Physico-chemical components which are closely related to processed products were investigated on 10 varieties of Cheju citrus fruits. Juice ratio of Hungjin was the highest, 49.2%, while Sankyool was the lowest, 4.2%, which showed great differences among varieties. Peel ratio of Dangyooja was the highest, 46.1%, while both Navel orange and Hungjin were relatively low. Soluble solid($^{\circ}$Brix) was relatively high In Sankyool, Meiwa Kumquat, Sambokam and Iyo. Acid content was the highest, 4.86% in sudachi and relatively high in Sankyool, Natsudaidai and Dangyooja. The $^{\circ}$Brix to acid content ratio was 13.9 in Meiwa Kumquat and more than 10 in Navel orange and Hungjin. Total sugar contents of Juice were 2.78∼10.94%, while reduced sugar contents were 1.63∼6.38% which showed higher in Meiwa Kumquat, Iyo and Navel Orange. Hesperidin and naringin, the sources of biiter taste and cloudness were low in Hungjin and Iyo. Soluble solid($^{\circ}$Brix) of citrus juice showed highest statistical relationship(r=0.907) with total sugar, and was highly significant at 1% level.

Soluble solids($^{\circ}$Brix), acid content and edible part ratio of Citrus unshiu collected at sorting Places in south Cheju area wee more lowered, and peel thickness was more thickened with increasing fruit size. Compared to early variety of Citurs unshiu(C. unshiu Miyakawa Mar), peel thickness of medium variety of Citurs unshiu(C. unshiu Hayashi Mar) was more thickened, and edible part ratio was more lowered with increasing fruit size. Soluble solids of medium variety of Citurs unshiu were lowered, and acid contents were increased compared to early variety. Processing properties for pressing concentrated juice was good for early variety of Citurs unshiu, especially on fruit diameter of 50-65mm. Soluble solids, acid contents and juice ratio were decreased with increasing peel thickness. The quality properties for fresh fruit with peel thickness had a good correlation on early variety of Citurs unshiu, and these data are supposed to be applied to the quality evaluation of Citurs unshiu produced in Cheju.

This study was conducted to investigate several indicators of fruit maturity, and expert sensory evaluation was done to determine the most appropriate maturity time for the new Korea grape cultivar 'doonuri' for high quality winemaking. The grape component changed dramatically during ripening, after veraison. Considerable drops in berry firmness (<0.60 kgf/$cm^2$) and titratable acidity (<0.66%) were found at the ripening stage while the soluble solid content significantly increased in the ripening process. Most of the organic acids contained were tartaric and malic acid. The malic acid content was about twice the tartaric acid content in the fruit-growing period but was less than the tartaric acid content in the maturity period. The total anthocyanin and polyphenol contents increased sharply after veraison. In particular, the total anthocyanin and polyphenol contents reached their maximum levels when the acidity was 0.55%, and after that, there was almost no change. Correlations between anthocyanin accumulation and several factors were found in sugar 0.7811 (p<0.05), pH 0.9315 (p<0.05), and Brix/acid ratio 0.9409 (p<0.05). $Brix{\times}pH^2$ and brix/acid ratio were used as indicators of the proper maturation of the grapes when the acidity was 0.53 to 0.55%, and at sugar 17 Brix. When surveyed, the quality characteristics and sensory evaluation of the wine made using the latest harvested grapes showed the most reliable sourness. The color, aroma, and overall harmony of the wine, however, were evaluated to be the best when the wine acidity was about 0.60% or when the grape acidity was below 0.55%.

Juice obtained from premature citrus fruits was deacidified by electrodialysis (ED), and its physicochemical and functional properties were evaluated. Total acidities decreased from 3.15 (Aug), 1.62 (Sep), and 1.45% (Oct) to 2.37 (Aug), 0.86 (Sep), and 0.74% (Oct) by electrodialysis for 100 min, respectively, whereas $^{\circ}Brix$ to acid ratio increased, and pH and color remained almost unchanged. Free sugar content of premature citrus juice remained almost unchanged, while organic acid content decreased significantly. Narirutin and hesperidin contents among flavonoids slightly, but not significantly, decreased. $K^+,\;PO_4\;^{2-},\;SO_42^-,\;and\;Cl^-$ contents decreased by ED, with $K^+$ content showing more than 60% decrease, while $Na^+$ content increased 2.5-3.5 times. Total polyphenol content and electron-donating ability decreased slightly by ED, while nitrite-scavenging ability remained almost constant. Sensory evaluation indicated juice (Sep) subjected to ED processing to $12^{\circ}Brix$ with sugar had the highest preference.

