DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS OF TERMS § 52.1028 Stages of maturity.

(a) Well matured. A "well-matured" dried fig means a dried fig which is well developed and in which the interior shows very good sugary tissue develop

ment that is sirupy and gumlike in consistency and texture.

(b) Reasonably well matured. A "reasonably well-matured" dried fig means a dried fig which is reasonably well developed and in which (1) the in

are markedly light-colored figs.

(c) Fairly well matured. A "fairly well-matured" dried fig means a dried fig which is fairly well developed and in which (1) the sugary tissue in the interior of the fig is gummy and fibrous in consistency and texture, or (2) onethird or less of the interior of the fig may be entirely lacking in sugary tissue, if the remainder of the interior of the fig is gummy but slightly fibrous in consistency and texture, or (3) more than one-third, but less than one-half, of the interior of the fig may be entirely lacking in sugary tissue, if the remainder of the interior of the fig is sirupy and gumlike in consistency and texture.

§ 52.1029 Degrees of uniformity of size. Uniformity of size applies to Style I (b), whole, pulled, figs and Style I (c), whole, layered, figs, where the original shape has been materially changed.

(a) Practically uniform in size. "Practically uniform in size” means that not more than a total of 10 percent, by count, of dried figs may be conspicuously larger or smaller than the approximate average size of the dried figs in the container.

(b) Reasonably uniform in size. "Reasonably uniform in size" means that not more than a total of 15 percent, by count, of dried figs may be conspicuously larger or smaller than the approximate average size of the dried figs in the container.

(c) Fairly uniform in size. "Fairly uniform in size" means that not more than a total of 20 percent, by count, of dried figs may be conspicuously larger or smaller than the approximate average size of the dried figs in the container. § 52.1030 Degrees of uniformity of color.

(a) White figs-(1) Practically uniform typical color. "Practically uniform typical

to white varieties means, with respect

of dried figs that are light in color, that there may be not more than 5 percent, by count, of dried figs that are markedly dark figs; and, with respect to white varieties that are dark in color, that there may be not more than

(2) Reasonably uniform typical color. "Reasonably uniform typical color” means, with respect to white varieties of dried figs that are light in color, that there may be not more than 10 percent, by count, of dried figs that are markedly dark figs; and, with respect to white varieties that are dark in color, that there may be not more than 10 percent, by count, of dried figs that are markedly light-colored figs.

(3) Fairly uniform typical color. "Fairly uniform typical color" means, with respect to white varieties of dried figs that are light in color or are very light green in color, that there may be not more than 20 percent, by count, of dried figs that are markedly dark figs; and, with respect to white varieties that are dark in color, that there may be not more than 20 percent, by count, of dried figs that are markedly light-colored figs.

(b) Black figs-(1) Practically uniform typical color. “Practically uniform typical color" means, with respect to Black varieties of dried figs, that the color is practically uniform and a typical natural black or dark reddish-brown color of dried figs and that not more than 10 percent, by count, of the dried figs may be, singly or in combination:

(1) Affected by very light-colored scars which are not calloused and which, singly or in the aggregate on a whole dried fig, are more than one-eighth but less than one-half of the exterior surface of the dried fig; or

(ii) Seriously damaged by scars or disease (as defined in § 52.1031 (b)) which affect the color of the dried fig.

(2) Reasonably uniform typical color. "Reasonably uniform typical color” means, with respect to Black varieties of dried figs, that the color is reasonably uniform and a typical natural black or dark reddish-brown color of dried figs and that not more than 20 percent, by count, of the dried figs may be, singly or in combination:

(3) Fairly uniform typical color. "Fairly uniform typical color" means, with respect to Black varieties of dried figs, that the color is fairly uniform and a typical natural black or dark reddishbrown color of dried figs and that not more than 30 percent, by count, of the dried figs may be, singly or in combination:

(i) Affected by very light-colored scars which are not calloused and which, singly or in the aggregate on a whole dried fig, are more than one-fourth but less than one-half of the exterior surface of the dried fig; or

(ii) Seriously damaged by scars or disease (as defined in § 52.1031 (b)), which affect the color of the dried fig. $ 52.1031 Definitions of defects.

(a) Damaged by scars or disease. "Damaged by scars or disease" means that the area of tough or calloused scars, singly or in the aggregate on a dried fig or portion of a dried fig, is equal to, or exceeds, the area of a circle % inch in diameter but is less than the area of a circle 1⁄2 inch in diameter.

(b) Seriously damaged by scars or disease. "Seriously damaged by scars or disease" means that the area of tough or calloused scars, singly or in the aggregate on a dried fig or portion of a dried fig, is equal to, or exceeds, the area of a circle 1⁄2 inch in diameter. Figs which possess very light-colored scars that are not calloused are considered as "seriously damaged by scars" if such scars, singly or in the aggregate on a whole dried fig, are equal to one-half or more of the exterior surface of the dried fig.

(c) Damaged by sunburn. "Damaged by sunburn" means any substantial damage from excessive heat to the skin evidenced by dry and tough surface areas.

(d) Seriously damaged by sunburn. “Seriously damaged by sunburn” means any substantial damage from excessive heat to the skin evidenced by dry and tough surface areas and which damage is accompanied by a lack of sugary tissue affecting one-third or more of the interior of a dried fig.

? (f) Seriously damaged by mechanical injury. “Seriously damaged by mechanical injury" means injury to the styles of whole dried figs as follows: (1) In Style I (a), Whole, loose, figs and Style I (b), Whole, pulled, figs, the seed tissue is mashed out beyond the outer wall or there are excessive skin breaks which affect materially the appearance of the dried figs for the applicable style; (2) in Style I (c), Whole, layered, figs, there are excessive skin breaks (other than the normal splitting for the style) to the extent that a dried fig cannot be identified as a whole, layered, fig.

(g) Damaged by visible sugaring. “Damaged by visible sugaring" means white sugar crystals which form on the exterior surface of a dried fig or portion of a dried fig so as to damage materially the appearance. Units showing a few lightly sugared spots are not considered as "Damaged by visible sugaring” unless singly or in combination with other defective units they affect the appearance or edibility, or both, for the respective grade.

(h) Damaged by other similar defects. "Damaged by other similar defects" includes any exposed (external or cut surface) injury or defect not specifically mentioned (such as abnormally discolored areas other than from scars, disease, or sunburn) which more than slightly affects the appearance, edibility, or keeping quality of the dried figs, except that stems which attach the fig to the twig of the tree are not considered as "damage by other similar defects."

(i) Seriously damaged by other similar defects. "Seriously damaged by other similar defects" includes any exposed (external or cut surface) injury or defect not specifically mentioned (such as abnormally discolored areas other than from scars, disease, or sunburn) which affects materially the appearance, edibility, or keeping quality of the dried figs, except that stems which attach the fig to the twig of the tree are not considered as "seriously damaged by other similar defects." $ 52.1032
