SUBSTANCE: sweet cherry compote sterilisation method is as follows: jars filled with compote are sealed, put into the carrier ensuring mechanical air-tightness of the jars, heated in 150°C heated air flow at a rate of 2.75 m/s during 13 minutes. Then the jars are heated by way of showering with a 100°C hot water during 12 minutes with subsequent staged 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 process of heat treatment the jars are turned upside down with a frequency equal to 0.133 s^-1.

EFFECT: method ensures the heat treatment duration reduction, the ready product quality enhancement and prevention of thermal breakage of jars.
