				to any construction to discuss requests and coordinate plans and specifications
				for the State test room.
(2) Each
				processing plant shall provide an FMC Model 091 B mechanical extractor equipped
				with an automatic feeder, or its equivalent, as is more particularly shown in
				drawings and specifications on file at the Department of Citrus. The mechanical
				extractor shall be set and installed in a manner acceptable to and approved by
				the Division of Fruit and Vegetables, which shall be responsible for its
				maintenance and proper settings. All settings and factors, if any, shall be on
				file at the Department of Citrus office at all times.
(3) Under circumstances where tests are made
				for juice content for maturity purposes only, or tests for maturity are made
				and yield is not involved, the Division of Fruit and Vegetables may approve use
				of extraction equipment described in Rule
				 20-34.002, F.A.C., as an
				alternate to the FMC Model 091 B mechanical extractor.
(4) It shall be the responsibility of the
				processor to keep all machinery and floors in the state test room clean and
				sanitary. While the juice extracted in these testing operations may or may not
				be salvaged by the processor, efficient testing operations require that
				extraction and finishing equipment be thoroughly cleaned at least once daily by
				the processor. It shall also be the responsibility of the processor to provide
				sufficient climate control for proper operation and accuracy of all temperature
				sensitive machinery and testing instruments. It shall be the responsibility of
				the inspector to maintain the testing instruments, buckets, sinks, drainboards,
				etc., in a clean and sanitary condition, and to keep the testing room as neat
				and orderly as practical at all times during receiving
				hours.

				plant shall install mechanical sample selectors, as per drawings and
				specifications on file at the Department of Citrus office, at unloading ramps
				immediately after grading. Effective November 1, 2006, statewide standardized
				sampling equipment will be required. By that date each processing plant shall
				have installed a Flip-Gate style mechanical sample selector system, as per
				specifications on file at the Department of Citrus headquarters and
				incorporated herein by reference. Such specifications shall be adhered to upon
				the installation of new Flip-Gate sampler systems and during the operation and
				maintenance of existing Flip-Gate sampler systems. No alterations or
				modifications shall be made on the sample system without the prior knowledge
				and consent of the Division of Fruit and Vegetables, and such system, under the
				supervision of the Technical Bureau of that Division, shall be maintained by
				the plant to deliver, directly into the state test lab, a representative sample
				from each load of fruit received at the approximate rate of one fruit for each
				ten boxes. All troughs, chutes, conveyors, and belts used for mechanically
				collecting and transporting samples shall be so enclosed as to make the sample
				inaccessible prior to point of delivery into the state test lab.
(2) Official juice analysis tests for
				determining pounds-solids will be made only on fruit collected by such a
				sampling device, except as otherwise provided in this rule, or when, in the
				opinion of the Division of Fruit and Vegetables, such sampling is impractical
				or the inspector deems further sampling and testing is necessary to prevent the

				  measurement as determined by Westphal balance or brix hydrometer corrected to
				  20º centigrade and expressed as a decimal.
Example:
(Juice weight ÷ sample weight) x 90 pounds
box = pound juice per box.
Pounds juice per box x total brix = pounds
solids per box.

Florida Administrative Code › 20 - DEPARTMENT OF CITRUS › 20 - Departmental › Chapter 20-61 - MATURITY TESTS - PROCESSED CITRUS › Section 20-61.009 - Destruction of Fruit Failing Maturity

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1)
				Upon receipt of citrus fruit at a processing plant, a composite test for ratio
				shall be made. If the ratio fails the minimum requirements by more than
				one-half point, two additional such tests shall be made. If the average of the
				three composite tests fails the minimum requirements by more than one-half
				point, the lot of fruit shall be condemned and destroyed. After October 15 of
				each season for all citrus fruits, the application of this provision shall be
				optional with the Division of Fruit and Vegetables as may be necessary to
				determine intent to conceal immature fruit.
(2) All fruit failing to meet minimum
				maturity requirements shall be immediately destroyed under the personal
				supervision of an inspector, and at the expense of the owner. When impractical
				to destroy such fruit immediately, it shall be set aside in a place designated
				by the inspector and shall not be moved except by permission of the inspector,
				and shall be destroyed during the day it is run. Diversion of such fruit for
				use other than in the primary channels of human consumption shall constitute
				destruction within the meaning of this rule.

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Should the
				composite test fail to meet all maturity requirements, other than for reasons
				stated in subsection  20-61.009(1),
				F.A.C., the lot may be regraded or separated on the premises by the processor
				or owner. The inspector may then make a series of not more than three maturity
				tests on the lot after regrading, and such tests shall be final. If the
				averages of the final tests fail to meet the maturity requirements the lot
				shall be condemned and removed from all primary channels of human
				consumption.
(2) Should the
				processor elect not to regrade any lot of fruit found on initial inspection to
				contain immature fruit, he may place an official seal on the lot and return the
				lot to the owner and under a clearance signed by the inspector, the owner may
				remove the fruit to another location designated by the inspector for regrading.
				Any such regrading shall be done in the presence of an inspector, after which
				it may be reoffered for processing use, subject to all applicable inspection
				procedures. The official seal placed on the lot by inspector shall not be
				broken except in the presence of regrading inspector. If such seal has been
				broken prior to presenting lot to regrading inspector, entire lot shall be
				considered to have failed maturity requirements and shall be destroyed under
				the provisions of Rule 20-61.0092, F.A.C.

				indicating the lot or lots to be run during the day. The processor shall notify
				the inspector or inspectors at the beginning and completion of the running of
				each lot of fruit. Should there be two or more lots run simultaneously, it
				shall be the duty of the processor to furnish the inspector with full
				information as to the source of the several lots of fruit and the number of
				boxes in each lot.
