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

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry. Jars filled with compote are put into the carrier ensuring their air-tightness and heated in 70°C water during 3 minutes with subsequent transfer into 85°C water for 5 minutes and then - into 100°C water for 10 minutes. Then one performs the jars cooling in an air flow at a rate of 3-4 m/s during 7 minutes with further 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 8 minutes. During the heat treatment process the jar is turned upside down with a frequency equal to 0.166 s^-1.

EFFECT: invention allows to reduce thermal treatment duration and decrease treatment non-uniformity.
