Sec. 146.151  Orange juice for manufacturing.

    (a) Orange juice for manufacturing is the food prepared for further 
manufacturing use. It is prepared from unfermented juice obtained from 
oranges as provided in Sec. 146.135, except that the oranges may deviate 
from the standards for maturity in that they are

below the minimum for Brix and Brix-acid ratio for such oranges, and to 
which juice may be added not more than 10 percent by volume of the 
unfermented juice obtained from oranges of the species Citrus reticulata 
or Citrus reticulata hybrids (except that this limitation shall not 
apply to the hybrid species described in Sec. 146.135). Seeds (except 
embryonic seeds and small fragments of seeds that cannot be separated by 
good manufacturing practice) are removed, and pulp and orange oil may be 
adjusted in accordance with good manufacturing practice. If pulp is 
added it shall be other than washed or spent pulp. The juice or portions 
thereof may be so treated by heat as to reduce substantially the 
enzymatic activity and number of viable microorganisms, and it may be 
chilled or frozen, or it may be so treated by heat, either before or 
after sealing in containers, as to prevent spoilage.
    (b) The name of the food is ``Orange juice for manufacturing''.
