Haw. Code R. § 4-44-9
"Canned passion fruit nectar" is the diluted, unfermented juice and pulp obtained from the sound, mature, fresh fruit of the passion fruit vine (Passiflora edulis or Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa or hybrids of these species) which juice and pulp may have been preserved by freezing or chilling, and which fruit has been properly comminuted; is packed with the addition of potable water and of nutritive sweetening ingredients with or without the addition of fruit acids or ascorbic acid, provided that at least one-sixth, by weight, of the nectar consists of passion fruit juice and pulp in natural proportions; and is sufficiently processed by heat or other approved method to assure preservation of the product in hermetically sealed containers.
"Fairly free from defects" means practically no seeds or portions of seeds are present; the drinking quality and appearance of the nectar are not seriously affected by the presence of objectionable material, harmless extraneous materials, 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 two-sixteenths inch in diameter; and the mold count does not exceed ten per cent.
"Fairly good consistency" means the nectar flows readily; is not excessively thick; shows no more than a slight coagulation; and contains not less than four per cent centrifuged solids.
"Good color" means the color of the nectar is fairly bright and yellow; fairly typical of nectar prepared from freshly extracted passion fruit juice and pulp; and not excessively dull or brown colored or seriously off-color from any cause.
"Good consistency" means the nectar flows readily; shows very little or no tendency to separate; shows no coagulation; and contains not less than six per cent centrifuged solids.
"Good flavor" means a fine, distinct canned passion fruit nectar flavor which is free from bitter, oxidized, immature fruit, woody, or other off-flavors and the brix reading is not less than ten degrees; the acid reading is not less than four-tenths gram per one hundred ml of nectar; and the brix to acid ratio is not more than thirty-five to one.
"Practically free from defects" means the nectar contains no seeds or portions of seeds; the appearance and drinking quality of the nectar is not materially affected by the presence of objectionable material, harmless extraneous material, any other defect not specifically mentioned, or any combination of these defects; the mold count does not exceed ten per cent; and 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 one-sixteenth inch in diameter.
"Reasonably good flavor" means a fairly typical flavor of canned passion fruit nectar which is practically free from marked bitter, oxidized, immature fruit, woody, or other off-flavors of any kind and the brix reading is not less than nine and one-half degrees; the acid reading is not less than thirty-five hundredths gram per one hundred ml of nectar; and the brix to acid ratio is not more than forty-five to one.
"Very good color" means that the color of the canned passion fruit nectar is typical of nectar prepared from freshly extracted passion fruit juice and pulp; i.e., it is bright, a good yellow in color, and free from browning or other abnormal color by any cause.
