(1) The term "ounces" refers to "ounces of net weight" of any individual container, of the average net weight of all the containers, or of the aggregate net weight of all the containers comprising the sample as may be applicable. The allowances as stated may be interpolated into other equivalents for containers of other sizes or on an aggregate basis. For (2) When the unit of the allowance, such as "per 200 ounces", is greater than in individual containers, the net weight of all containers in the sample may be aggregated to arrive at the approximate quantity by which to determine compliance with the stated allowance. example, in a lot consisting of approximate 8-oz. net weight containers and with defects permitted in "1 per 200 ounces", such defect would be permitted in a total of not less than twenty-five 8-oz. containers (approximately 200 ounces in the aggregate). (3) An occasional defect may be permitted if all the containers in a sample in the aggregate constitute a net weight less than the unit of allowance, provided such defect, singly or in combination with other defects, no more than slightly affects the appearance or edibility of the product. § 52.1121 Flavor-(a) (A) classification. Fruit preserves (or jams) that possess a good flavor may be given a score of 34 to 40 points. "Good flavor” means: (1) that the product possesses a good and distinct flavor; and (2) that the flavor is characteristic of the applicable kind of fruit ingredient or applicable kinds of fruit ingredients. (b) (B) classification. If the fruit preserves (or jams) possess a fairly good flavor, a score of 28 to 33 points may be given. Fruit preserves (or jams) that fall into this classification shall not be graded above U. S. Grade B or U. S. Choice, regardless of the total score for the product (this is a limiting rule). "Fairly good flavor" means: (1) that the product possesses a flavor reasonably characteristic of the applicable kind of fruit ingredient or applicable kinds of fruit ingredients; and (2) may possess a slightly caramelized flavor but is free from any bitter flavor canned grapefruit sections, is prepared from sound, mature grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) which have been properly washed; the segments thereof have been separated; and the core, seeds, and major portions of membrane have been removed. The product is packed with or without the addition of water, grapefruit juice, or sweetening ingredients and is sufficiently processed by heat to assure preservation of the product in hermetically sealed containers. § 52.1142 Grades of canned grapefruit. (a) “U. S. Grade A" or "U. S. Fancy" is the quality of canned grapefruit that possesses a drained weight or average drained weight, as the case may be, of not less than 58 percent of the capacity of the container; that consists of not less than 75 percent by weight of the drained grapefruit which is in whole segments or almost whole segments; that possesses a good color; that is practically free from defects; that possesses a good character; that possesses a good flavor and odor; and that scores not less than 90 points when scored in accordance with the scoring system outlined in this subpart. (b) "U. S. Grade B" or "U. S. Choice" is the quality of canned grapefruit that possesses a drained weight or average drained weight, as the case may be, of not less than 55 percent of the capacity of the container regardless of the size of the container; that consists of not less than 50 percent by weight of the drained grapefruit which is in whole segments or almost whole segments; that possesses a reasonably good color; that is reasonably free from defects; that possesses a reasonably good character; that possesses a fairly good flavor and odor; and that scores not less than 80 points when scored in accordance with the scoring system outlined in this subpart. defects; that possesses a reasonably good character; that possesses a fairly good flavor and odor; and that scores not less than 70 points when scored in accordance with the scoring system outlined in this subpart. (d) "Substandard" is the quality of canned grapefruit that fails to meet the requirements of U. S. Grade B or U. S. Choice and U. S. Broken. [18 F. R. 7987, Dec. 9, 1953, as amended at 19 F. R. 324, Jan. 19, 1954] LIQUID MEDIA AND FILL OF CONTAINER § 52.1143 Recommended designations of liquid media and Brix measurements. "Cut-out" requirements for liquid media in canned grapefruit are not incorporated in the grades of the finished product since sirup or any other liquid medium, as such, is not a factor of quality for the purposes of these grades. It is recommended that canned grapefruit have the following indicated "cut-out" Brix measurement for the respective designation, which designations include, but are not limited to, the following: Designation of liquid media: Heavy sirup--Light sirup--- Slightly sweet_______ Briz measurement 18° or more. 16 or more, but less than 18°. 12° or more, but less than 16°. § 52.1144 Recommended fill of container. The recommended fill of container is not incorporated in the grades of the finished product since fill of container, as such, is not a factor of quality for the purposes of these grades. It is recommended that each container of canned grapefruit be filled with grapefruit as full as practicable without impairment of quality and that the product and packing medium occupy not less than 90 percent of the volume of the container. FACTORS OF QUALITY § 52.1145 Ascertaining the grade. (a) The grade of canned grapefruit is ascertained by considering, in conjunction with the requirements of the respective grade, the respective ratings for the factors of drained weight, wholeness, color, absence of defects, and character. (b) The relative importance of each factor which is scored is expressed numerically on the scale of 100. The maximum number of points that may be given such factors are: Factors: Drained weight.. Wholeness Color_.. Absence of defects. Character Total score- Points 20 2220 100 § 52.1146 Ascertaining the rating for the factors