Standard deviations varied from 2 to 4.6% of the actual readings. Variability was least for samples of apricot and peach nectar and the pineapplegrapefruit drink and greatest for the papaya nectar, probably due to can-to-can variation. The capillary viscometer method is accurate for measuring the consistency of fruit nectars and other fruit juice products, The method was recommended for adoption as official, first action
