§ 1430.47. Tangerines or Mandarins, Maturity and Color Requirements.
Currentness
(a) Tangerines or mandarins shall contain soluble solids at least equal to 6 ½ parts to every part of acid contained in the juice. The acidity of the juice is to be calculated as citric acid without water of crystallization. No tolerance shall be allowed.
(b) Ninety percent, by count, of the fruits in any container or bulk lot shall show a yellow, orange, or red color on 75 percent or more of the fruit surface.
(c) The maturity sample shall consist of not less than 18 fruit.
(d) If the soluable solids to acid ratio test of the first sample selected fails to meet the maturity standard, but is not more than 0.4 below the required ratio, two more samples shall be analyzed. An enforcement officer may select and analyze more than three samples, but the average of the results of all of the tests taken shall determine whether that lot meets the maturity requirement.
