For the development of Moru wine with enhanced sensory qualities, Moru (Vitis amurensis) wines were fermented with pine needles from Pinus densiflora Siebold et Zuccarini to make Moru-pine wine or medicinal herbs from Astragali Radix and Viscum album to make Moru-herb wine. Moru without pine needles or medicinal herbs was included as a control. Pine needles and Astragali Radix/Viscum album delayed the fermentation of Moru wine, but after 40 days of fermentation and aging, final ethanol contents, pH, acidity, and the sugar/organic acid content in these kinds of Moru wines had no differences. The final ethanol level and acidity of Moru wines were 11.5~12.9% and 1.1~1.2%, respectively, but any sugars (glucose, fructose and sucrose) were not detected in all Moru wines. These results are consistent with the general characteristics of Moru wines, which have a high acidity and low sugar contents. Relatively low browness and antocyanins were detected in Moru-herb wine decreasing its chromaticity in a sensory test. Overall, the supplements of Astragali Radix/Viscum album reduced the color of normal Moru wine, which might be applied toward the development of conventional Moru wines.

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.

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the possibility of wine-making with Elderberry cultivated in Korea. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. The Elderberry fruits were composed of 82.8% moisture, 0.82% crude fat, 3.73% crude protein and 0.83% crude ash. 2. The Elderberry juices were composed of 9.2% sugar, 0.62% total acidity (as tartaric acid), pH 4. 46 and the percentage juice extraction ratio from fruits was 61.4%. 3. In fermentation experiments carried out with two strains, Saccharomyces cerevisiae ellipsoideus showed better characteristics for wine-making than Saccharomyces cerevisiae montrachet. 4. In fermentation experiments carried out with Saccharomyces cerevisiae ellipsoideus under different storage conditions, frozen fruits showed better characteristics for wine-making than dried fruits. 5. In fermentation experiments carried out with Saccharomyces cerevisiae ellipsoideus under different pressing times, red wine and pink wine showed little difference. 6. The results of organic acid contents determined by gas chromatography showed that citric acid was the main acid for frozen fruit, and lactic acid for both dried fruit and wines. 7. Sensory evaluation showed that the wine pressed at the 3rd day had the best palatability but the wine fermented with the dried fruits had the worst among the tested.

Ethanol production by the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of low-value rice wine cake (RWC) without cooking was investigated. RWC is the filtered solid waste of fermented rice wine mash and contains 53% raw starch. For the SSF, the RWC slurry was mixed with the raw-starch-digesting enzyme of Rhizopus sp. and yeast, where the yeast strain was selected from 300 strains and identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae KV25. The highest efficiency (94%) of ethanol production was achieved when the uncooked RWC slurry contained 23.03% starch. The optimal SSF conditions were determined as 1.125 units of the raw-starch-digesting enzyme per gram of RWC, a fermentation temperature of $30^{\circ}C$, slurry pH of 4.5, 36-h-old seeding culture, initial yeast cell number of $2{\times}10^7$ per ml of slurry, 17 mM of urea as the nitrogen additive, 0.25 mM of $Cu^{2+}$ as the metal ion additive, and a fermentation time of 90 h. Under these optimal conditions, the ethanol production resulting from the SSF of the uncooked RWC slurry was improved to 16.8% (v/v) from 15.1% (v/v) of pre-optimization.

Sogokju, an old Korean rice wine, was brewed in laboratory scale in February, 1978, and the changes in chemical component and microorganisms in wine mash were investigated during brewing. In the course of first-mash brewing, lactic acid bacteria became the most predominant microflora in 3 days of fermentation lowering the pH of mash to 4.2. But at 7 days, the most predominant microorganism was changed from lactic acid bacteria to least, pH reached 3.6, and the saccharogenic activity of mash was reduced from initial 10 to 3.6. During second-mash brewing, remarkable changes did not occurred in pH and acidity, maintaining 3.5∼3.7 of pH and 8.0∼8.8 of acidity. Ethanol fermentation was proceeded vigorously until 20 days of fermentation, but it reached stationary state with 18.5% ethanol after 40 days, leaving reducing sugar unfermented in mash. Even if saccharogenic activity continued all during fermentation, it was thought to be too weak. The final product of Sogokju filterate, fermented for 60 day, contained 18.8% ethanol, 5.0% reducing sugar,0.4:1 total acid, 0.057% volatile acid, 0.206% amino acid and 7.3% extract. In sensory test, Sogokju scored good marks with similar level to commercial Bupju or Chungju. It had pale yellow color, gentle Nuluk-flavor and acid taste just a little strong.

