ATCP 87.11(3)(3)“Degrees Brix” means the percentage by weight concentration of total soluble solids, mainly sugar, as measured using a refractometer calibrated at 68°F, and to which any applicable temperature correction has been made, or by any other method that gives equivalent results.
ATCP 87.11(4)(4)“Delicate taste” means a maple flavor of mild intensity.
ATCP 87.11(5)(5)“Department” means the Wisconsin department of agriculture, trade and consumer protection.

ATCP 87.11(9)(9)“Maple sap water” means sap from the trees of the genus Acer that has not been concentrated to a solids content of more than 4 percent, or 4 degrees Brix, and is a potentially hazardous food as defined in s. ATCP 70.02 (33).
ATCP 87.11(10)(10)“Maple syrup” means the liquid food derived by concentrating and heating sap from the trees of the genus Acer, as defined in 21 CFR 168.140, having a solids content of not less than 66 percent by weight, or 66 degrees Brix, and not containing added sweeteners.
ATCP 87.11(11)(11)“Non-shelf-stable concentrated maple sap” means sap from the trees of the genus Acer that has been concentrated using heating or other methods, has a solids content of more than 4 percent and less than 66 percent by weight, or from 4 to 66 degrees Brix, and will support microbial growth when stored at temperatures not lower than 41°F (5°C) or higher than 135°F (57°C).
ATCP 87.11(12)(12)“Off flavor or odor” means any specific and identifiable or unidentifiable flavor or odor that is not normally found in grade A maple syrup. Off flavors or odors may be related to natural factors or manufacturing practices, and may develop or be acquired during handling or storage.

ATCP 87.11(15)(15)“Robust taste” means a full-bodied maple flavor of higher than medium intensity.
ATCP 87.11(16)(16)“Shelf-stable concentrated maple sap” means sap from the trees of the genus Acer that has been concentrated using heating or other methods, has a solids content of less than 66 percent by weight, or less than 66 degrees Brix, and will not support microbial growth when stored at temperatures not lower than 41°F (5°C) or higher than 135°F (57°C).
ATCP 87.11(17)(17)“Strong taste” means a full-bodied maple flavor of high intensity.
ATCP 87.11(18)(18)“Taste” means the intensity of maple flavor.
ATCP 87.11(19)(19)“Turbidity” means the suspension of fine mineral particles in the maple syrup such that the syrup clarity is reduced.
