METHOD FOR PRODUCING SWEET CHERRY COMPOTE Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A23L3/04 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: method includes preparing and packaging fruits with subsequent treatment in the microwave field with the frequency of 2400±50 MHz for 2.0 min. Then the fruits are poured with syrup with the temperature of 98 °C, re-treated with the same microwave field, the contents of the jars being heated to 90 °C for 1.0 min, and sealed. The jars are sterilized in water with the temperature of 95 °C for 18 min, without creating back pressure in the apparatus, the jars being in the "upside down" position. Thereinafter, they are subjected to cooling for 18 minutes in water, reducing its temperature from 95 to 40 °C.

EFFECT: shortening the duration of the heat treatment process and thereby improving the quality of the finished products, saving thermal energy and water, as well as the possibility of sterilising preserves in open-type apparatus without creating back pressure.
