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

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of preservation industry, in particular, to methods for sterilisation of cherry compote in jars SKO 1 - 82-3000. The method involves sequential heating of the jars filled with compote in a 130°C air flow at a rate of 1.5-2 m/s during 35 minutes in 100°C water during 15 minutes. Then the jars are cooled in an atmospheric air flow at a rate of 7-8 m/s during 30 minutes. During the heat treatment process in the heated and the atmospheric air flows the jars filled with compote are turned upside down with a frequency equal to 0.33 s^-1.

EFFECT: invention ensures the ready product quality enhancement, the process duration reduction combined with simultaneous prevention of thermal breakage of jars and simplification of the implementation process and the apparatus design.
