Five 100% pomegranate juices, representing various flavor profiles, were evaluated by at least 100 consumers in each country, Thailand, Estonia, Spain, and the USA, to determine which products were liked most by consumers in each country. Flavor of the juices was evaluated by a trained descriptive panel. The results suggest that Estonian, United States, and Thai consumers liked pomegranate juice samples that were sweet, sour, and had other fruity flavor notes, whereas, Spanish consumers liked the sample with fruity, musty/earthy, and vegetative flavors. One sample that was high in sweet aromatics, but also was described by consumers as having “artificial taste” or tasting like a “fruit flavored drink” was liked by some consumers in all countries. The sample that was high in astringency and had fermented and metallic flavors was not liked in any country. Clustering of the consumers showed some split opinions for several samples.
