FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the filed of preservation industry, in particular, to a method for sterilisation of cherry compote in jars SKO 1-82-1000. The method involves sequential heating of the jars filled with compote in a 140°C air flow at a rate of 1.5-2 m/s during 17 minutes in 100°C water during 12 minutes. Then the jars are cooled in an atmospheric air flow at a rate of 7-8 m/s during 20 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 0.166 s^-1.

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