Description

The proposed method for the invention relates to the canning industry, and in particular to methods of preserving apple compote in cans SKO 1-82-1000.

Sources that were searched by this method showed that the prototype of the proposed method is a canning method [1], the essence of which is that the cans with the fruits packaged in them are treated with a microwave field with a frequency of 2450 MHz before pouring the syrup for 2.0-2.5 minutes, then pour in syrup heated to a temperature of 95-97 ° C, after which it is re-treated with a microwave field for 2.5-3.0 minutes and the contents of the cans are heated to 95-96 ° C with subsequent sealing, then kept in a stream of heated to 100-105 ° C air in those ix 7-8 min and cooled air temperature 20-35 ° C and a speed of 5-6 m / s for 20-25 minutes while rotating the container at a frequency 0,166-0,2 s ^-1.

The disadvantages of this method are:

- the possibility of microbiological damage to the finished product due to insufficient heat treatment of the lid;

- deterioration of the organoleptic and structural-mechanical indicators of the finished product during the rotation of the cans in the cooling process.

The technical result of the invention is aimed at creating a method for the production of compote, contributing to: improving the quality of finished products, reducing the number of boiled fruits and fruits with cracked skin and improving the structural and mechanical properties of the finished product.

The specified technical result is achieved due to the fact that according to the proposed method, cans with the fruits packaged in them are placed in the microwave chamber for 2.5-3.0 minutes before pouring the syrup, after which the syrup is filled with a temperature of 98 ° C, re-placed in the microwave chamber for 3.0-3.5 min and heat the contents of the cans to 98-100 ° C, followed by sealing, holding in a stream of heated air with a temperature of 100-105 ° C for 8 min in an inverted state and rotational cooling with atmospheric air with a temperature of 20 -25 ° C and a speed of 8-9 m / s for 18 min, at this jar during cooling is subjected to intermittent 2-3 minutes rotation from the bottom to the lid with a frequency of 0.16 s ^-1 with an interval of 2-3 minutes.

An example implementation of the method.

Prepared fruits (quince, pears) are packed in jars and placed in a microwave chamber for 3.0 minutes, where an electromagnetic field with a frequency of 2400 + 50 MHz is excited by a magnetron. After microwave processing, sugar syrup with a temperature of 98 ° C is poured into cans. Then the cans are re-placed in the microwave chamber for 3.5 minutes and the contents of the cans are heated to 98-100 ° C. Subsequently, the cans are rolled up, kept in a stream of heated air with a temperature of 100 ° C for 8 min in an inverted position (cover down), followed by rotational cooling in a stream of atmospheric air with a temperature of 22 ° C and a speed of 8 m / s for 18 min, while the jar is subjected to intermittent 2-3-minute rotation from the bottom to the lid with a frequency of 0.16 s ^-1 with an interval of 2-3 minutes

The use of intermittent rotation of the cans during the heat treatment contributes to the intensification of the internal heat transfer process in the bank and significantly reduces the mechanical rubbing process of the fruits in the bank, which helps to preserve their integrity, and reducing the duration of the process contributes to a more complete preservation of biologically active components contained in the feedstock.

In addition, the intermittent rotation of the cans saves the energy spent on the rotation of the cans, while ensuring the uniformity of the heat treatment process and its intensification.

Exposure of the cans in the stream of heated air in an inverted position provides sterilization of the lid and thereby prevents possible microbiological damage to the finished product.

The salient features of the proposed method are: preheating fruits packaged in jars for 2.5-3.0 minutes in a microwave chamber, pouring syrup at a temperature of 97-98 ° C; reheating cans of the product after pouring syrup in the microwave chamber for up to 3.0-3.5 minutes to 98-100 ° C, followed by sealing, holding for 8 minutes in a stream of heated air with a temperature of 100-105 ° C, s subsequent cooling in a stream of atmospheric air with a temperature of 20-25 ° C and a speed of 8-9 m / s for 18 minutes, while in the process of cooling the cans are subjected to intermittent 2-3 minutes rotation from the bottom to the lid with a frequency of 0.16 s ^-1 with an interval of 2-3 minutes.

This mode provides industrial sterility of canned food, significant savings in heat energy and water, as well as improving the quality of the finished product and increasing competitiveness.
