HAR §4-44-6. Standards for canned papaya nectar

(a) As used in this section: "Canned papaya nectar" is the diluted, unfermented juice and pulp obtained from the sound, mature, fresh fruit of the Carica papaya tree which juice and pulp may have been preserved by freezing or chilling; the fruit has been properly washed, prepared, and comminuted; is packed with the addition of potable 44-18 4-44- water, with or without the addition of nutritive sweetening ingredients or other suitable sweeteners for dietetic packs, with or without the addition of fruit acids, ascorbic acid, or stabilizers or preservatives, provided that at least one-third by weight of the nectar consists of papaya juice and pulp in natural proportions; and provided further that no more than ten per cent, by weight, of the nectar consists of the juice and pulp of another fruit; and is sufficiently processed by heat or other approved method to assure preservation of the product in hermetically sealed containers. "Dietetic product" means canned papaya nectar that is packed to meet the requirements of a special diet. "Fairly free from defects" means practically no seeds or portions of seeds are present; the drinking quality and appearance are not seriously affected by the presence of harmless extraneous material, objectionable material, any other defect not specifically mentioned, or any combination of these defects; the aggregate area of any black or brown deposit at the bottom of the centrifuge tube after centrifuging does not exceed the area of a circle seven thirty-seconds inch in diameter; and the mold count does not exceed fifteen per cent. "Fairly good consistency" means the nectar flows readily; is not excessively thick; shows no more than slight coagulation; has a viscometer reading of not less than twenty-five seconds at twenty-five degrees celsius; and contains not less than twenty-six per cent centrifuged solids. "Fairly good flavor" means a flavor fairly typical of canned papaya nectar which is free from putrefactive, fermented, or other off-flavors and the brix reading is not less than nine and one-half degrees nor more than eighteen degrees; the acid reading is not less than one-tenth gram nor more than six-tenths gram per one hundred ml of nectar; and the brix to acid ratio is not less than twenty-five to one nor more than eighty to one. There shall be no brix or brix to acid ratio requirement for dietetic products. "Good color" means the color of the canned papaya nectar is fairly bright and fairly typical of nectar prepared from freshly extracted papaya juice and pulp, and is not dull or brown colored or off-color from any cause. "Good consistency" means that the nectar flows readily; shows very little or no tendency to separate; shows no coagulation; has a viscometer reading of not less than twenty-eight seconds at twenty-five degrees celsius; and contains not less than thirty-one per cent centrifuged solids. 44-19 4-44- "Good flavor" means the product has a fine, distinct canned papaya nectar flavor which is free from putrefactive, fermented, or off-flavors of any kind and the brix reading is not less than ten degrees nor more than sixteen degrees; the acid reading is not less than fifteen hundredths gram nor more than one-half gram per one hundred ml of nectar; and the brix to acid ratio is not less than thirty to one nor more than seventy to one. There shall be no brix or brix to acid ratio requirement for dietetic products. "Harmless extraneous material" includes, but is not limited to, particles of seeds, peel, or placenta that will pass through round perforations not exceeding 0.03125 inch in diameter. "Practically free from defects" means the nectar does not contain any seeds or portions of seeds; the drinking quality and appearance of the nectar is not more than slightly affected by the presence of harmless extraneous material, objectionable material, any other defect not specifically mentioned, or any combination of these defects; the aggregate area of any black or brown deposit at the bottom of the centrifuge tube after centrifuging does not exceed the area of a circle five thirty-seconds inch in diameter; and the mold count does not exceed fifteen per cent. "Seeds or portions of seeds" means any intact seed or any portion of a seed that will not pass through a round perforation 0.03125 inch in diameter. "Very good color" means the color of the canned papaya nectar is bright and typical of nectar prepared from freshly extracted papaya juice and pulp, and is free from browning or other abnormal color by any cause. (b) Hawaii Grade A or Hawaii Fancy canned papaya nectar is the quality of canned papaya nectar that possesses a very good color, good consistency, and good flavor; is practically free from defects; and scores not less than eighty-five points by the scoring system in subsection (e). (c) Hawaii Grade C or Hawaii Standard canned papaya nectar is the quality of canned papaya nectar that possesses a good color, fairly good consistency, and fairly good flavor; is fairly free from defects; and scores not less than seventy points by the scoring system in subsection (e). (d) Substandard canned papaya nectar is the quality of canned papaya nectar that fails to meet the requirements of subsections (b) and (c). (e) The grade of canned papaya nectar shall be ascertained by considering the factors of quality. The relative importance of each factor shall be expressed numerically on the scale of one hundred. The maximum 44-20 4-44- number of points that may be given to specific quality factors shall be twenty points for color; twenty-five points for consistency; twenty points for absence of defects; and thirty-five points for flavor. Canned papaya nectar which falls into a particular classification for any quality factor shall not be assigned a grade indicative of a higher classification regardless of the total score for the product. The following quality classifications shall apply to canned papaya nectar: (1) Color classifications shall be as follows: (A) Canned papaya nectar that possesses a very good color may be given a score of seventeen to twenty points and shall be classified as fancy; (B) Canned papaya nectar that possesses a good color may be given a score of fourteen to sixteen points and shall be classified as standard; and (C) Canned papaya nectar that fails to meet the requirements of subparagraphs (A) and (B) may be given a score of zero to thirteen points and shall be classified as substandard; (2) Consistency classifications shall be as follows: (A) Canned papaya nectar that possesses a good consistency may be given a score of twenty-one to twenty-five points and shall be classified as fancy; (B) Canned papaya nectar that possesses a fairly good consistency may be given a score of seventeen to twenty points and shall be classified as standard; and (C) Canned papaya nectar that fails to meet the requirements of subparagraphs (A) and (B) may be given a score of zero to sixteen points and shall be classified as substandard; (3) Absence of defects classifications shall be as follows: (A) Canned papaya nectar that is practically free from defects may be given a score of seventeen to twenty points and shall be classified as fancy; (B) Canned papaya nectar that is fairly free from defects may be given a score of fourteen to sixteen points and shall be classified as standard; and (C) Canned papaya nectar that fails to meet the requirements of subparagraphs (A) and (B) may be given a score of zero to 44-21 4-44- thirteen points and shall be classified as substandard; and (4) Flavor classifications shall be as follows: (A) Canned papaya nectar that possesses a good flavor may be given a score of thirty to thirty-five points and shall be classified as fancy; (B) Canned papaya nectar that possesses a fairly good flavor may be given a score of twenty-five to twenty-nine points and shall be classified as standard; and (C) Canned papaya nectar that fails to meet the requirements of subparagraphs (A) and (B) may be given a score of zero to twenty-four points and shall be classified as substandard. (f) The speed of the centrifuge machine shall be from column B in "Table I, Approximate Revolutions of Centrifuge Machine, 8/24/68", which is located at the end of this chapter and made a part of this chapter. (g) When canned papaya nectar is packaged as a dietetic product, this fact shall be stated in connection with the grade assigned to the product. Example: Hawaii Fancy, Dietetic Product or Hawaii Grade C, Dietetic product. (h) The recommended fill of container shall not be incorporated in the grades of the finished product since fill of container is not a factor of quality for the purpose of this section. It is recommended that the container be as full of papaya nectar as practicable and that the product occupy not less than ninety per cent of the volume capacity of the container.
