SWEET CHERRY COMPOTE STERILISATION METHOD Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A23L3/00 A23L3/04 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to preservation industry. After sealing jars filled with compote are put into the carrier providing for the jars air-tightness. The jars are sprinkled with 60-65°C water during 3 minutes, then the jars are heated in 75°C water during 5 minutes with subsequent sprinkling with 85-90°C water during 3 minutes and heated in 100°C water during 10-25 minutes. Then one performs cooling in an atmospheric air flow at a rate of 2-3 m/s during 5 minutes with continuation of cooling in an atmospheric air flow at a rate of 7-8 m/s with alternate application of a 65-70°C water film on the jar surface during 7 minutes. During the heat treatment process the jars are turned upside down with a frequency equal to 0.1 s^-1.

EFFECT: invention ensures significant saving of heat energy and water, the process duration reduction, the technological cycle continuality and the ready product quality enhancement.
