 mg/L) with 5% grape fruit stems than in ascorbic acid (67 mg/L). These results suggest that the fruit stems of MBA grapes can be used as functional materials for winemaking.
