TANGERINE COMPOTE PRODUCTION METHOD Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A23L3/04 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention is intended for usage in food industry, in particular, for tangerine compote production in jar SKO 1-82-500. The method envisages fruits pouring with 85°C water for 2-3 minutes, subsequent replacement of the water with 97-98°C syrup. Then the jars are sealed, put into the carrier ensuring mechanical air-tightness of the jars, sequentially heated in a 150°C air flow at a rate of 8-9 m/s during 2 minutes and showered with 100°C water during 15 minutes. Then one performs staged cooling of the jars in baths filled with 80°C water for 4 minutes, with 60°C water for 4 minutes, with 40°C water for 5 minutes. During the whole process of heat treatment the jars are turned upside down with a frequency equal to 0.133 s^-1.

EFFECT: invention ensures reduction of heat treatment process, enhancement of the ready product quality, saving of thermal energy and water.
