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

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: jars filled with compote are sealed, put into the carrier ensuring mechanical air-tightness, subjected to staged heating in a heated 120°C air flow at a rate of 2.75 m/sec during 20 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: invention ensures prevention of thermal breakage of jars, simplification of the sterilisation process and the apparatus design.
