§ 1430.5. Citrus, Maturity, Juice Extraction.
This section states the methods of juice extraction and procedures to be used in the soluble solids to acid ratio test and California Standard Scale for maturity testing.
(a) Navel oranges. A citrus press as outlined in (c), below, shall be the only method of extracting juice to determine the California Standard Scale score for Navel oranges. It shall be equipped and be capable of operating in a manner consistent with the provisions of this article. Each Navel orange packinghouse shall provide a citrus press on the premises and it shall be made available to the enforcement officer.
(2) The press shall be capable and calibrated to deliver and maintain 38 psi on the fruit and maintain that pressure for 30 seconds. The air or hydraulic line pressure necessary to maintain the 38 psi shall be determined by the director and shall be imprinted by die stamp on the body of each press. The press shall be mounted with a pressure gauge that will accurately measure the pressure being applied to the fruit. The press shall not increase the moisture content nor add any impurities to the fruit juice extracted. All surface areas that come in contact with the juice shall be of a material, or be plated with a material, that will not affect, or be affected by, the citrus juice being tested.
