					 75 percent red color.
(b) In the
					 case of honeyball and honeydew melons, that the juice of the edible portion

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Section
						1442.3 relating to standards for
						melons, provides that "mature" in the case of watermelons means that the
						appearance from the outside indicates maturity; and that the arils which
						surround the seeds have been absorbed, and that the flesh of the watermelons
						has not less than 75 percent red color.
In order to provide a uniform method of selecting a
						sample to determine the maturity of watermelons, one of the two following
						procedures shall be followed:
(a) When
					 the outside appearance of watermelons in the lot indicates immaturity, those
					 immature appearing melons shall be cut to determine whether or not the inside
					 indications of immaturity confirm the outside indications, and the maturity of
					 the lot may be determined on that basis. However, in the case of a rejection,
					 enough immature melons must be found to provide sufficient basis to reject the
					 whole load or lot.
(b) Where the
					 outside appearance of the watermelons does not readily indicate immaturity, the
					 sample of melons from the load or lot shall be taken at random; that is,
					 without respect to appearance or any outside indications of maturity.
(1) From the load, select at random, five of
					 the melons; cut them and determine their maturity.
(A) If all of the five melons cut are found
					 to be mature, consider the load or lot to be mature. (In the case of inspection
					 fo the purpose of issuing an "inspection" certificate, and the maturity of the
					 load is being determined by cutting only, then the number cut must be at least
					 10 melons).
(B) If one or more of
					 the five melons are found upon cutting to be immature take an additional five
					 melons in the manner described in item (b) above, on all loads or lots up to
					 10-ton loads. (See item (2) below for loads over 10 tons.)
California Code of Regulations › Title 3 - Food and Agriculture › Division 3 - Economics › Chapter 1 - Fruit and Vegetable Standardization › Subchapter 4 - Fresh Fruits, Nuts and Vegetables › Article 28 - Melons, Other than Cantaloupes › Section 1442.12 - Watermelons, Overripe

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
When the heart has broken loose from the sides of the
						melon, or it can be lifted out easily by the hand, and in addition, the aril
						strings are yellow and rubbery, then the melon is considered overripe; in some
						instances they may also be slimy, but this is not a requirement for
						rejection.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
A rejection shall only be based on those melons in which
						the defect occurs in the edible portion, and particularly not based on outside
						indications such as bumps, welts, or off-color. To determine that the edible
						portion is damaged to the extent that the melon is rejectable, cut the melon in
						any direction, but there must be a distinct brown color or decay in the edible
						flesh and it must be a realistic amount. If there are outside indications of
						damage from rind rot, cut the melon through these welts or spots; it may also
						be necessary to cut the melon lengthwise, or peel the rind off the melon in
						such a way that it makes the line between the edible flesh and the rind more
						visible.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Where such a crack does not in any way involve the
						edibility of a watermelon, it is not to be considered serious; however, such
						melons, when transported long distances and handled roughly, will break down in
						the center, and could easily cause the melon to be rejected. If the heart of
						the melon is split open badly in such a manner as to make that portion of the
						flesh inedible in the same degree as an overripe condition might appear, it is
						considered rejectable under the term "other causes." When a melon or the flesh
						of the melon is referred to as being inedible, we mean that it is damaged and
						jarred to a condition that is undesirable for the average consumer to
						eat.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
When one cubic inch or more of the edible flesh of a
						watermelon is yellow or tan in color, the watermelon so affected is considered
						as not in compliance with the defect provisions of Section
						1442.1.
Compliance with this section of the California
						Administrative Code shall be determined by the examination of not less than 10
						watermelons, selected at random from each load or lot. When the load or lot
						contains more than 10 tons of watermelons, and the original examinations of the
						10 melons show one or more melons seriously damaged by said yellow or tan
						colored spots, an additional melon for each ton, or fraction thereof, more than
						the original 10 tons in the load or lot shall be selected and examined. For
						example: when a load is composed of 12 tons, and the first 10 melons cut
						contained one or more melons seriously damaged due to this cause, it is
						required that 2 additional watermelons be selected in the same manner as the
						first 10 melons, and be cut and the results of these additional cuts be
						combined with the others to complete the sample for this 12-ton load.
In determining serious damage due to said defects in the
						edible portion of a single melon, the melon shall be cut in half, from stem to
						blossom end. If no evidence of yellow or tan colored spots appears on either of
						the two cut surfaces, the melon shall be deemed to be in compliance without
						further cutting. If any evidence of yellow or tan colored spots appears on
						either of the cut surfaces, then each of the two halves shall be cut
						lengthwise, through the seed cavities, to determine the extent of the
						damage.
