Abstract

Mead is a beverage obtained through fermentation that takes place by diluting honey in water with the addition of yeast. In some regions of Europe, mead is a drink widely consumed and appreciated, in Brazil, it is still little known and explored. As it is a very appreciated drink in markets in countries outside Brazil, this can add value to the honey produced here and bring greater appreciation to the place. Brazil is among the main exporters of in natura honey, which shows that the country may become a major competitor in the mead market. The manufacture of mead involves the use of many practical recipes and is produced today in an artisanal way using methods used in the production of wines. With the increase in honey production in the Northeast region, mainly in the city of Pio-IX, it becomes possible to use this raw material in the manufacture of mead. In view of all the factors favorable to the making of this drink. Then, a search was made for published articles specifically on the subject in order to identify variations in the process and understand the results and conclusions found
