Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of this work was to elaborate meads from the honeys of Apis mellifera and Melipona subnitida bees, fermented with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces bayanus strains. The honeys were submitted to physicochemical analyses. The fermentations were carried out at 25°C for four months and the beverages were matured at 10°C for two months. The honeys showed different physicochemical characteristics. The highest DPPH radical inhibition percentages were observed in meads produced with Apis mellifera honey, while the Saccharomyces bayanus yeast was the most suitable for mead production due to the high content of ethanol developed.
