TANGERINE COMPOTE PRODUCTION METHOD Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A23L1/212 A23L3/00 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: fruits are poured with 85°C hot water for 2-3 min which is then replaced with 97-98°C syrup. The jars filled with compote are sealed, put into the carrier ensuring mechanical air-tightness of the jars, sequentially heated in a 120°C air flow at a rate of 5-6 m/s during 10 minutes and showered with 100°C hot water during 10 minutes. The jars are stepwise cooled 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 ensures the process duration reduction, preservation of natural components of the raw material, reduction of boiled fruits quantity, prevention of thermal breakage of the containers, enhancement of nutritive value of the product, more complete preservation of biologically active components of the raw material, prime cost reduction and the ready product competitiveness increase.
