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

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: method of production tangerine compote includes preparation and packaging of fruits in cans, filling of syrup and processing in a microwave oven with a frequency of 2,400 ± 50 MHz and vacuum of 75–80 kPa for 1.5 minutes. Then, the cans are sealed, installed in a carrier providing mechanical tightness of the cans, treated with heat in a stream of air at a temperature of 120 °C and a speed of 5–6 m/s for 8 minutes. Further, the carrier with the cans is transferred to the heating zone by the hot water showering with a temperature of 100 °C for 8 minutes followed by stepwise cooling in baths with water temperature 80 °C for 4 min, 60 °C for 4 min and 40 °C for 5 min. During the whole process of heat treatment, the cans rotate from the bottom to the lid at a frequency of 0.133 s^-1.

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