FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to preservation industry, in particular, to a method for sterilisation of pickled tomatoes in jars SKO 1-82-1000. The method involves heating jars filled with pickled tomatoes after sealing in 120-122°C air flow at a rate of 8 - 9 m/s during 15 minutes with subsequent maintenance during 8 minutes at heated air temperature equal to 105°C and subsequent cooling in an atmospheric air flow at 20-22°C at a rate of 7-8 m/s during 18 minutes. During the heat treatment process the jar is subjected to interrupted turning upside down during 2-3-minutes with a frequency equal to 0.166 sec^-1 with a 2-3 minute interval.

EFFECT: invention ensures heat treatment uniformity and intensification, boiled and cracked fruits quantity reduction, preservation of biologically active components of the raw materials used, the production process duration reduction.
