METHOD OF PRODUCING APPLE COMPOTE Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A23L3/04 A23L2/42 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: method of production apple compote includes preparation and packaging of fruits in cans and their subsequent processing in a microwave oven with a frequency of 2400±+50 MHz and a rarefaction of 75-80 kPa for 1.5-2 minutes. Then cans are sealed, installed in a carrier, providing mechanical tightness of the cans, and heated in an air stream at a temperature of 130°C and speed of 2.5 m/s for 10 minutes. Continue heating by showering with hot water at a temperature of 100°C for 10 minutes, followed by cooling in a stream of atmospheric air at a temperature of 20-25°C and a speed of 6-7 m/s for 15 minutes. During the heat treatment process the cans are turned upside down with a frequency equal to 0.12 s^-1.

EFFECT: method ensures the heat treatment process duration reduction, removal of air from fruits and cans, and thereby improving the quality of finished products.
