Abstract

Highlights: [•] For the first time, we aimed to optimize mead production using RSM. [•] The effects of the temperature and nutrients on mead’s quality were studied. [•] These variables influenced glycerol, acetic acid production and fructose consumption. [•] Optimum conditions found: 24°C and a nutrient concentration of 88g/hL. [•] The models obtained in this study can be used to optimize mead production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
