Proposal for an Araçá-Boi Fruit Mead Factory in the Amazon Region

Abstract

The present work is intended to present a proposal for the construction of a factory, which will produce handcrafted mead with exotic fruit from the Amazon region, Araçá-Boi. It will be shown in a very relevant way the importance in the valorization of the fruit, little used in the local cuisine, its nutrients and the commercialization of the drink in the region. The work will enable the recognition of this drink from ancient times, much appreciated in the Nordic culture, made with the fermentation in honey base, which gave rise to an alcoholic beverage, still so little explored in Brazil.
