Current through June, 2024
As used in this chapter and unless otherwise defined:
"Absence of defects" means the degree of freedom from seeds
				  or portions of seeds, harmless extraneous material, objectionable material, and
				  other defects not specifically mentioned that affect the appearance or drinking
				  quality of the product.
"Acceptance number" means the number in a sampling plan that
				  indicates a maximum number of deviants permitted in a sample of a lot that
				  meets a specific requirement.
"Acid" means grams of acid, calculated as anhydrous citric
				  acid, per one hundred milliliter (hereafter ml) of the product as determined by
				  titration with sodium hydroxide solution using phenolphthalein as an
				  indicator.
"Brix" means the refractometric sucrose value obtained in
				  accordance with the refractometric method for sugars and sugar products
				  outlined in the Official Methods of Analysis of the Association of Official
				  Analytical Chemists 1984, which is made part of this chapter, without
				  correction for acidity.
"Brix-acid ratio" means the quotient of the degrees brix
				  divided by grams acid.
"Consistency" means the viscosity of the product, the
				  tendency of the insoluble solids to separate, and the percentage of the
				  centrifuged solids present.
"Deviant" means a sample unit affected by one or more
				  deviations, or a sample unit that varies in a specifically defined manner from
				  the requirements of a standard or specification.
"Deviation" means any specifically defined variation from a
				  particular requirement.
"Filtrate" means the fluid portion of the product that has
				  passed through a standard bolting cloth.
"Half kernel" means an approximate half of the separated half
				  of a whole kernel with not more than one-eighth of its mass chipped off or
				  missing.
"Harmless extraneous material" means, but is not limited to,
				  those portions of the peel and placenta that will pass through round
				  perforations not exceeding 0.03125 inch in diameter and particles of seeds that
				  will pass through round perforations not exceeding 0.020 inch in
				  diameter.
"Lot" means any number of containers of the same size and
				  type which contain a processed product of the same type and style located in
				  the same warehouse or conveyance; or which, under in-plant inspection, results
				  from consecutive production within a plant and is available for inspection at
				  any one time.
"Rejection number" means the number in a sampling plan that
				  indicates the minimum number of deviants in a sample that will cause a lot to
				  fail a specific requirement.
"Sample" means any number of sample units to be used for
				  inspection.
"Sample unit" means a container and its entire content; a
				  portion of the content of a container or other unit of commodity; or a
				  composite mixture of a product to be used for inspection.
"Seeds or portions of seeds" means any intact seed or any
				  portion of a seed that will not pass through a round perforation 0.020 inch in
				  diameter.
"Soluble solids value" means the refractometric sucrose value
				  of the filtrate obtained in accordance with the refractometric method for
				  sugars and sugar products outlined in the Official Methods of Analysis of the
				  Association of Official Analytical Chemists 1984, which is made part of this
				  chapter, without correction for acidity.
"Whole kernel" means a kernel that is not split or broken
				  into separate halves; that has a general contour not materially affected by
				  missing portion or portions; and that does not have more than one-fourth of its
				  mass chipped off or missing.
