Sensory (acceptance test purchase intention) physicochemical analyses [weight, juice yield, acidity, soluble solids solids/titratable acidity (ratio)] were performed before after storage. Physicochemical data submitted analysis variance regression, while sensory results explored through descriptive statistics principal components using R statistical software. It could be concluded that can stored losing its quality characteristics period 18
