An untrained panel of 35 members collaborated in the sensory
analysis. A descriptive test was used evaluating colour intensity,
aroma (in terms of fruity smell), taste (in terms of sweetness,
acidity and fruitiness), consistency and overall acceptability. The
attributes were quantified using a 9-point scale, where 1 was the
lowest value and 9 the highest according to Andres et al. (2015) .
Samples were refrigerated, and 20 ml were served in transparent
glasses immediately after opening in order to minimize organoleptic
alteration. The beverages tested were numerically coded and
served in a single session. Tap water and unsalted crackers were
provided to the panellists to cleanse their palate between sampling.
