Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 20-34.007 - Juice Content in Oranges - Sampling and Testing
(1) The test for juice content of oranges
shall be made by selecting not less than 20 average diameter fruit of the
diameter to be tested. The juice shall be extracted either by hand or by use of
the official juice extractor equipment as described in rule
20-34.002, F.A.C. The juice
content must meet or exceed a minimum of 4-1/2 gallons per 1-3/5 bu. box or
equivalent.
(2) If the initial test
fails, two additional tests may be made. If the average juice content of all
fruit used in the three tests fails to meet the minimum requirement, that
diameter shall be legally diverted for other suitable use under supervision of
the inspector.
(3) If any one
diameter fails maturity, the applicant shall declare to the inspector all
diameters in that lot. In addition, all mature diameters above and below the
diameter that fails shall meet minimum and maximum maturity requirements. The
method in determining compliance shall be the same as for grapefruit described
in subsection 20-34.006(7),
F.A.C.
