§ 1430.38. Oranges, Maturity and Sample Size.
The ratio of soluble solids to acid in the Valencia juice shall be determined by the analysis of a random sample from each lot of Valencia oranges consisting of not less than 30 fruit. When Valencia oranges are segregated by size as provided in Section 1430.45, each such size shall be considered as a separate lot.
The California Standard Scale score for soluble solids and acid in the navel juice shall be determined by the analysis of a random sample from each lot of navel oranges consisting of not less than 30 fruit. When navel oranges are segregated by size as provided in Section 1430.45, each such size shall be considered as a separate lot.
When oranges are not segregated by size the fruits of any one size shall be considered as a separate lot.
If the soluble solids to acid ratio test of the first sample of Valencia oranges selected fails to meet either the 8 to 1 or the 7 to 1 ratio, but is not more than 0.4 below either ratio, one more sample shall be analyzed. An enforcement officer may select and analyze more than two samples, but the average of the results of all of the tests taken shall determine whether that lot meets the maturity requirement. Any lot failing to meet the 7 to 1 ratio for Valencia oranges shall be rejected and disposed of in accordance with the provisions of Section 1390.
If the soluble solids and acid score of the first sample of navel oranges selected fails to meet either a score 90 or 80 on the California Standard Scale score, but is not more than 5 below either score, one or more sample shall be analyzed. An enforcement officer may select and analyze more than two samples, but the average of the results of all of the tests taken shall determine whether that lot meets the maturity requirement. Any lot failing to meet a score of 80 on the California Standard Scale shall be rejected and disposed of in accordance with the provisions of Section 1390.