In order to produce clear and favorable citrus wine from Citrus unshiu produced in Cheju island, chemical and microbiological processes for alcoholic fermentation were investigated. The ratio of pressed juice passed below 100 mesh sieve and peel of mandarin orange were 55.9% and 25.6% respectively. Orange juice for fermentation source contained 8.85% total sugar, 1.43% total acid and 0.056% volatile acid. Pressed juice was adjusted to 24 degree Brix with cane sugar, and was fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ for one month. Starter screened and selected was Saccharomyces cerevisiae IAM 4274. As principal fermentation proceeded for one week, suspended solids began to precipitate slowly after then. After fermentation, clear citrus wine consisted of about 8 degree Brix residual sugar, $13.3{\sim}14.4%$ ethanol, $0.78{\sim}1.11%$ total acid, $0.05{\sim}0.07%$ methanol and $2.25{\sim}3.29%$ extract, was obtained. Color, flavor and taste of citrus wine found good with panel test. Citrus wine which was treated with fungal enzyme derived from Aspergillus niger CCM-4 was cleared much faster, and could be filtered more rapidly than the untreated. The enzyme-producing strain was isolated from field soil of Cheju island and identified.

Physicochemical properties and positional distribution of Hallabong Tangor (Citrus Kiyomi ${\times}$ ponkan) cultivated in heated greenhouse were investigated. About 90% of Hallabong produce fruit within the range of $250{\sim}400g$ fruit weight on a tree, larger fruits were mainly consisted of $400{\sim}450g$ in M16A, a variant species of Hallabong, due to younger tree and fruit thinning. Nevertheless fruit sizes of M16A were larger than Hallabong, and peel thickness of M16A (3.29 mm) was thinner than that of Hallabong (3.51 mm). Hardness of m6h was 994.69g-force, compared to 832.8 g-force of Hallabong on the average. Soluble solids and acid content of Hallabong were $12.20{\sim}12.98^{\circ}Brix$ and $1.08{\sim}1.14%$, while those of M16A were $1.48{\sim}12.63^{\circ}Brix$ and $0.92{\sim}1.00%$, respectively. Vitamin C content of Hallabong was $71.30{\sim}78.77 mg/100 g$, compared to $64.40{\sim}68.01mg/100g$ in M16A. Soluble solid in the part of stem was lower than that of end part among the same segment. Fruit size in the upper part of the tree was larger, the peel was thicket and flesh ratio was lower than the middle or lower part. However, soluble solids and acid content were high, due to cumulative sunshine during cultivation.

The effects on deacidification of citrus fruits produced at early harvesting season for juice products were examined by heating treatment of raw fruits and electrodialysis of juice. Weight and total acidities were decreased by heating treatment for 40 hr at $25^{\circ}C,\;30^{\circ}C,\;35^{\circ}C\;and\;40^{\circ}C$, but $^{\circ}Brix$ and pH increased Sugar to acid ratio also increased. Total acidities were decreased from 1.25 (Oct30, 2004), 1.24 (Nov.5, 2004), 0.99 (Nov.13, 2004) and 0.98% (Nov.19, 2004) to 0.48 (Oct30, 2004), 0.51 (Nov.05, 2004), 0.37 (Nov.13, 2004) and 0.42% (Nov.19, 2004) by electrodialysis for 100 min respectively, and $^{\circ}Brix$ also slightly decreased, but solid to acid ratio was increased as a result. However pH and color remained almost unchanged by electodialysis. Also, free sugar contents of citrus juice little were changed, but organic acid content were decreased fairly. Narirutin and hesperidin content among flavonoids were slightly decreased by electrodialysis, but they were not significantly different. $K^+,\;PO_4^{2-},\;SO_4^{2-}\;and\;Cl^-$ content were decreased by electrodialysis, and $K^+$ contents decreased by more than 80% However, $Na^+$ consent was increased by about 2 times. Total polyphenol contents and electron donating abilities were decreased a little by electrodialysis but nitrite scavenging abilities were little changed. By acceptability test citrus juice prepared by electrodialysis for 100 min was superior to original citrus juice.

The aim of this study was to identify the chronological growth characteristics of Gaeryangmeoru grapes, by observation of the developmental process of the axillary bud, fruit quality, and anatomical structure of the pericarp. No necrosis of axillary buds was observed, irrespective of node position of the shoot, from shoot occurrence to leaf fall. Berry weight, cluster weight, soluble solid content and titratable acidity were analyzed to be 1.2 g, 128.8 g, $16.9^{\circ}Brix$, and 1.57%, respectively, at maturity. The sugar was composed of fructose and glucose, with a ratio of 1:1 (fructose: glucose) at maturity. Malic acid was predominant among the organic acids, and conformed to the changes of chronological titratable acidity. Sugar and organic acid content changed dramatically starting a week before veraison. The degraded ovules were observed before and after fertilization, and the pericarp was composed of one epidermis, and seven to ten hypodermis layers at maturity.
