Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate the use of Amazonian fruits in two fermented beverages: fermentation of a dilute solution of honey known commercially as mead for between 10 and 25 days with an ethanol concentration greater than 7%, and a lager-type beer with an alcoholic concentration over 4%, fermented between 4 and 6 days. The Amazonian fruits were Asai (Euterpe precatoria Mart), which has a high content of anthocyanins, flavonoids and carotenoids of interest in the food industry, and copoazu, a fruit with intermediate acidity, a high content of vitamin C and soluble solids, and a possible antioxidant activity. The fermentation took place during the reported, standard periods, without r adding nutrients and/or stabilizing the initial musts. Stability over time was observed for the studied quality variables in the case of the fermented mead drink.
