Abstract Fruit juices are on the rise, due to the search new mixes, flavors and nutritional value. This research investigated the acceptance and sensory profile of mixed juices. Sixteen (16) mixed juices with caja, umbu, cocoa and mango flavors were studied, using acceptance and check-all-that-apply (CATA) tests in different cities (n = 226). Juices A1 and D1 had the highest scores in Porto Alegre-RS, Brazil (respectively, 7.15 and 6.91). Differently from Salvador-BA, Brazil, where the highest scores were D2 (6.76) and D3 (6.71). Using CATA, it was shown that customers in the Southern Region characterized samples differently from customers in the Northeastern Region, and the correspondence analysis, showed that consumers in Porto Alegre-RS presented different attributes than those in Salvador-BA, with respect to mixed juices and their acceptance. It is suggested the validity of the consumer data in the characterization of the sensory parameters of the mixed juices and that the familiarity with the fruit flavors interfered in the acceptance of the same.
