Abstract

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry and may be used for cucumbers preservation. The method envisages cucumbers packing into jars and pouring with 85°C water for 2-3 minutes. Then the cucumbers are repeatedly poured with 95°C water for 2-3 minutes. Then the jars are poured with 98°C pickle filling. Then the jars are sealed and put into the carrier. One proceeds with sterilisation in 85°C water during 8 minutes and transfer into 100°C water for 12 minutes. The jars are cooled down in an air flow at a rate of 7-8 m/s during 25 minutes. During the heat treatment process the jars are turned upside down with a frequency equal to 0.25 s^-1.

EFFECT: invention allows to reduce duration of the process, decrease consumption of heat energy, water and electric energy as well as prevent thermal breakage of containers and enhance the ready product quality.

Description

The proposed method for the invention relates to the canning industry and can be used for sterilization of slightly acid pickles from cucumbers in banks 1-82-2000.

Sources, which were searched by this method, showed that the prototype of the proposed method is a method of sterilization of canned food "Pickled cucumbers" in an autoclave [1] according to the mode

where 25 is the duration of the period of heating water to 100 ° C, min;

10 - the length of the period of its own sterilization at 100 ° C, min;

25 - the duration of the cooling period, min;

100 - sterilization temperature ° C;

147-167 - back pressure in the autoclave, kPa.

The disadvantages of this method are:

- long duration of the process;

- uneven heat treatment of the product;

- high consumption of thermal energy and water;

- the frequency of the technological cycle.

The aim of the proposed method is to save thermal energy, water, reducing the duration of the process and ensuring the continuity of the process of thermal sterilization.

The specified technical result is achieved due to the fact that according to the proposed method, cucumbers after preliminary preparation are packaged in cans and filled with water at a temperature of 85 ° C for 2-3 minutes, followed by the replacement of this water with water at a temperature of 95 ° C for 2-3 minutes, then replace the water with a marinade filling with a temperature of 98 ° C, then roll up the cans, install in a special carrier that provides mechanical tightness of the cans (preventing the caps from breaking off during heat treatment), and sterilize them in a bath of water at a temperature of 85 ° C for 8 min and 100 ° C for 12 min, followed by cooling in a stream of atmospheric air at its speed of 7-8 m / s for 25 min and during heat treatment, the cans rotate from the bottom to the lid with a frequency of 0 , 25 s ^-1 .

An example implementation of the method.

Before pouring with brine, pour hot water at a temperature of 85 ° C for 3 minutes in a jar with cucumbers laid, then replace this water with water at a temperature of 95 ° C for 3 minutes, after which the water is replaced with a marinade fill at a temperature of 98 ° C, the cans are rolled up, installed in a carrier that provides mechanical tightness (preventing caps from tearing off during heat treatment), and placed in a hot water bath at 85 ° C for 8 minutes. After 8 minutes, the carrier with the cans is transferred to a water bath at a temperature of 100 ° C for 12 minutes. After this time, the banks are cooled in a stream of atmospheric air at a speed of 7-8 m / s for 25 minutes. Moreover, in the process of heat treatment, the cans rotate from the bottom to the lid with a frequency of 0.25 s ^-1 .

Preheating the cucumbers in stages with water at temperatures of 85 and 95 ° C provides an increase in the initial temperature of the canned food and allows you to fill the cans with marinade filling at a temperature of 98 ° C, which significantly reduces the inefficient loss of thermal energy for cooling it from 100 ° C (cooking temperature of the marinade fill) to the pouring temperature in cans, since according to the current technological instructions, the temperature of the brine during pouring should be 85 ° С.

Salient features of the proposed method are: two-stage preliminary heating of cucumbers in cans with water at temperatures of 85 and 95 ° C for 2-3 minutes, respectively, followed by sterilization in water at temperatures of 85 and 100 ° C, respectively, 8 and 12 minutes, followed by cooling in an atmospheric stream air at its speed of 7-8 m / s for 25 minutes

This mode provides a reduction in the duration of the process and thereby improving the quality of the finished product, saving heat energy and water, as well as the continuity of the process.
