TITLE 21--FOOD AND DRUGS
CHAPTER I--FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES (CONTINUED)
PART 146 CANNED FRUIT JUICES--Table of Contents
Subpart B Requirements for Specific Standardized Canned Fruit Juices and
Beverages
Sec. 146.140 Pasteurized orange juice.
(a) Pasteurized orange juice is the food prepared from unfermented
juice obtained from mature oranges as specified in Sec. 146.135, to
which may be added not more that 10 percent by volume of the unfermented
juice obtained from mature oranges of the species Citrus reticulata or
Citrus reticulata hybrids (except that this limitation shall not apply
to the hybrid species described in Sec. 146.135). Seeds (except
embryonic
[[Page 449]]
seeds and small fragments of seeds that cannot be separated by good
manufacturing practice) are removed, and pulp and orange oil may be
adjusted in accordance with good manufacturing practice. If the
adjustment involves the addition of pulp, then such pulp shall not be of
the washed or spent type. The solids may be adjusted by the addition of
one or more of the optional concentrated orange juice ingredients
specified in paragraph (b) of this section. One or more of the optional
sweetening ingredients listed in paragraph (c) of this section may be
added in a quantity reasonably necessary to raise the Brix or the Brix-
acid ratio to any point within the normal range usually found in
unfermented juice obtained from mature oranges as specified in Sec.
146.135. The orange juice is so treated by heat as to reduce
substantially the enzymatic activity and the number of viable
microorganisms. Either before or after such heat treatment, all or a
part of the product may be frozen. The finished pasteurized orange juice
contains not less than 10.5 percent by weight of orange juice soluble
solids, exclusive of the solids of any added optional sweetening
ingredients, and the ratio of the Brix hydrometer reading to the grams
of anhydrous citric acid per 100 milliliters of juice is not less than
10 to 1.
(b) The optional concentrated orange juice ingredients referred to
in paragraph (a) of this section are frozen concentrated orange juice as
specified in Sec. 146.146 and concentrated orange juice for
manufacturing as specified in Sec. 146.153 when made from mature
oranges; but the quantity of such concentrated orange juice ingredients
added shall not contribute more than one-fourth of the total orange
juice solids in the finished pasteurized orange juice.
(c) The optional sweetening ingredients referred to in paragraph (a)
of this section are sugar, invert sugar, dextrose, dried corn sirup,
dried glucose sirup.
(d)(1) The name of the food is ``Pasteurized orange juice''. If the
food is filled into containers and preserved by freezing, the label
shall bear the name ``Frozen pasteurized orange juice''. The words
``pasteurized'' or ``frozen pasteurized'' shall be shown on labels in
letters not less than one-half the height of the letters in the words
``orange juice''.
(2) If the pasteurized orange juice is filled into containers and
refrigerated, the label shall bear the name of the food, ``chilled
pasteurized orange juice''. If it does not purport to be either canned
orange juice or frozen pasteurized orange juice, the word ``chilled''
may be omitted from the name. The words ``pasteurized'' or ``chilled
pasteurized'' shall be shown in letters not less than one-half the
height of the letters in the words ``orange juice''.
(e)(1) If a concentrated orange juice ingredient specified in
paragraph (b) of this section is used in adjusting the orange juice
solids of the pasteurized orange juice, the label shall bear the
statement ``prepared in part from concentrated orange juice'' or ``with
added concentrated orange juice'' or ``concentrated orange juice
added''.
(2) If one or more of the sweetening ingredients specified in
paragraph (c) of this section are added to the pasteurized orange juice,
the label shall bear the statement ``------ added'', the blank being
filled in with the name or an appropriate combination of the names of
the sweetening ingredients used. However, for the purpose of this
section, the name ``sweetener'' may be used in lieu of the specific name
or names of the sweetening ingredients.
(f) Wherever the name of the food appears on the label so
conspicuously as to be easily seen under customary conditions of
purchase, the statements specified in this section for naming the
optional ingredients used shall immediately and conspicuously precede or
follow the name of the food, without intervening written, printed, or
graphic matter.
(g) Label declaration. Each of the ingredients used in the food
shall be declared on the label as required by the applicable sections of
parts 101 and 130 of this chapter.
