HAR §4-44-1. Definitions

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. 4-44- "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. 44-2 4-44- "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.
