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.

PURPOSE. Beverages may affect the translucency of esthetic dental restorative materials.The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of coffee and red wine on the translucency of a PICN material with two translucency levels, and finished with different methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS. 2M2 high translucent and translucent VITA Enamic hybrid ceramic blocks were investigated. Rectangular specimens with the dimensions of $12mm{\times}14mm{\times}2mm$ were prepared. The specimens were finished and polished with different methods as suggested by the manufacturer. The translucency parameters of the specimens were evaluated before and after 24 hours, 7 days, and 28 days immersion in distilled water, coffee and red wine. Translucency parameters were measured using a portable spectrophotometer. RESULTS. At the end of 28 days, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups of specimens kept in coffee (P>.05). In the red wine groups, there was a statistically significant difference between the control group and all other groups (P<.05) at the end of 28 days. CONCLUSION. The translucency of hybrid ceramic for a restoration may not be important regarding the effects of coffee on translucency change because the specimens with different translucencies and finishing methods that were immersed to coffee had similar translucency parameters at the end of 28 days. The translucency of hybrid ceramic may be important in the case of red wine, however, since the results showed that highly translucent specimens exposed to red wine demonstrated better translucency parameters than specimens made from translucent blocks at the end of 28 days.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of adding a dual starter on the chemical and sensory characteristics of red wine made of Campbell Early grape. The yeast starter, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) starter, Oenococcus oeni, were used for inoculation in the winemaking process for alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation (MLF), respectively. After 200 days of incubation, the chemical compositions of yeast/LAB-added wine (YL-wine) were compared with those of no-starter-added wine (control) and yeast-added wine (Y-wine). The results show that no significant differences were observed in pH, total sugar, and alcohol content among the wine samples, but the malic acid content in YL-wine was significantly reduced, and various esters and higher alcohols were synthesized. The sensory test revealed that the addition of dual starters resulted in improved overall acceptability in wine. This study emphasizes the importance of O. oeni in addition to yeast in making Campbell Early wine.

In order to study the quality of uncooked-colored wine by using polished black rice(PBR) and glucoamylase, the mixture ration of PBR ws investigated. The growths of yeast and lactic acid bacteria, pH and alcohol concentration of the colored wine prepared by adding PBR in the range of 20 to 100% were higher than those of polished rice only, whereas the contents of residual sugars, total free amino acids and fusel oil of the colored wine were lower. The colored wine prepared by 20% PBR and that of over 80% PBR showed a light red color and a dark red, respectively. The optimal addition ratios of PBR evaluated by palatability of color and flavor, and sensory overall quality was 40 to 60%.

In wine making, to perform yeast culture effectively, which is the most important factor, 5 strains of representative active dry yeasts were selected : Montrachet, Pasteur Champagne, Epernay II, Prise do Mousse, Lalvin W15. The results about fermentation properties were as follows. After 1 day of fermentation, the ethanol contents of Lalvin W15 wine and Montrachet wine were 5.4% and 4.0%. After 2 days of fermentation, the ethanol content of Lalvin W15 wine was 9.2%, which is the highest degree among all experimental groups. As for the content of sugar solution, the wine fermented by Lalvin W15 was the highest one. In acidic solution, fermentation activity of Prise de Mousse, Lalvin W15, Montrachet were highest degrees and Red wine fermentation activity of Prise de Mousse has shown the highest degree in its fermentation activity, if only initial SO$_2$ amounts were 200 ppm. In regard to the foaming tendency during fermentation, the size of foams in Montrachet was big and the amount of foams was a lot. The change in Brix during the fermentation became evident after two days. The Brix of Montrachet wine and Lalvin W15 wine was 3.0, a high initial fermentation speed. After 10 days of fermentation, total acidity of Lalvin W15 wine was 0.99g/100m1, the highest degree. After 3 days of fermentation, the ethanol content of Lalvin W15 wine was 7.4%, the highest degree. But after 9 days of fermentation Epernay II showed the higher ethanol concentration to 13.8%.

Our purpose in this study is to analyze the microstructural characteristics and constituent elements of inorganic substances added to the yellow ink and red ink pigments used in permanent makeup. We observed the microstructural properties of inorganic pigments added to the ink using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and analyzed the constituent elements of the inorganic pigment particles using an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). In red wine-colored ink, cubic titanium dioxide with a diameter of 110 to 200 nm was the major component, and rod-shaped iron oxide was rarely observed. Most of the ingredients of taupe yellow ink were rod-shaped yellow iron oxide, and a small amount of cubic titanium dioxide was observed. Red wine-colored ink and taupe yellow ink contained lumps composed of titanium dioxide particles. In red wine-colored ink, lumps were formed by agglomeration. However, we observed that the surface of the lump composed of titanium dioxide in the taupe yellow ink had a smooth surface caused by external physical compression. The titanium dioxide particle mass which found in taupe yellow ink in this study is an artificial product. When this mass accumulates in the dermis, it may cause a color mismatch. Therefore, permanent makeup using fine pigments should be free of foreign substances that may cause trouble in the skin. In addition, there is a need to improve the quality of the ink so that the required color can be safe and long lasting in the dermis.

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.

During the recent years, wine analysis has played an increasing role due the health benefits of phenolic ingredients in red wine [1]. On the other hand there is the need to be able to distinguish between different wine varieties. Consumers want to know if a wine is an adulterated one or if it is based on the pure grape. Producers need to certificate their wines in order to ensure compliance with legal regulations. Up to now, the attempts to investigate the origin of wines were based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC) and pyrolysis mass spectrometry (PMS) [l,2,3]. These methods need sample pretreatment, long analysis times and therefore lack of high sample throughput. In contradiction to these techniques using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), no sample pretreatment is necessary and the analysis time for one sample is only about 10 seconds. Hence, a near infrared spectroscopic method is presented that allows a fast classification of wine varieties in bottled red wines. For this, the spectra of 50 bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon, Lagrein and Sangiovese (Chianti) were recorded without any sample pretreatment over a wavelength range from 1000 to 2500 nm with a resolution of 12 cm$\^$-1/. 10 scans were used for an average spectrum. In order to yield best reproducibility, wines were thermostated at 23$^{\circ}C$ and a optical layer thickness of 3 mm was used. All recorded spectra were partitioned into a calibration and validation set (70% and 30%). Finally, a 3d scatter plot of the different investigated varieties allowed to distinguish between Cabernet Sauvignon, Lagrein and Sangiovese (Chianti). Considering the short analysis times this NRS-method will be an interesting tool for the quality control of wine verification and also for experienced sommeliers.
