"Canned papaya nectar" is the diluted, unfermented juice and pulp obtained from the sound, mature, fresh fruit of the Carica papaya tree which juice and pulp may have been preserved by freezing or chilling; the fruit has been properly washed, prepared, and comminuted; is packed with the addition of potable water, with or without the addition of nutritive sweetening ingredients or other suitable sweeteners for dietetic packs, with or without the addition of fruit acids, ascorbic acid, or stabilizers or preservatives, provided that at least one-third by weight of the nectar consists of papaya juice and pulp in natural proportions; and provided further that no more than ten per cent, by weight, of the nectar consists of the juice and pulp of another fruit; and is sufficiently processed by heat or other approved method to assure preservation of the product in hermetically sealed containers.
"Dietetic product" means canned papaya nectar that is packed to meet the requirements of a special diet.
"Fairly free from defects" means practically no seeds or portions of seeds are present; the drinking quality and appearance are not seriously affected by the presence of harmless extraneous material, objectionable material, any other defect not specifically mentioned, or any combination of these defects; the aggregate area of any black or brown deposit at the bottom of the centrifuge tube after centrifuging does not exceed the area of a circle seven thirty-seconds inch in diameter; and the mold count does not exceed fifteen per cent.
"Fairly good consistency" means the nectar flows readily; is not excessively thick; shows no more than slight coagulation; has a viscometer reading of not less than twenty-five seconds at twenty-five degrees celsius; and contains not less than twenty-six per cent centrifuged solids.
"Fairly good flavor" means a flavor fairly typical of canned papaya nectar which is free from putrefactive, fermented, or other off-flavors and the brix reading is not less than nine and one-half degrees nor more than eighteen degrees; the acid reading is not less than one-tenth gram nor more than six-tenths gram per one hundred ml of nectar; and the brix to acid ratio is not less than twenty-five to one nor more than eighty to one. There shall be no brix or brix to acid ratio requirement for dietetic products.
"Good color" means the color of the canned papaya nectar is fairly bright and fairly typical of nectar prepared from freshly extracted papaya juice and pulp, and is not dull or brown colored or off-color from any cause.
"Good consistency" means that the nectar flows readily; shows very little or no tendency to separate; shows no coagulation; has a viscometer reading of not less than twenty-eight seconds at twenty-five degrees celsius; and contains not less than thirty-one per cent centrifuged solids.
"Good flavor" means the product has a fine, distinct canned papaya nectar flavor which is free from putrefactive, fermented, or off-flavors of any kind and the brix reading is not less than ten degrees nor more than sixteen degrees; the acid reading is not less than fifteen hundredths gram nor more than one-half gram per one hundred ml of nectar; and the brix to acid ratio is not less than thirty to one nor more than seventy to one. There shall be no brix or brix to acid ratio requirement for dietetic products.
"Harmless extraneous material" includes, but is not limited to, particles of seeds, peel, or placenta that will pass through round perforations not exceeding 0.03125 inch in diameter.
"Practically free from defects" means the nectar does not contain any seeds or portions of seeds; the drinking quality and appearance of the nectar is not more than slightly affected by the presence of harmless extraneous material, objectionable material, any other defect not specifically mentioned, or any combination of these defects; the aggregate area of any black or brown deposit at the bottom of the centrifuge tube after centrifuging does not exceed the area of a circle five thirty-seconds inch in diameter; and the mold count does not exceed fifteen per cent.
"Seeds or portions of seeds" means any intact seed or any portion of a seed that will not pass through a round perforation 0.03125 inch in diameter.
"Very good color" means the color of the canned papaya nectar is bright and typical of nectar prepared from freshly extracted papaya juice and pulp, and is free from browning or other abnormal color by any cause.
