This study was conducted to determine the organoleptic and physical properties and carotenoid of commerical canned, frozen and freshly-made carrot juice. Samples were evaluated by sensory panel and measured for viscosity and acidity. For carotene analysis, HPLC of alpha-and beta-carotene, and spectrophotometry of total carotenoid content were used. Sensory evaluation indicated that the canned sample was less acceptable, especially for flavor and texture, than other juices, while frozen juice was considered as acceptable as freshly-made carrot juice. The canned product showed about 10 times higher viscosity and lower acidity than others. Between two kinds of frozen samples, one sample was the same as freshly-made sample for all parameters while the other showed less alpha-carotene content which was 2 times higher than that of canned one. Canned sample contained 70-77% of freshly-made or frozen samples in total carotenoid and beta-carotene content and 24% of freshly-made one in alpha-carotene. These results suggest that freezing process is a good preservation method for carrot juice with respect to sensory evaluation, physical property and carotenoid content
