METHOD FOR PRODUCING SWEET CHERRY COMPOTE Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A23L3/40 A23L3/01 A23L21/10 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: method involves preparing and packaging fruits with subsequent treatment in the microwave field with the frequency of 2400±50 MHz during 2.0 min. Then the fruits are poured with syrup with the temperature of 98°C, re-treated with the same microwave field for 2.5 minutes, heating the contents of the jars to 90°C, and sealed. Thereinafter the jars are sterilized in water with the temperature of 95°C for 25 minutes without creating back pressure in the apparatus, the jars being in the "upside down" position. Thereinafter, they are subjected to cooling for 22 min in water, reducing its temperature from 95 to 40°C.

EFFECT: invention allows to shorten the duration of the heat treatment process and thereby to improve the quality of the finished product; besides, it allows to save thermal energy and water, and also provides the possibility of sterilisation of preserves in open-type apparatuses without creating back pressure.
