SUBSTANCE: invention relates to preservation industry and may be used for sterilisation of tangerine compote in jars SKO 1-82-1000. The method is as follows: jars with compote are put into the carrier ensuring prevention of caps stripping in the process of heating; compote heating is performed in 140°C air flow at a rate of 1.5 - 2 m/s during 20 minutes with subsequent maintenance at a temperature of 95°C during 15 minutes and cooling in 20-25°C air flow at a rate of 7-8 m/s during 12 minutes. During each heat treatment process the jar is subjected to interrupted 2-3-minute turning upside down with a frequency equal to 0.1 sec^-1 with a 2-3 minute interval.

EFFECT: invention ensures more complete preservation of natural components of the used raw materials, decrease of boiled and cracked fruits quantity, enhancement of nutritive and biological value of the product, reduction of duration of the process of mechanical friction of fruits in jars, improvement of structural-and-mechanical characteristics of the ready product and prevention of syrup feculence.
