METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF SWEET CHERRY COMPOTE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A23L3/00 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry and may be used for production of sweet cherry compote in jars SKO 1-82-500. The method involves fruits pouring with 60°C hot water during 2-3 minutes, with subsequent replacement of the water with 85°C syrup. Then the jars are sealed, put into the carrier ensuring mechanical air-tightness of the jars, sequentially heated in a 140°C air flow at a rate of 5-6 m/s during 7 minutes. Then the jars are showered with 100°C water during 12 minutes with subsequent stage cooling in baths with 80°C water during 4 minutes, with 60°C water during 4 minutes and with 40°C water during 5 minutes. During the whole heat treatment process the jars are turned upside down with a frequency equal to 0.133 s^-1.

EFFECT: invention allows to ensure thermal energy saving and the ready product quality enhancement due to heat treatment duration reduction and uniformity.
