At present, more and more research on the grape’s antioxidant, grapes contain a large number of biologically active substances, such as grape polyphenols, flavonoids, proanthocyanidins and so on, this antioxidant components play a role in the prevention and improvement of many diseases[1]. Previous studies showed that grape seed extract have anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic, anti-allergic, antitumor, anti-aging, slow down the process of development of Parkinson’s disease, and the regulation of vascular cell function, inhibit LDL oxidation and reduce platelet. Protective effect of condensation[2-3]. Free radicals were the reason of evil, which can cause cancer, aging, cardiovascular and other degenerative diseases[4]. Many researches showed that the pathogenesis of many diseases may be relate to the imbalance on the produce and remove of the free radicals, and the performance show that the enhanced of the oxidation with the decreased antioxidant capacity[5]. Free radical generation and scavenging in vivo was imbalance in the case of steady-stage, the body produces many free radicals. These free radicals attacked normal cells, lead to normal cell dysfunction, such as atherosclerosis, heart disease, cerebral ischemia, Alzheimer’s disease, liver disease, diabetes, the aging, cancer and rheumatism, etc[6-8]. Today, the food industry was using synthetic antioxidants, such as BHA and BHT, the animal experiments show that they have a toxic and carcinogenic effects[9]. The disadvantages required the development of natural non-toxic anti-oxidants. The grapes were such natural plant resources, which posessed anon-toxic, efficient characteristics, and has antioxidant, in particular play a role in scavenging free radicals[10]. Bagchi et al.[11]research shows that in the 100 mg/L of the same concentration of procyanidins on superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical inhibition rate of 78%—81%, much higher than the vitamin C (12%—19%) and vitamin E (36%—41%) of the inhibition rate. Other research reports[12]showed that the ability of the catechin to capture the ABTS+· was higher than VC. Combinded with resveratrol, VC and VE can make synergistic effect, which can enhanced antioxidant activity[13]. Domestic and international research[14]showed that the free radical scavenging capacity of grape polyphenols was strongest in many plant polyphenols, which antioxidant activity was 50 times to VE and 20 times to VC. in vitro antioxidant evaluation, many researchers used to measure DPPH free radical scavenging capacity of samples. Many studies[15]have shown: DPPH method was rapid, simple, sensitive, direct and practical. In addition, there was a method that used the POV (peroxide value of oils and fats) to measure antioxidant capacity in vitro[16]. in vivo antioxidant evaluation was often through measure serum or liver homogenate MDA values to reflect the antioxidants ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation[17].
Because there were many difference to the same species of plants in different ecological environments, climatic factors, planting and management[18]. Grapes were no exception, the impact of its quality by region, and the special circumstances of Xinjiang’s geography and climate, grape resources also very rich, with broad prospects of research grape in Xinjiang. Therefore, The objectives of this work were to investigate four evaluation methods of antioxidants in vitro and by animal experiments of antioxidants in vivo to evaluate the antioxidant activities of distilled water, 80% ethanol and ethylacetate extracts of four kinds of grape grown in Xinjiang, such as the DPPH radical scavenging assay, superoxide radical scavenging assay, hydroxyl radical scavenging assay, prussian blue spectrophotometry measure, and methods of SOD kit and MDA kit. In addition, this study also chemical qualitative and quantitative analyse the active ingredient of the best antioxidant activity of grape extract, which providing the theoretical basis for development of grapes grown in Xinjiang.

3 Discussion and Conclusion
The four in vitro evaluation and in vivo animal models experiment showed that there were difference exist in the antioxidant determination results among the four kind of grape, especially in phenanthroline-Fe2+method and light riboflavin-NBT method. The two methods determination results were not obvious, the test of negative clearance rate, indicated that the two methods were not suitable for evaluation of grape juice’s antioxidant activity. Measured the total antioxidant capacity and free radical scavenging DPPH method were simple and had obvious phenomenon can be used to indicate the antioxidation activity of four grape juice objectively.
Through animal experiments to test and verify the aqueous extract antioxidant of grape, the results confirmed the in vitro evaluation results. The fact that LD groupand NC group had no difference, which indicated that low doses of aqueous extract of grape juice had no effect on mice in vivo antioxidant aspect. But the MD and HD group were significantly different from NC group, and the MD and HD groups were significantly different from each other, these indicated that the medium dose and high dose group mice demonstrated obvious in vivo antioxidant effect. Muscat hamburg grape juice had obvious effect on mice antioxidant activity, it can effectively increasethe serum and liver SOD, it can reduce the MDA value of the liver. The water extract of Muscat hamburg grapes can improve the mice serum SOD activity and decrease MDA content in liver tissue.
By chemical qualitative experiment, the research obtained that aqueous extract of Muscat hamburg grape had active ingredient, the results showed that it contained phenols, flavonoids, polysaccharides and other substances with antioxidant activity, which total polyphenols was 0.456 mg/mL, total flavonoid 4.37 mg/mL was also good evidence of its high antioxidant activity. Inaddition the total flavonoids was the major antioxidant, while the polyphenols was due to the content of phenolic ompounds were low levels in grape juice, and mainly in the skin seeds of grape[25].
The results showed that: there were significantly difference among the same extracts of different kind of grape juice on antioxidant activity aspect in vitro. The in vitro antioxidant capacity of the AE from the Muscat hamburg grape juice was strongest. The AE (800 mg/(kg•d)) from the Muscat hamburg grape juice could increase serum and liver tissue SOD activity, and reduce the MDA content inliver tissue. The AE from the Muscat grape juice contains polysaccharides, organic acids, flavonoids, polyphenols and other antioxidant substances, which have total phenolics 0.456 mg/mL, total flavonoids 4.37 mg/mL.
