A presente invenção refere-se a um processo de fabricação de uma bebida fermentada a base de mel de abelha social e água potável, fermentada por um consórcio de leveduras, Saccharomyces cerevisiae e leveduras não-Saccharomyces, preferencialmente a Torulaspora delbrueckii. O mosto é preparado conforme o teor alcoólico desejado, para isso é determinado o teor de açucares redutores no mel, a partir da massa definida é avolumada com água potável, adicionado nutrientes e calibrado o pH, sendo na sequência pasteurizada. Após resfriamento do referido mosto, acrescenta-se as leveduras pré-hidratadas a Saccharomyces cerevisiae e Torulaspora delbrueckii. A invenção pretende a obtenção de uma bebida com tempo reduzido de fermentação, composição aromática diferenciada e redução de compostos indesejados.

Cazaque

The utility model is related to the field of catalysis, namely, to the technology for producing catalysts based on columnar clays used for the oxidation of phenol with hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solutions. The effect is the reduction of the duration needed to achieve complete phenol degradation by catalytic oxidation in an aqueous solution in the presence of hydrogen peroxide in comparison with the prototype. The new method developed includes washing steps in order to obtain the columnar clays with high levels of purification and elimination of inorganic impurities contained in the raw natural clays.
