The relation between the rheological properties and the swallowing characteristics of vegetable juices fortified with 0–30.0% carrot puree (CP) was evaluated. The apparent viscosity of vegetable juices increased with increasing CP concentrations, and a increases in yield stress were observed at and above 17.5% CP. In a sensory evaluation, texture perceived in the oral cavity varied as between vegetable juices with >17.5% CP and those with <12.5% CP. The maximum velocity in the pharyngeal region was classified into three same-quality subgroups: vegetable juices with 0–12.5% CP, with 10.0–25.0% CP, and with 17.5–30.0% CP. It significantly decreased with increasing CP concentrations.
