6.5.2 Washed drained weight procedures.
(a) Select five sample units of one type of pie filling at random from the lot. Determine and record the net weight of each sample. Transfer the contents of the first sample unit to a flat bottom container.
(b) Add a minimum of three times the sample's volume of 20-22oC (68-72oF) water to the container so as to cover the contents. Gently agitate to separate the fruit from the slurry without breaking up the fruit pieces.
(c) Nest a U.S. Standard No. 8 sieve above a U.S. Standard No. 20 sieve and record the dry screens as the tare weight. Distribute the product evenly over the sieve without breaking the fruit. Tilt sieve at about a 45o angle and allow to drain for two minutes. Determine and record the washed drained weight by subtracting the tare weight of the sieve from
the weight of the fruit ingredients. Convert to percent by dividing the drained fruit ingredients by the net weight of the sample and multiply the results by 100. Catch the additional fruit particles that fall through the U.S. Standard No. 8 sieve with a U.S. Standard No. 20 sieve. Add the fruit weight from the U.S. Standard No. 20 sieve to the fruit weight from U.S. Standard No. 8 sieve to determine final drained weight. Divide the resulting drained weight by the net weight of the sample and multiply by 100 to obtain the percent washed drained weight. Repeat this procedure for each of the remaining sample units. Any individual sample more than two percent under the requirement or a sample average less than the requirement shall be cause for rejection of the lot.
