"Fairly free from defects" means practically no seeds or portions of seeds are present; the appearance and drinking quality of the prepared papaya drink are not seriously affected by dark specks, 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; the clotting time of the papaya puree is not less than five minutes when tested according to the method in subsection (f) for determining presence of papain; and the mold count does not exceed fifteen per cent.
"Fairly good consistency" means the prepared papaya drink flows readily; is not excessively thick; has a viscometer reading of not less than twenty-three seconds at twenty-five degrees celsius; and contains not less than twenty per cent centrifuged solids.
"Frozen papaya puree" is the undiluted, unconcentrated, unfermented juice and pulp in natural proportions from the sound, mature, fresh fruit of the papaya tree (Carica papaya), which fruit has been properly washed; is packed with or without fruit acids or ascorbic acid; is processed in accordance with good commercial practice; and is frozen and maintained at temperatures sufficient for the preservation of the product.

"Good consistency" means the prepared papaya drink flows readily; shows no tendency to separate; has a viscosity reading of not less than twenty-eight seconds at twenty-five degrees celsius; and contains not less than twenty-five per cent centrifuged solids.
"Good flavor" means the prepared papaya drink has the fine, distinct, and substantially typical flavor of a papaya drink prepared from freshly expressed puree and the flavor is free from bitter, putrefactive, oxidized, immature fruit, or other off-flavors; the soluble solids reading is not less than ten and one-half per cent; and the acid reading is not more than fifteen-hundredths gram per one hundred grams of puree.
"Harmless extraneous material" includes, but is not limited to, portions of seeds, placenta, or peel that will pass through round perforations not exceeding 0.03125 inch in diameter.
"Practically free from defects" means no seeds or portions of seeds are present; the drinking quality and appearance of the prepared drink are not more than slightly affected by the presence of dark specks, objectionable material, harmless extraneous 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 an area of a circle two-sixteenths inch in diameter; the clotting time of the papaya puree is not less than seven minutes when tested according to the method in subsection (f) for determining presence of papain; and the mold count does not exceed fifteen per cent.
"Prepared papaya drink" means the papaya puree diluted with water based on the manufacturer's directions or label specification, or by the addition of two and one-half volumes of potable water to one volume of puree.
"Reasonably good flavor" means the prepared papaya drink has a flavor fairly typical of a papaya drink prepared from freshly expressed papaya puree and the flavor is practically free from bitter, putrefactive, oxidized, immature fruit, or other off-flavors and free from abnormal flavors of any kind; and the papaya puree has a soluble solids reading of not less than nine and one-half per cent and an acid reading of not less than one-tenth gram per one hundred grams of puree.
"Seeds or portion 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 is light yellow to orange, is typical of nectar prepared from freshly extracted papaya puree, and is free from browning or other abnormal color by any cause.
