§ 810.2001 - Definition of triticale.
Grain that, before the removal of dockage, consists of 50 percent or more of triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack) and not more than 10 percent of other grains for which standards have been established under the United States Grain Standards Act and that, after the removal of dockage, contains 50 percent or more of whole triticale.
§ 810.2002 - Definition of other terms.
(a) Damaged kernels. Kernels, pieces of triticale kernels, and other grains that are badly ground-damaged, badly weather-damaged, diseased, frost-damaged, germ-damaged, heat-damaged, insect-bored, mold-damaged, sprout-damaged, or otherwise materially damaged.
(b) Defects. Damaged kernels, foreign material, and shrunken and broken kernels. The sum of these three factors may not exceed the limit for the factor defects for each numerical grade.
(c) Dockage. All matter other than triticale that can be removed from the original sample by use of an approved device according to procedures prescribed in FGIS instructions. Also, underdeveloped, shriveled, and small pieces of triticale kernels removed in properly separating the material other than triticale and that cannot be recovered by properly rescreening or recleaning.
(d) Foreign material. All matter other than triticale.
(e) Heat-damaged kernels. Kernels, pieces of triticale kernels, and other grains that are materially discolored and damaged by heat.
(f) Other grains. Barley, corn, cultivated buckwheat, einkorn, emmer, flaxseed, guar, hull-less barley, nongrain sorghum, oats, Polish wheat, popcorn, poulard wheat, rice, rye, safflower, sorghum, soybeans, spelt, sunflower seed, sweet corn, wheat, and wild oats.
(g) Shrunken and broken kernels. All matter that passes through a 0.064 × 3/8 oblong-hole sieve after sieving according to procedures prescribed in FGIS instructions.
(h) Sieve—0.064 × 3/8 oblong-hole sieve. A metal sieve 0.032 inch thick with oblong perforations 0.064 inch by 0.375 (3/8) inch.
Principles Governing the Application of Standards
§ 810.2003 - Basis of determination.
Each determination of heat-damaged kernels, damaged kernels, material other than wheat or rye, and foreign material (total) is made on the basis of the grain when free from dockage and shrunken and broken kernels. Other determinations not specifically provided for under the general provisions are made on the basis of the grain when free from dockage except the determination of odor is made on either the basis of the grain as a whole or the grain when free from dockage.
Grades and Grade Requirements
§ 810.2004 - Grades and grade requirements for triticale.
| Grade | Minimum test weight per bushel (pounds) | Maximum limits of— | Damaged Kernels | Foreign material | Shrunken and broken kernels (percent) | Defects 3 (percent) | Heat damaged (percent) | Total 1 (percent) | Material other than wheat or rye (percent) | Total 2 (percent) | U.S. No. 1 | 48.0 | 0.2 | 2.0 | 1.0 | 2.0 | 5.0 | 5.0 | U.S. No. 2 | 45.0 | 0.2 | 4.0 | 2.0 | 4.0 | 8.0 | 8.0 | U.S. No. 3 | 43.0 | 0.5 | 8.0 | 3.0 | 7.0 | 12.0 | 12.0 | U.S. No. 4 | 41.0 | 3.0 | 15.0 | 4.0 | 10.0 | 20.0 | 20.0 | U.S. Sample grade— | U.S. Sample grade is triticale that: | (a) Does not meet the requirements for the grades U.S. Nos. 1, 2, 3, or 4; or | (b) Contains 8 or more stones or any number of stones which have an aggregate weight in excess of 0.2 percent of the sample weight, 2 or more pieces of glass, 3 or more crotalaria seeds ( | (c) Has a musty, sour, or commercially objectionable foreign odor (except smut or garlic odor); or | (d) Is heating or otherwise of distinctly low quality. |
|---|
1 Includes heat-damaged kernels.
2 Includes material other than wheat or rye.
3 Defects include damaged kernels (total), foreign material (total) and shrunken and broken kernels. The sum of these three factors may not exceed the limit for defects for each numerical grade.
Special Grades and Special Grade Requirements
§ 810.2005 - Special grades and special grade requirements.
(a) Ergoty triticale. Triticale that contains more than 0.10 percent of ergot.
(b) Garlicky triticale. Triticale that contains in a 1,000 gram portion more than six green garlic bulblets or an equivalent quantity of dry or partly dry bulblets.
(c) Light garlicky triticale. Triticale that contains in a 1,000 gram portion two or more, but not more than six, green garlic bulblets or an equivalent quantity of dry or partly dry bulblets.
(d) Light smutty triticale. Triticale that has an unmistakable odor of smut, or that contains in a 250 gram portion smut balls, portions of smut balls, or spores of smut in excess of a quantity equal to 14 smut balls, but not in excess of a quantity equal to 30 smut balls of average size.
(e) Smutty triticale. Triticale that contains in a 250 gram portion smut balls, portions of smut balls, or spores of smut in excess of a quantity equal to 30 smut balls of average size.
