§ 53.1

Tomato juice; identity.

Tomato juice is the unconcentrated liquid extracted from mature tomatoes of red or reddish varieties, with or with-out scalding followed by draining. In the extraction of such liquid, heat may be applied by any method which does not add water thereto. Such liquid is strained free from skins, seeds, and other coarse or hard substances, but carries finely divided insoluble solids from the flesh of the tomato. Such liquid may be homogenized, and may be seasoned with salt. When sealed in a container it is so processed by heat, before or after sealing, as to prevent spoilage.

§ 53.5

Yellow tomato juice; identity.

Yellow tomato juice is the unconcentrated liquid extracted from mature tomatoes of yellow varieties. It conforms, in all other respects, to the definition and standard of identity for tomato juice prescribed in § 53.1.

is concentrated and may be seasoned with salt. When sealed in a container it is so processed by heat, before or after sealing, as to prevent spoilage. It contains not less than 8.0 percent, but less than 24.0 percent, of natural tomato soluble solids, as determined by the following method: 1 Determine the refractive index of the clear serum obtained from the product, corrected for temperature, converting the resultant index to "% Sucrose" in accordance with the "International Scale of Refractive Indices of Sucrose at 20° C.," pages 828-30, Reference Tables 43.008 and 43.009 of the book "Official Methods of Analysis of the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists,” 10th edition, 1965. If no salt has been added, this percent sucrose from the reference table shall be considered the percent of natural tomato soluble solids. If salt has been added, determine the percent of sodium chloride by the method prescribed on page 519, section 30.009, under "Sodium Chloride-Official," of said book. Subtract the percent of sodium chloride from the percent of total soluble solids found and multiply the difference by 1.016. The product shall be considered the percent of natural tomato soluble solids.
