FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method for production of guacamole fir for long-term storage. According to the invention the method involves the following operations: mixing avocado pulp with ingredients for guacamole production: acid for production of a mixture based on avocado with pH less than nearly 4.6, an antimicrobial additive and an additive preventing browning, packing the said guacamole for production of packed guacamole in a sealed container containing a material with oxygen-permeability less than one cubic centimetre of oxygen per square metre of the material in a day, treatment of packed guacamole with pressure at least 90000 pounds per square inch during at least 20 seconds, heating packed guacamole prior to packing till temperature is 130°F - 160°F. According to the invention packed guacamole contains ingredients with low content of bacteria, avocado pulp, has pH less than 4.6, a zero rate of bacterial growth measured under pH less than 4.6.

EFFECT: method allows to produce guacamole fit for long-term storage; the said guacamole preserves green colour, consistency, desired taste and sterility for at least 3 months at room temperature.
