Apple variety influence chemical composition and sensory properties of products obtained from apples. This paper reports the influence of apple varieties on the sensory properties of the cider evaluated by two differently trained panel groups. Juices of five varieties apples (‘Auksis’, ‘Lietuvas Pepins’, ‘DI-93-4-14’, ‘Remo’ and ‘Kerr’) were fermented with Saccharomyces bayanis EC-1118 (Lalvin, Canada). The sensory evaluation of samples was carried out with two panel groups – experts (experienced in the field of beverage technology and evaluation) and trained panellists (finished basic course of sensory evaluation). Experts identified flavours of cider, and evaluated intensity of sensory properties, namely, clarity, aroma (apple, fruit, yeast), taste (apple, yeast, sour, astringent, bitter) using line scale. Trained panellists evaluated the samples only using line scale. Four descriptors were significant for characterization of differences in ciders from various variety apples, namely, sour taste, apple taste, apple aroma and clarity. The research suggests that, varieties with more intense apple and fruit aroma, apple taste and additionally with astringent and bitter taste notes are preferable. Taking into account these results, higher evaluations for cider ‘DI-93-4-14’ were observed, followed by ‘Remo’ and ‘Kerr’.
