Popis: This work evaluated the effect of the cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) extract concentration on mead production. Fermentations were carried out in 500-mL Erlenmeyer flasks containing 250 mL of honey wort (30 °Brix), supplemented with 1 g L−1 of ammonium sulfate and 0.1 g L−1 of magnesium chloride and the cowpea extract (5 and 30 g L−1), inoculated with 106 cells mL−1, and incubated at 30 °C for 240 h. Higher cell growth ((cells mL−1): 11.1 × 107, 11.3 × 107, and 19.6 × 107; substrate consumption (%): 86.0, 90.0, and 85.0) and ethanol production ((v v−1 %): 15.0, 15.5, and 14.1) for yeasts Safbrew T-58, Premier Blanc, and Premier Cuvee, respectively, were obtained with 30 g L−1 of bean extract. S. bayanus Premier Blanc had the best metabolic activity with lowest glycerol production (8.5 g L−1) and highest ethanol volumetric yields (0.51–1.52 h−1) after 48 h of fermentation.
