  Concord Grape Juice
Concord grape juice widely used by American Jews for making Kiddush on Shabbat has been found by researchers in Texas to be a powerful, heart-protective and anti-cancer antioxidant that compares favorably to synthetic supplements.
Flavonoids that are found in fruit, vegetables, chocolate, tea, wine, and grape juice reduce cellular oxidative stress and are associated with a reduced risk of heart disease and cancer.
In their article, the researchers compared the effects of Concord grape juice and antioxidant supplements in a group of healthy subjects, and found that it is a potent, long-lasting antioxidant that compares favorably to supplements in its action and perhaps has unique properties that supplements do not.

 The Preservation of Grape Juice   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The decaying of the albumen in the grape juice affords conditions favorable for the multiplication of yeast germs which mix with those already present in the air and release a chemical enzyme capable of breaking down the grape sugar into two forms.
By boiling, the water of the grape juice evaporates, yeasts and molds are destroyed, and the sugar content increases, thus inhibiting yeast growth.
Another method by which the fermentation of grape juice can be prevented is by separating the albumen, which is located in the lining of the skin and in the envelope of the seeds of the grape, from the other elements.

The International Trade Centre in 1992 concluded that the fruit juice business would remain a growth industry as foreign consumers become more "health conscious" and change "their eating and drinking habits."(5) The outlook for increased utilization of grape juice concentrate appears to be promising, including exportation to countries such as Japan and Canada(8).
Grape cultivars utilized in this study were selected for their potential to produce high quality grape juice concentrate, high yields of optimum quality fruit, and to have low maintenance requirements in the vineyard.