Fermentation characteristics of rice-grape wine with different mixing ratios of rice and grape, rice one vs. grape five (Exp.1), rice two vs. grape five (Exp.2), rice five vs. grape five (Exp.3), and rice five and grape two (Exp.4), were investigated. Final alcohol contents of Exp.4, Exp.3, Exp.2, and Exp.1 were 18.4, 16.0, 14.9, and 12.9%, respectively. Final alcohol content increased with increasing amount of rice. Acidity of four experiments ranged pH 3.4-3.92, and total acidity was 0.52-0.74%. Exp.4, Exp.3, Exp.2, and Exp.1 gave a values of 8.76, 12.77, 12.88, and 23.96, respectively. When different mixing methods were applied to Exp.1, the resulting final alcohol contents of Exp.6 (grape musts periodically added after rice fermentation), Exp.7 (rice and grape simultaneously added and fermented), and Exp.8 (rice added after grape must fermentation) were 2.3-3.2% Bower than that of Exp.1 (grape must added after rice fermentation), and total acidity was 0.72-0.74%. Sensory evaluation comparing conventional red wine and rice-grape wine of Exp.1 showed rice-grape wine was preferred in taste.

Citrus juice, a concentrate manufactured by the Jeju Provincial Corporation, was converted into vinegar orderly by alcohol and acetate fermentation. The juice with 6 folds dilution by distilled water was used as the sole nutrient source through out experiments. Diluted juice contained $12.96^{\circ}Brix$ of total sugar, $0.632\%$ of total acid and $20.23{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of hesperidin. Naringin was not detected from the juice. Citrus wine having $5.6\~6.3\%$ alcohol was produced from diluted juice by 3 days of fermentation at $28^{\circ}C$. A kind of malomelo yeast CMY-28 was used for wine fermentation. The wine was succeedingly fermented for 8 days at $30^{\circ}C$ after inoculation of seed vinegar which contained active cells of acid producing bacteria CV1. Inoculum size of seed vinegar was controlled to $10\%$(v/v) of citrus wine. The wine converted into vinegar by the fermentation. Citrus vinegar, the final product of fermentation, was colored with very thin radish-yellow and transparent. It's acidity ranged between $5.8\~6.2\%$ as acetic acid. The vinegar got the best score by sensory test among several natural fruit vinegars. It was clear from the results that citrus vinegar in high quality could be produced from concentrated citrus juice, however fermentation conditions should be improved to reduce the amount of reducing alcohol.

Kiwifruit wine was prepared with the domestic new cultivars 'Jecy Sweet' and 'Jecy Gold', and quality characteristics were investigated during fermentation with Saccharomyces bayanus Lalvin and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Fermivin and aging for 120 days at $15^{\circ}C$. Total acidities were 0.94% and 1.22% for 'Jecy Sweet' and 'Jecy Gold' at the beginning, respectively, and increased gradually during fermentation; highest acidities were 1.49% and 1.26%, respectively, on the 6th day of fermentation regardless of yeast strain. Alcohol content increased greatly from the 4th day of fermentation and was highest (10.2%) in 'Jecy Sweet' fermented by S. bayanus Lalvin, followed by 9.2% in 'Jecy Sweet' fermented by S. cerevisiae Fermivin and 9.4% in 'Jecy Gold' fermented by Lalvin and Fermivin on the 12th day of fermentation. Soluble solid content was $24.8^{\circ}Brix$ at the beginning and decreased gradually during fermentation. The lowest soluble solid content was $9.7^{\circ}Brix$ on the 6th day of fermentation regardless of kiwifruit cultivar and yeast strain. Total phenols in 'Jecy Sweet' (1,127 mg/L) were 1.32-fold higher than those in 'Jecy Gold' (848 mg/L) and decreased greatly until the 6th day of fermentation, after which they increased slightly until the 12th day of fermentation. During aging, total phenols increased until the 30th day and were maintained for 120 days. Quality characteristics of kiwifruit wines were similar between the two yeast strains but were different between kiwifruit cultivars. Contents of ethanol and total phenolics were higher in 'Jecy Sweet' wine than in 'Jecy Sweet' wine.

In order to investigate the possibility of wine-making with the grape variety cultivating in Korea, the basic analysises were carried out; analysis of the grape maturity during ripening period, the composition of grape juice, and the chemical components of wine from different varieties. Also the yeasts existing naturally on the grape were isolated and identified. For the selection of strain, the characteristics of 6 strains were studied. The results obtained were summarized as follows. 1. The reducing sugar content increased considerably during two weeks after the ordinary grape-gathering period. 2. The sugar content was highest in Muscat bailey A, which could be fermented naturally. The other varieties, Campbell Early, Steuben, and Alden needed chaptalisation for wine-making. 3. The permanaganate number and the methanol content of wine from all varieties were lower than french wine. 4. The sensory evaluation of wine showed that the pink wine was appreciated better than the red wine of same variety and the foxy taste of wine from hybrid grape influenced little to Korean. 5. The selected 6 strains were identified as Saccharomyces chevaliers, Saccharomyces capensis and Saccharomyces globosus. The strain No. 3 and No. 4 showed the most excellent characters for wine-making.

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%.
