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

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: jars are sealed and put into the carrier ensuring mechanical air-tightness. Then one performs the jars heating in a heated 150°C air flow at a rate of 8.5-9 m/s during 8 minutes. Then one proceeds with heating in a bath with 100°C hot water during 12 minutes with subsequent cooling 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 are turned upside down with a frequency equal to 0.166 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.
