CHERRY COMPOTE STERILISATION METHOD Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A23L3/00 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to preservation industry. The method envisages jars sealing, putting into the carrier that ensures mechanical air-tightness of the jars and heating in 70°C hot water for 5 minutes. Then the jars are transferred into 85°C water for 5 minutes and then into 100°C water for 15-20 minutes. Then one performs cooling in 18-20°C air flow at a rate of 5-6 m/s during 7 minutes and cooling in an air flow at a rate of 7-8 m/s with application of a 65-70°C water film on the jar surface during 8 minutes. During the heat treatment process the jars are turned upside down with a frequency equal to 0.166 s^-1.

EFFECT: method ensures finished products quality improvement due to reduced process time and thermal energy saving.
