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''.
