RU2449620C2 - Pear and quince compote sterilisation method - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry. The method for sterilisation of pear and quince compote in jars SKO 1-82-1000 involves heating in an air flow at 120-122°C at a rate of 1.5 - 2 m/s during 36 minutes with subsequent maintenance during 8-10 minutes at heated air temperature equal to 95-100°C and cooling in an atmospheric air flow at 25-28°C at a rate of 7-8 m/s during 16 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 ensure significant saving of thermal energy and water .

Description

The proposed method for the invention relates to the canning industry, and in particular to methods for sterilizing compote from pears and quinces in cans SKO 1-82-500.

Sources that were searched by this method showed that the prototype of the proposed method is a method for 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; (25-30) - duration of 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 get excessive heat); 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 120-122 ° C and a speed of 1.5-2 m / s for 36 min with simultaneous rotation of the can from the “bottom to the lid” with a frequency of 0.133 s ^-1 , followed by exposure in the air stream for 8-10 minutes at a temperature of 95-100 ° C in a static state of the cans and cooling in a stream of atmospheric air with a temperature of 25 -28 ° C and speed 7-8 m / s for 16 minutes and at the same time the jar is rotated from the “bottom to the lid” with a frequency of 0.133 s ^-1 .

An example implementation of the method.

Jars 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 = 120-122 ° C and a speed of 1.5-2 m / s, and for 36 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 the holding chamber with heated air at a temperature of 95-100 ° C for 8-10 minutes where banks are kept in a static state followed by transfer to the chamber for cooling in a stream of air temperature 25-28 ° C and a speed of 7-8 m / s for 16 minutes and rotating cans "bottoms on the lid" with a frequency of 0.133 s ^-1.

Salient features of the proposed method are: the compote is heated in an air stream with a temperature of 120-122 ° C and a speed of 1.5-2 m / s for 36 minutes while the cans are rotated from the “bottom to the lid” with a frequency of 0.133 s ^-1 followed by holding in a chamber at a temperature of 95-100 ° C for 8-10 minutes in a static state with further cooling in a stream of atmospheric air at a temperature of 25-28 ° C at a speed of 7-8 m / s for 16 minutes and rotating cans with bottom on the 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.
