RU2462101C1 - Grape compote sterilisation method - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: method involves four-stage heating of grape compote in 55, 70, 85 and 100°C water for 8, 8, 8 and 30 minutes respectively with subsequent four-stage cooling during 8, 8, 8 and 8 minutes. Heating and cooling at water temperature equal to 55, 70 and 85°C are performed in the same baths while cooling at a temperature of 40°C is performed in a separate bath.

EFFECT: method ensures saving heating energy and water, the process duration reduction, the end product quality enhancement.

Description

The invention relates to the canning industry and can be used for sterilization of compote from grapes in cans SKO 1-82-3000.

Sources, which were searched by this method, showed that the prototype of the proposed method is a method of sterilizing compote from grapes [1], according to which the cans after seaming are installed in a special carrier that provides mechanical tightness of the cans and are preheated in a bath with water at a temperature of 55 ° C for 5 min, followed by transfer to baths with water at a temperature of 70 ° C for 5 min, 85 ° C for 10 min, and 100 ° C for 40 min, followed by cooling in a stream of atmospheric air at 7 ÷ e speed of 8 m / s for 30 minutes, and during the heat treatment with the bottom cans rotate on the lid at a frequency of 0.33 sec ^-1.

The disadvantages of this method are:

- long duration of the process;

- high consumption of thermal energy and water.

The aim of the proposed method is to save thermal energy, water, reducing the duration of the process and thereby improving the quality of the finished product.

This goal is achieved due to the fact that the cans after seaming are installed in a special carrier that provides mechanical tightness of the cans and are preheated in the first bath with water at a temperature of 55 ° C for 8 minutes, followed by transfer to the second, third and fourth baths with water, respectively, 70 ° C for 8 min, 85 ° C for 8 min and 100 ° C for 30 min, followed by cooling in the third, second and first baths with water at 85, 70, 55 ° C for 8, respectively 8 and 8 min and continued cooling occur during the fifth temperature water bath at 40 ° C for 8 min.

An example implementation of the method.

Cans with compote after sealing are installed in a carrier that provides mechanical tightness (preventing the caps from breaking during the heat treatment), and placed in a hot water bath at 55 ° C for 8 minutes. After 8 minutes, the carrier with the jars is transferred to a water bath at a temperature of 70 ° C for 8 min, then to a bath of water at a temperature of 85 ° C for 8 min, followed by transfer to a bath of water at a temperature of 100 ° C for 30 min. After this time, the cans are cooled in the same baths: in the third bath at a water temperature of 85 ° C for 8 min, in the second bath at a water temperature of 70 ° C for 8 min and in the first bath for 8 min at a water temperature of 55 ° C, in which the next batch of cans is simultaneously heated, with further cooling continued in the fifth bath at a water temperature of 40 ° C for 8 minutes.

The use of staged cooling of compote in the same bathtubs where heating is carried out provides significant savings in heat energy and water, since with this design of heat treatment, the heat given off by banks cooled in the same bathtubs is used to heat canned food, already cooked.

Salient features of the proposed method are: four-stage heating of compote in water at temperatures of 55, 70, 85 and 100 ° C, respectively, 8, 8, 8 and 30 minutes, followed by four-stage cooling for 8, 8, 8 and 8 minutes, and the processes heating and cooling cans, in addition to the last stages of heating and cooling, are carried out in the same bathtubs.

The total duration of the sterilization process according to the proposed method is 86 minutes, which is 4 minutes less compared to the prototype.

This mode provides significant savings of thermal energy, water, reducing the duration of the process and thereby improving the quality of the finished product.
