7.4 Test results. The test results for caffeine and moisture shall be reported to the nearest 0.1 percent. The test results for glucose and xylose shall be reported to the nearest 0.01 percent. The test results for sediment shall be reported to the nearest 0.1 mg. The test results for particle
size shall be reported to the nearest 1.0 percent. The test results for standard plate count shall be reported to the nearest 10 grams. The test results for ochratoxin A shall be reported to the nearest ppb. Any results not conforming to the chemical, physical, and microbiological requirements shall be cause for rejection of the lot.
8. MANUFACTURER'S/DISTRIBUTOR'S PRODUCT ASSURANCE. The manufacturer/ distributor shall certify that the soluble coffee provided shall meet the salient characteristics of this CID, conform to their own specifications, standards, and quality assurance practices, and be the same soluble coffee offered for sale in the commercial market. The purchaser reserves the right to require proof of conformance.
9. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS. The delivered soluble coffee shall comply with all applicable Federal and State mandatory requirements and regulations relating to the preparation, packaging, labeling, storage, distribution, and sale of the soluble coffee in the commercial marketplace. Delivered soluble coffee shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, and regulations promulgated thereunder.
10. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS. Purchaser shall specify 10.3, or 10.4;
purchaser may specify 10.1 with 10.1.1, 10.1 with 10.1.2, 10.1.2 with 10.2.1, 10.2 with 10.2.1, or
10.2 with 10.2.2.
6 Weigh 5.0 grams of instant coffee into a clean 250 mL beaker. Add 200 mL of 85° - 100°C (185° - 212°F) distilled water. Stir until coffee is completely dissolved. Filter the hot coffee through a sediment filtering apparatus (see note below). The coffee solution shall not be less than
60°C (140°F) at the time of filtration. The filtering apparatus shall hold 3.175 cm (1-1/4 in) sediment disk and have an effective filtering area
with a 2.8575 cm (1-1/8 in) diameter. The 2.8575 cm (1-1/8 in) diameter filtering area must be unobstructed except for a wire screen or wire screen and perforated plate support for filter disk, and constructed so that no sample being filtered can bypass the filtering material. Rinse the beaker and the sediment tester with 85°C (185°F) distilled water (not to exceed 200 mL) so as to transfer all sediment to the surface of the filter material and to rinse out all of the soluble coffee from the filter. Carefully remove the filter containing the sediment from apparatus and air dry the filter. Compare the dried filter with the photographs of the United States Sediment Standards for Milk and Milk Products.
NOTE: The sediment testing apparatus used in performing the sediment test is a Model KL Sediment tester, available from Sediment Testing Supply, 7366 North Greenview Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60626, or its equivalent. The filter material used can also be obtained from the same company or from Filter Fabrics, 814 E. Jefferson Street, Goshen, Indiana 46528, or their equivalent.
7 When required, the procedure for determining the particle size of the Type III product shall be as follows:
Assemble sieves and collecting pan in the following order from top to bottom; U.S. Standard Sieve No. 6, No. 12, No. 40, and pan. Place the weighed contents (to nearest gram) of a sample package on the top sieve and attach lid. Place assembly in a Ro-Tap® or equivalent mechanical shaking device and shake for 1 minute, in a room in which the relative humidity does not exceed 40 percent. Weigh product remaining on each sieve and in the collecting pan respectively. Calculate results in percentage and report results to the nearest 1.0 percent.
