METHOD FOR PRODUCING COMPOTE FROM TANGERINES Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A23L3/04 A23L2/42 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: method of production of tangerine compote includes the preparation and packaging of fruits in jars, filling of syrup and processing in a microwave oven with a frequency of 2,400+50 MHz and rarefaction at 75–80 kPa for 1.5 minutes. Then, the jars are sealed, installed in a carrier providing mechanical tightness of the jars, heated in an air stream at a temperature of 120 °C and a speed of 1.5 m/s for 15 minutes. Further, the carrier with the jars is transferred to the heating zone by the hot water showering with a temperature of 100 °C for 5 minutes followed by stepwise cooling in baths with water temperature 80 °C for 4 minutes, 60 °C for 4 min and 40 °C for 5 min. During the heat treatment process the jars are turned upside down with a frequency equal to 0.133 s^-1.

EFFECT: method ensures the process duration reduction and the end product quality enhancement.
