RU2448547C2 - Apple compote sterilisation method - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to preservation industry. The method for sterilisation of apple compote in jars SKO 1-82-500 involves heating in an air flow at 130°C at a rate of 1.5 - 2 m/s during 23 minutes with subsequent maintenance during 15 minutes at heated air temperature equal to 92-95°C and cooling in an atmospheric air flow at 25-28°C at a rate of 7-8 m/s during 15 minutes. In the process of heating and cooling the jar is turned upside down with a frequency equal to 0.133 s^-1, maintenance is performed in a static state of the jars.

EFFECT: invention allows to save thermal energy and water as well as enhances the ready product quality due to reduction of thermal treatment duration.

Description

The invention relates to the canning industry, and in particular to methods for sterilizing apple compote in cans SKO 1-82-500.

Sources, which were searched by this method, showed that the prototype of the proposed method is a method of sterilizing compotes [1], the essence of which is that the rolled cans are placed in a sterilization apparatus (autoclave) and subjected to heat treatment according to the regime

where 20 is the duration of heating the water in the autoclave to 100 ° C, min; 25 - the duration of their own sterilization, min; 20 - cooling time, min; 118 - back pressure in the autoclave, kPa; 100 - sterilization temperature, ° C.

The disadvantages of this method are:

- the long duration of the heat treatment process, which affects the quality of the finished product;

- uneven heat treatment of different layers of the product in the bank (the temperature difference between the central and peripheral layers reaches 6-8 ° C and, accordingly, the magnitude of the sterilizing effects are not the same; the peripheral layers receive excessive heat exposure);

- high consumption of thermal energy and water.

The aim of the proposed method is to reduce the duration of the heat treatment process, save heat energy and water and improve the quality of the finished product.

This goal is achieved due to the fact that according to the proposed method, the cans with compote after seaming are installed in a special carrier that provides mechanical tightness of the cans, and subjected to heating in an air stream with a temperature of 130 ° C and a speed of 1.5-2 m / s for 23 min with simultaneous rotation of the can from “bottom to cover” with a frequency of 0.133 s ^-1 , followed by exposure for 15 minutes at a temperature of 92-95 ° C in a static state of the cans and cooling in a stream of atmospheric air with a temperature of 25-28 ° C and a speed of 7 -8 m / s for 15 min t, and wherein the jar is rotated to the "bottoms on the lid" frequency of 0.133 s ^-1.

An example of the method

Cans with compote after sealing the lid are installed in a carrier that provides mechanical tightness (to prevent the lid from tearing off during heating) and placed in a chamber where heated air circulates with a temperature of t _in = 130 ° C and a speed of 1.5-2 m / s, and for 23 minutes the contents of the cans are heated while the cans are rotated from the “bottom to the lid” with a frequency of 0.133 s ^-1 , then the carrier with the cans is transferred to a holding chamber with heated air at a temperature of 92-95 ° C for 15 minutes, where the cans are kept static state with after uyuschim transfer to the chamber for cooling air flow temperature of 25-28 ° C and a speed of 7-8 m / s for 15 minutes and rotating cans "bottoms on the lid" with a frequency of 0.133 s ^-1.

The salient features of the proposed method are: the compote is heated in a stream of air at a temperature of 130 ° C and a speed of 1.5-2 m / s for 23 minutes while the cans are rotated from bottom to top at a frequency of 0.133 s ^-1 , followed by exposure to the chamber at a temperature of 92-95 ° C for 15 min in a static state with further cooling in a stream of atmospheric air with a temperature of 25-28 ° C at a speed of 7-8 m / s for 15 min and the cans are rotated from “bottom to cover” with a frequency of 0.133 s ^-1 .

This mode ensures the industrial sterility of canned food, which is confirmed by the magnitude of the sterilizing effect, which corresponds to the normative value of 150-200 conventional. min

In addition, the proposed method in comparison with the prototype provides significant savings in thermal energy, completely eliminates the use of water in the process of thermal sterilization and provides improved quality of the finished product by reducing the duration of heating and rotation and ensuring uniformity of heat treatment.
