## SAFETY STATEMENT

*This USCL Method cannot fully address safety issues that may arise from
its use. The analyst is responsible for assessing potential safety
issues associated with a given method at its point of use.*

*Before using this method, the analyst will consider all general
laboratory safety precautions. In particular, the analyst will identify
and implement suitable health and safety measures and will comply with
all pertinent regulations.*

## METHOD UNCERTAINTY

The uncertainty of measurement for this method is specific to each
laboratory.

**0. INTRODUCTION**

Chapter 20 of the *Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States*
(*HTSUS*) requires the identification and determination of the degree of
concentration of fruit juices and syrups for classification purposes.
*HTSUS* Heading 2009 covers unfermented fruit juices whether or not
containing added sugar or other sweetening matter.

**1.** **SCOPE AND FIELD OF APPLICATION**

This method may be used to determine the degree of concentration of
fruit juices based on soluble solids (Brix).

Commercially, the degree of concentration of fruit juices is based
principally on the soluble solids (Brix) determined from the refractive
index, corrected for the amount of citric acid contained in the
concentrate.

Annex II lists degrees of concentrations for various juices at varying
Brix values.

Generally, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) will serve to
indicate whether or not the sample is sweetened.

**3. REAGENTS AND MATERIAL**

During the analysis, unless otherwise stated, use only reagents of
recognized analytical grade and only distilled or deionized water.

**3.1** Reagents.

**3.1.1** Standard solution of sodium hydroxide (0.1N).

**3.1.2** Phenolphthalein indicator: 1-g phenolphthalein per 100 ml of
ethyl alcohol.

**3.2** Materials.

**3.2.1** Muslin, 12 to 13 inches square, washed and dried, a metal
screen of appropriate mesh size to remove fruit pulp, or glass wool.

**4. APPARATUS**

**4.1** Abbé Refractometer or equivalent.

**4.2** Bath, constant temperature, capable of maintaining a temperature
of 20^º^ C ±0.1^º^C.

**4.3** Analytical Balance, accurate to ±0.1 mg.

**5.** **SAMPLE PREPARATION**

**5.1** Shake thoroughly and filter, if necessary, through a muslin
square, wire mesh screen, or glass wool.

**6. PROCEDURE**

**6.1** Preliminary Observations: Note the color, odor, and consistency
of the sample as a means of identifying the type of fruit from which it
was derived.

**6.2** Alcohol Content: Determine the percentage of alcohol by volume
at 20^º^ C following *USCL 22-07*/*AOAC 983.13* or *AOAC 920.57* and
*913.02* (**2.4**, **2.5**, **2.6**).

**6.3** Acid as Citric: Accurately weigh to ±0.1 mg a 10-g sample of an
unconcentrated juice or a 2-g sample of a concentrated juice. Transfer
to a 500-ml Erlenmeyer flask and dilute to 250 ml with deionized water
or recently boiled water. Titrate to an end point with a standard
solution of sodium hydroxide (0.1N) using either a pH meter for end
point detection or by adding approximately 1 ml of phenolphthalein
indicator and titrating to a faint pink end point. Record the volume to
±0.05-ml. Calculate the percentage of acid as citric acid by **7.1**.

**6.4** Soluble Solids (Brix) and Specific Gravity: Determine the
refractive index or Brix of the sample at 20^º^C with an Abbé
refractometer or equivalent. Read the Brix or refractive index directly
from the scale. If reading refractive index, convert to degrees Brix by
use of *AOAC Table 990.35A* (**2.8**).

**NOTE:** The Brix reading of the concentrated juice must be adjusted
for the effect of any added sweetening materials.

Correct the obtained Brix reading for the amount of acid contained in
the concentrate by adding the appropriate correction corresponding to
the percentage of anhydrous citric acid using Annex I of this method.
Calculate the percent (%) soluble solids (Brix value) by **7.2**.

Convert the Brix value to specific gravity by means of *AOAC Table
942.33* (**2.7**).

**7. EXPRESSION OF RESULTS**

**7.1** Acid as anhydrous citric acid:

$$\begin{array}{r}
\text{\%}\ \text{Acid}\  = \underline{V\ x\ 0\text{.}\text{640}} \\
\ W
\end{array}$$

Where

*V* is the volume in milliliters of 0.1N alkali used. (For other
concentrations of alkali, the factor becomes N x 6.4.)

*W* is the weight in grams of sample.

7.2 Soluble Solids (Brix value) and Specific Gravity:

$$\text{\%}\ \text{Soluble}\ \text{Solids}\  = \ B\  + \ F$$

Where

*B* is the Brix reading (read directly**,** or sucrose value obtained
from *AOAC Table 990.35A* (**2.8**) corresponding to refractometer
reading). **[Note]{.smallcaps}**: The Brix reading of the concentrated
juice must be adjusted to compensate for the effect of any added
sweetening materials.

*F* is the correction for citric acid content (from Annex I of this
method).

Specific Gravity equals a value corresponding to (corrected) degrees
Brix (Brix value) from *AOAC Table 942.33*. (**2.7**)

**7.3** Degree of Concentration on a volume basis:

For juices and corresponding Brix values (Brix readings corrected for
citric acid (**7.2**) and any added sweeteners, as defined in *HTSUS*
Chapter 20, Additional U.S. Note 1 c) listed in Annex II, the degree of
concentration may be read directly.

For juices or concentrations not listed in Annex II, the degree of
concentration may be calculated as follows:

$$C\  = \ \frac{B_{c}\ x\ S_{c}}{B_{r}\ x\ S_{r}}$$

Where

C is the degree of concentration.

B~c~ is Brix value of concentrated juice (degrees Brix of concentrated
juice corrected for acid and any added sweetening material.) (**7.2**).

B~r~ is Brix value of unconcentrated juice (**Annex II**, **8.3**).

S~c~ is specific gravity corresponding to the Brix value of the
concentrated juice at 20/20 (**7.2**, **2.7**).

S~r~ is specific gravity corresponding to the Brix value of the
unconcentrated juice at 20/20 (**Annex II**, **8.3**, **2.7**).

^a^ Values for correction for 30.40-59.80% citric acid calculated
according to the following formula as extracted from the original data
in (**8.1**):

**Brix correction = (0.1775 x % anhydrous citric acid) + 0.1343**

#### ANNEX II

# [Degree of Concentration]{.smallcaps}

Table should be used only if adjustments have been made to Brix reading
to compensate for the effect of any added sweetening materials and
corrected for acid.
