(e) "Brix value" in frozen concentrated blended grapefruit juice and orange juice is the refractometric sucrose value determined in accordance with the International Scale of Refractive Indices of Sucrose Solutions and to which the applicable correction for acid is added. (See Table III for corrections.) § 52.1321 Explanation of analyses.

(a) The measurement of Brix value is determined on the thawed concentrate in accordance with the refractometric method for sugars and sugar products, outlined in the "Official Methods of Analysis of the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists."

(b) "Acid," calculated as anhydrous citric acid, is determined by titration with standard sodium hydroxide solution, using phenolphthalein as indicator. (c) "Recoverable oil" is determined by the following method:

(1) Reagents.

METHOD

Standard bromide-bromate solution-prepared and standardized to 0.099N in accordance with Chapter 42, Standard Solutions in the current edition of the AOAC. For use, add 1 volume of standard solution to 3 volumes of water to make 0.0247N solution. 1 ml. of 0.0247N solution supplies bromine to react with 0.00085g., or 0.0010 ml., of d-limonene. The solutions are stable for 6 months.

and therefore is not a factor of quality for the purpose of these grades. EXtracted honey may be prepared and processed as one of the following types:

(a) Liquid honey. "Liquid honey” is honey that is free from visible crystals.

(b) Crystallized honey. "Crystallized honey" is honey that is solidly granulated or crystallized, irrespective of whether "Candied," "Fondant," "Creamed," or "Spread" types of crystal. lized honey.

(c) Partially crystallized honey. “Partially crystallized honey" is honey that is a mixture of liquid honey and crystallized honey.

§ 52.1393 Color of honey.

The color of honey is not a factor of quality for the purpose of these grades

(a) The color classification of honey is determined by means of the U. S. D. A permanent glass color standards for honey.'

(b) The respective color designation applicable range of each color, and color range on the Pfund scale are shown in Table No. I, together with spectrophotometric specifications for freshly prepared caramel-glycerine solutions which in thickness of 3.15 centimeters (1.24 inch) closely match the colors of the U. S. D. A permanent glass color standards.

(c) Crystallized honey and partially crystallized honey are liquefied by heating to approximately 54.4° C. (130° F.) and cooled to approximately 20° C. (68' F.) before ascertaining the color of the honey by means of the U. S. D. A. per. manent glass color standards for honey § 52.1394 Application of U.S.D.A. per

manent glass color standards in classifying the color of honey.

(a) Sample containers. The sample containers for use in making the visual color determination as set forth in § 52.1395 are square bottles of colorless transparent glass, having an internal width at the center of 3.15 centimeters (1.24 inch) with outside base dimensions of approximately 16 inches by 16 inches, and having a capacity of approximately 2 ounces.

(b) Comparator; viewing box. Two comparators or viewing boxes are re

quired for the entire color range in the visual comparison test. Each comparator is divided into five compartments approximately 11⁄2 inches square, with each compartment provided with openings approximately 16 inches square in the two parallel sides. The U. S. D. A. permanent glass color standards are mounted in a fixed position in the front openings of compartments 1, 3, and 5 of the two comparators, compartments 2 and 4 being adapted to receive the sample containers.

(c) Clear blanks. Six clear blanks of distilled water in capped sample containers are required. The clear blanks are placed in the compartments provided behind each permanent glass color standard.

(d) Cloudy suspensions. Three cloudy suspensions of bentonite in distilled water, each in a capped sample container, are required. These are referred to as "Cloudy No. 1," "Cloudy No. 2," and "Cloudy No. 3," corresponding to varying degrees of cloudiness within the range of the different grades of honey. The

U S. D. A. color standards

cloudy suspensions replace the clear blanks when cloudy honey is to be classified for color.

(e) Visual comparison test. The color of a sample of honey is compared with the U. S. D. A. permanent glass color standards in the following manner to determine its color classification:

(1) Place the sample of honey in a clean dry sample container.

(2) Place the clear blanks behind each permanent glass color standard.

(3) Place the container filled with the sample of honey successively in compartments 2 and 4 of the comparator, and visually compare the color of the sample with that of each of the glass color standards by looking through them at a diffuse source of natural or artificial daylight. The color is classified in accordance with the color range as given in Table No. I.

(4) If the sample is appreciably cloudy in appearance, the clear blanks are replaced by the cloudy suspensions, "Cloudy No. 1," "Cloudy No. 2," or "Cloudy No. 3," respectively, to facilitate color classification.

(111) Add 10 ml. of dilute hydrochloric acid and 1 drop of indicator. (An alternative method would be to prepare a solution containing 5 ml. of indicator and 1,000 ml. of dilute hydrochloric acid-then add 10 ml. of this acid-indicator mix to the 150 ml. beaker.)

(iv) Titrate with the dilute bromate solution while stirring. The major portion of the titrant may be added rapidly, but the endpoint must be approached at about 1 drop per second. Disappearance of color indicates the endpoint.

(v) Determine the reagent blank by titratIng three separate mixtures of 25 ml. 2-Propanol and 10 ml. of dilute hydrochloric acid with indicator-without refilling the burette. Divide the total ml. of titrant used by three to obtain the average blank. Subtract the average blank thus obtained from the ml. of titrant used to titrate the distillate.

(vi) Multiply the remainder by 0.004 to obtain the percent recoverable oil by volume In the juice sample.
