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.

Qualitative properties- polyphenol compounds(total phenolics, anthocyanin, flavonoids, tannins), color parameters and antioxidant activities- of wild grape wine having different aging periods were studied. The contents of total phenolics and anthocyanin decreased significantly in accordance with aging terms(p<0.05). The total phenolics and anthocyanin of the oldest wine(WG3) represented only 43% and 45% of it's related compound in the wine aged for one year(WG1), respectively. The contents and the degree of polymerization of tannins, including condensed tannins, also decreased but not showed statistically significant. However, The contents of flavonoids of the 2 year old wine(WG2) decreased significantly related to that of WG1, remaining, then, almost constant at that levels during aging. The L* values, b(yellow) values and the hue (hab) values were increased in long aged wines(WG2, WG3), while the intensity of color(CI) and, the a(red) parameter value decreased. The antiradical activity of wild grape wines was shown to be high(87 EDA%) in WG1. The corresponding coefficient of tannin concentrations with antiradical activity($r^2$=0.9189) suggests that the tannin content may be strongly related to the antioxidant properties of wild grape wines.

Crude polysaccharide fractions of commercially available grape wines (red wine, white wine and wild grape wine) were prepared by evaporation and ethanol precipitation to confirm and identify anti complementary polysaccharides in the wines. When these fractions were evaluated for their anti complementary activity, crude polysaccharide fractions of red wine (RW-0) and wild grape wine (WGW-0) showed higher anti-complementary activities than those of white wine (WW-0). RW-0 and WW-0 were further fractionated into RW-1, WW-1 as high-molecular fractions, and RW-2, WW-2 as low-molecular fractions through gel permeation column chromatography on Sephadex G-75. RW-1 had the most potent activity with the highest carbohydrate content (91.3%). Anti-complementary activity of red wine was higher than that of white wine, suggesting that active polysaccharides such as pectin and hemicellulose are mainly distributed in the grape skin which is removed during white wine making. In addition, high molecular fractions, RW-1 and WW-1 with high contents of carbohydrate and high yields showed higher activities than those of low molecular fractions, RW-2 and WW-2.

Cytotoxic effects of Korean rice-wine (Yakju) made with different processes and ingredients (Korean rice-wines I, II), red wine, white wine, beer, and Japanese rice-wine (Sake) were examined against human cancer lines (DLD-1, HepG2, K562) and mouse cancer lines (EMT6, LLC1). Red wine showed cytotoxic effect on all cancer lines, while Korean rice-wines I, and II showed cytotoxcity on all cancer cells except DLD-1. White wine, beer, and Japanese rice-wine had no or little cytotoxic effect against all cancer cell lines. Concentrate of Korean rice-wine only showed cytotoxic effect against DLD-1. These results suggest Korean rice-wine has strong anti-cancer effects, which are induced by certain rice-wine components.

Korean traditional rice wines yakju and takju are generally brewed with nuruk as the source of the saccharogenic enzymes by natural fermentation. To improve the quality of Korean rice wine, the microorganisms in the nuruk need to be studied. The objective of this research was to improve the quality of Korean wine with the wild-type yeast strains isolated from the fermentation starter, nuruk. Only strain YA-6 showed high activity in 20% ethanol. Precipitation of Y89-5-3 was similar to that of very flocculent yeast (>80%) at 75.95%. Using 18S rRNA sequencing, all 10 strains were identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Volatile compounds present in yakju were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass selective detector. The principal component analysis (PCA) of the volatile compounds grouped long-chain esters on the right side of the first principal component, PC1; these compounds were found in yakju that was made with strains YA-6, Y89-5-3, Y89-5-2, Y90-9, and Y89-1-1. On the other side of PC1 were short-chain esters; these compounds were found in wines that were brewed with strains Y183-2, Y268-3, Y54-3, Y98-4, and Y88-4. Overall, the results indicated that using different wild-type yeast strains in the fermentation process significantly affects the chemical characteristics of the glutinous rice wine.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of brand familiarity and brand recognition on the acceptance of 10 commercial Korean rice wines (yakju). For the consumer preference testing, 104 rice wine drinkers (males, 56; female, 48) from their 20's to 40's were recruited. Consumers first rated the preferences and purchasing intent of the samples without accompanying information about each sample. During a break, brand familiarities and demographics were surveyed. The consumers then rated the preferences and purchasing intent with information about each sample. An analysis of variance was constructed to evaluate the effect of gender, age, and samples on the liking and purchasing intent of the rice wine products. Significant differences were observed for the likings and purchasing intents among the 10 samples with and without brand information, respectively. A paired t-test was performed to evaluate the effect of brand recognition between with and without brand information. A significant effect of brand recognition was confirmed, particularly for the samples with higher levels of brand familiarity. Internal preference mapping was performed to understand the overall relationships between each consumer's liking of the 10 samples with and without brand information. Acceptance tended to shift toward more familiar products when the information was presented.

Ten major residual biogenic amines including toxic histamine and tyramine were investigated in the plant-based minor Korean fermented food. From the analyses of pickled vegetables, fermented vegetable extracts, fermented tea, black garlic and herbal rice wines, more than 100 mg/kg of histamine were found in pickled soy leaf and pickled mulberry leaf, and also over 1,000 mg/kg of total biogenic amines were found in pickled soy leaf. No sample was found over in black garlic, fermented tea, fermented vegetable extracts and herbal rice wine, less than 100 mg/kg of histamine and/or 1,000 mg/kg of total biogenic amines were observed. Interestingly, all the tested rice wines were found to be over 100 mg/kg of agmatine residue.

In this study, 100 consumers (men, 50; women, 50; age group, 20-50 years) rated their overall preferences for 24 Korean raspberry wines by using a 9-point hedonic scale. The analysis of variance was constructed to evaluate the effect of gender, age, and samples on the preference scores of the wine products. Significant differences were observed in overall preferences for the 24 samples; however, no interactions based on preferences by age and gender groups were noted. Cluster analysis was performed to determine sample clustering based on the frequencies from the preference data. Three clusters were obtained; these three clusters were well separated based on the mean overall preference scores for the samples. Discriminant analysis based on the three clusters also confirmed the same grouping of samples with 100% accuracy.
