TANGERINE COMPOTE PRODUCTION METHOD Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A23L3/04 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: fruits are packed into jars, 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 and heated in a 150°C air flow at a rate of 2-3 m/s during 4 minutes. Then the jars are heated by way of showering with a 100°C hot water during 10 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 heat treatment process 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, the ready product quality enhancement and the heat treatment duration reduction.
