METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF FOOD PRODUCTS WITH HEAT PUMP USAGE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A23L3/00 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry. The set technical task is solved as follows: the method for food products manufacture using a heat pump involves preparation of raw components selected from among animal and/or fish and/or poultry meat and/or vegetables and/or fruits and/or flour and/or grits and/or milk or cultured milk products and/or spices to form food products, the products placement into flexible bags of a thermally-resistant material in an amount of 9.0-10.0 g of the food product weight per 1 cm² of the flexible bag area, vacuum treatment with vacuum gradient equal to 1.5-2.0%/sec. till the vacuum value is equal to 97-99.9%, sealing, thermal treatment at a temperature of 55.0-70.0°C during 10-20 minutes, cooling with cooling gradient equal to 0.9-1.0°C/min. till the temperature is equal to 3.0-5.0°C.

EFFECT: invention allows to enhance energy efficiency and environmental friendliness due to organisation of closed recirculation circuits for the heat carrier circulation as well as to reduce thermal treatment duration and enhance quality of the food product.
