TANGERINE COMPOTE STERILISATION METHOD Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A23L3/02 A23L3/00 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to preservation industry, in particular, to tangerine compote sterilisation method. One performs jars putting (after sealing) into the carrier ensuring mechanical air-tightness of the jars. One proceeds with simultaneous staged heating of some jars in baths filled with 60, 80 and 100°C water and 120°C calcium chloride solution during 4, 4, 4 and 3 minutes respectively and cooling of other jars in the same baths filled with 100, 80 and 60°C water during 4, 4 and 4 minutes with continuation of cooling in another bath at water temperature equal to 40°C during 4 minutes. During the heat treatment process the jar is turned upside down with a frequency equal to 0.1 s^-1.

EFFECT: invention implementation ensures the process duration reduction, preservation of biologically active components of the raw material used, boiled and cracked fruits quantity decrease, allows to simultaneously perform heating and cooling of jars filled with preserves in the same baths and thus promotes simplification of the heat treatment process and the apparatus design and ensures heat energy and water saving.
