Análise sensorial de hidromel: tipo tradicional

Abstract

Beekeeping is an important economic activity in the state of Alagoas and the development of honey-based products can be an important alternative to the flow of production and at the same time an interesting way of adding value to the product. Mead is a fermented drink obtained by diluting the honey in water with added yeast. In some regions of Europe it is a much consumed and appreciated drink, in Brazil, however, it is little known and exploited. The present study aims to evaluate the acceptance of the beverage, to produce and evaluate the mead and to produce the mead in an artisan way. The honey for the development of the study was acquired in the mountain apiary that is located in the municipality of union of the palm trees.
