SERVICES (CONTINUED)
PART 146 CANNED FRUIT JUICES--Table of Contents
Subpart B Requirements for Specific Standardized Canned Fruit Juices and
Beverages
Sec. 146.151 Orange juice for manufacturing.
(a) Orange juice for manufacturing is the food prepared for further
manufacturing use. It is prepared from unfermented juice obtained from
oranges as provided in Sec. 146.135, except that the oranges may
deviate from the standards for maturity in that they are below the
minimum for Brix and Brix-acid ratio for such oranges, and to which
juice may be added not more than 10 percent by volume of the unfermented
juice obtained from 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
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 pulp is
added it shall be other than washed or spent pulp. The juice or portions
thereof may be so treated by heat as to reduce substantially the
enzymatic activity and number of viable microorganisms, and it may be
chilled or frozen, or it may be so treated by heat, either before or
after sealing in containers, as to prevent spoilage.
(b) The name of the food is ``Orange juice for manufacturing''.
