Powdered soft drinks are low-cost products, being used by more than 54% of Brazilian homes and, generally, consumed after dilution in water. The objective of this word was to carry out a sensory evaluation of orange flavor refreshment powder to analyze the attributes of appearance, aroma, flavor, texture, overall impression, purchase intention, ideal sweet taste and ideal orange flavor, as well as the intention to purchase of samples. To perform the procedure, six commercial samples of orange-flavored refreshment powder from different commercial brands were used by 120 consumers. The results obtained showed that sample D, followed by sample E, indicated greater acceptability for the attributes evaluated, greater frequency of responses for positive intention to purchase. Sample F followed by sample C was the one with the lowest acceptability and highest frequency of negative intention to purchase. Samples E and D were closer to the ideal for sweet taste and orange flavor, respectively.