which are scored. The essential variations within each factor which is scored are so described that the value may be ascertained for each factor and expressed numerically. The numerical range within each factor which is scored is inclusive (for example, "18 to 20 points" means 18, 19, or 20 points). § 52.1147 Drained weight-(a) General. The drained weight of canned grapefruit is determined by emptying the contents of the container upon a United States Standard No. 8 circular sieve of proper diameter containing 8 meshes to the inch (0.0937-inch, ±3 percent, square openings) so as to distribute the product evenly, inclining the sieve slightly to facilitate drainage, and allowing to drain for two minutes. The drained weight is the weight of the sieve and the grapefruit less the weight of the dry sieve. The grapefruit thus drained is referred to in this section as "drained grapefruit" or "drained weight." A sieve 8 inches in diameter is used for the equivalent of No. 3 size cans (404 x 414) and smaller, and a sieve 12 inches in diameter is used for containers larger than the equivalent of the No. 3 size can. "Capacity of the container" means the weight of distilled water at 68° Fahrenheit which the sealed container will hold. (b) (A) classification. Canned grapefruit that possesses a drained weight of not less than 58 percent of the capacity of the container may be given a score of 18 to 20 points for the respective containers as outlined in Table I and Table II. Whenever more than 1 container of the product is being graded, the score for the drained weight of each container is determined by averaging the drained weights of the containers. If the average drained weight indicates a score of 18 to 20 points (in accordance with Table I or II) such score will be assigned to each container: Provided, That the drained weight of no individual container indicates a score of less than 16 points. However, if any individual container scores less than 16 points, each container will be assigned the score for its own drained weight. (c) (B) classification. If the drained weight of the canned grapefruit is less than 58 percent of the capacity of the container, but is not less than 55 percent of the capacity of the container, a score of 16 or 17 points may be given for the respective containers as outlined in Table I or II. Whenever more than 1 container of the product is being graded, the score for the drained weight of each container is determined by averaging the drained weights of the containers. If the average drained weight indicates a score of 16 or 17 points (in accordance with Table I or II) such score will be assigned to each container: Provided, That the drained weight of no individual container indicates a score of less than 14 points. However, if any individual container scores less than 14 points, each container will be assigned the score for its own drained weight. Canned grapefruit that falls into this classification shall not be graded above U. S. Grade B or U. S. Choice, regardless of the total score for the product (this is a limiting rule). TABLE I-SCORE FOR DRAINED WEIGHTS OF CANNED GRAPEFRUIT Canned (d) (SStd) classification. grapefruit that fails to meet the requirements of paragraph (c) of this section may be given a score of 0 to 15 points and shall not be graded above Substandard, regardless of the total score for the product (this is a limiting rule). [18 F. R. 7987, Dec. 9, 1953, as amended at 19 F. R. 324, Jan. 19, 1954] § 52.1148 Wholeness-(a) General "Whole" or "whole segment" means any grapefruit segment that retains its apparent original conformation and is not excessively trimmed. (1) "Almost whole" or "almost whole segment" means any portion of a grapefruit segment that is not less than 75 percent of the apparent original segment size. (2) "Broken" or "broken segment" means (i) any portion of a grapefruit segment that is less than 75 percent of the apparent original segment size, (ii) a "whole segment" or "almost whole segment" that is excessively trimmed, and (iii) portions of segments that are joined together only by a "thread" or membrane. (b) (A) classification. Canned grapefruit that consists of not less than 75 percent by weight of the drained grapefruit in whole segments or almost whole segments may be given a score of 18 to 20 points. (c) (B) classification. If the canned grapefruit consists of not less than 50 percent by weight of the drained grapefruit in whole segments or almost whole segments a score of 16 or 17 points may be given. Canned grapefruit that falls into this classification shall not be graded above U. S. Grade B or U. S. Choice, regardless of the total score for the product (this is a limiting rule). (d) (Broken) classification. If less than 50 percent by weight of the drained grapefruit is in whole segments or almost whole segments, a score of 0 to 15 points may be given. Canned grapefruit that falls into this classification shall not be graded above U. S. Broken, regardless of the total score for the product (this is a limiting rule). § 52.1149 Color-(a) (A) classification. Canned grapefruit that possesses a good color may be given a score of 18 to 20 points. "Good color" means a practically uniform, bright, typical color free from any noticeable tinge of amber. (b) (B) classification. If the canned grapefruit possesses a reasonably good color, a score of 16 or 17 points may be given. Canned grapefruit that fails into this classification shall not be graded above U. S. Grade B or U. S. Choice, regardless of the total score for the product (this is a limiting rule). "Reasonably good color" means a fairly bright color which may be variable in color but is not off color for any reason. (c) (SStd) classification. Canned grapefruit that fails to meet the requirements of paragraph (b) of this section may be given a score of 0 to 15 points and shall not be graded above Substandard, regardless of the total score for the product (this is a limiting rule). § 52.1150 Absence of defects-(a) General. The factor of absence of defects refers to the degree of freedom |
