"Dietetic product" means canned papaya-passion fruit nectar blends that are packed to meet the requirements of a special diet.
"Fairly good consistency" means the nectar blend flows readily; is not excessively thick; shows no more than slight coagulation; has a viscometer reading of not less than twenty seconds at twenty-five degrees celsius; and contains not less than seventeen per cent centrifuged solids.
"Fairly free from defects" means practically no seeds or portions of seeds are present; the drinking quality and appearance is 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 three-sixteenths inch in diameter; and the mold count does not exceed ten per cent.
"Good color" means the color of the canned papaya-passion fruit nectar blend is fairly bright and fairly typical of nectar blend prepared from freshly extracted papaya and passion fruit juice and pulp, and is not dull or brown colored or off-color from any cause.
"Good consistency" means the nectar blend flows readily; shows very little or no tendency to separate; shows no coagulation; has a viscometer reading of not less than twenty-three seconds at twenty-five degrees celsius; and contains not less than twenty-two per cent centrifuged solids.
"Good flavor" means the product has a fairly typical canned papaya-passion fruit nectar blend flavor 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 sixteen degrees; the acid reading is not less than two-tenths gram nor more than three-fourths gram per one hundred ml of nectar blend; and the brix to acid ratio is not less than twenty to one nor more than sixty 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 blend does not contain any seeds or portions of seeds; the drinking quality and appearance of the nectar blend are not more than slightly affected by the presence of extraneous material, objectionable material, any other defect not specifically mentioned, or any combination of these defects; the aggregate area of black or brown deposit at the bottom of the centrifuge tube after centrifuging does not exceed an area of a circle two-sixteenths inch in diameter; and the mold count does not exceed ten 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-passion fruit nectar blend is bright and typical of nectar blend prepared from freshly extracted papaya and passion fruit juice and pulp, and is free from browning or other abnormal color by any cause.
"Very good flavor" means the product has a fine, distinct canned papaya-passion fruit nectar blend flavor which is free from putrefactive, fermented, immature, or other off-flavors of any kind and the brix reading is not less than ten and one-half degrees nor more than fifteen degrees; the acid reading is not less than one-fourth gram nor more than seven-tenths gram per one hundred ml of nectar blend; and the brix to acid ratio is not less than twenty-five to one nor more than fifty-five to one. There shall be no acid or brix to acid ratio requirement for dietetic products.
