Main Group 9: Fruits and fruit products

 

Classification policies

Group 9 classification

Inclusions:
  1. Fruiting body of a plant when this is consumed as a dessert fruit
  2. A food product whose predominant constituent is fruit, including fruit sauces with a single fruit as the predominant constituent
  3. A recipe dish whose main ingredient is considered to be fruit

Exclusions:
  1. Fruiting body of a plant when this is consumed as a vegetable, see Vegetables and vegetable products
  2. Seeds, kernels or nuts, including pulses, see Pulses, seeds, kernels, nuts and their products
  3. Oils produced from fruits, see Oils, fats and their products
  4. Chutney and pickles produced from fruit, see Chutney and pickles in the Miscellaneous foods main group

Policies:
  1. A fruiting body is usually considered to be consumed as a dessert fruit when the starch content has been reduced by conversion during ripening to sugars.

Revisions:
  1. New codes have been assigned. The system is described in Discussion Note N003: Revised hierarchical food codes.
  2. The Core Classification version 98/1 category for Stone fruit has been split into Prunus species fruit and Other stone fruit.
  3. In version 99/2, Avocado and Olive have been moved from the Other stone fruit subgroup and added to the Fruit vegetables subgroup in the Vegetables and vegetable products main group.

Discussion:
  1. The number of categories in the Miscellaneous fruit subgroup has been reduced by the reassignment of some items as Vegetable fruits (in the Vegetables and vegetable products main group) or as Other stone fruits. Others might be considered Berries. However it is likely that further fruits will need to be added, mostly to the present Miscellaneous fruit subgroup. A category for Tropical fruit is sometimes used but the definition of its use is likely to be difficult. Any suggestions for improving the subdivision of the present Miscellaneous foods category (and/or its logical order) would be appreciated.
  2. It has been suggested that Malaceous fruit is an obscure name for the first subgroup. It might be called Apple-family fruits or given the taxonomic family name, but it is questionable whether either of these alternatives represents an improvement. Any further comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
