Hey everyone!
We want to start formulating jam and jelly products to export into the USA. Below are the regulations I found for a "jam" in the states:
§ 150.160 Fruit preserves and jams.
(1) The mixture referred to in paragraph (a) of this section shall be composed of not less than:
(i) In the case of a fruit ingredient consisting of a Group I fruit or a permitted combination exclusively of Group I fruits, 47 parts by weight of the fruit ingredient to each 55 parts by weight of the saccharine ingredient;
I'm looking for an explanation/calculation on how to determine 47 parts fruit and 55 parts sugar in the formula. Thank you!
