Abstract

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to preservation industry, in particular, to a method for sterilisation of pickled tomatoes in jars SKO 1-82-1000. The method involves heating jars filled with pickled tomatoes after sealing in 130°C air flow at a rate of 6 - 7 m/s during 15 minutes with subsequent maintenance during 7 minutes at heated air temperature equal to 105°C and subsequent cooling in an atmospheric air flow at 20-22°C at a rate of 7-8 m/s during 18 minutes. During the heat treatment process the jar is subjected to interrupted turning upside down during 2-3-minutes with a frequency equal to 0.166 sec^-1 with a 2-3 minute interval.

EFFECT: invention ensures heat treatment uniformity and intensification, boiled and cracked fruits quantity reduction, preservation of biologically active components of the raw materials used, the production process duration reduction.

Description

The present invention relates to the canning industry, and in particular to methods for sterilizing pickled tomatoes in cans SKO 1-82-1000.

Sources that were searched by this method showed that the prototype of the proposed method is a method of sterilizing pickled tomatoes [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 following conditions:

where: 20 - the duration of heating the water in the autoclave to 100 ° C, min; 8 - 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 various layers of the product in the bank, as a result of which the peripheral layers receive excessive heat exposure;

- violation of the integrity of the fruit due to excessive heat and digestion of individual fruits located in the peripheral areas of the banks;

- high consumption of thermal energy and water.

The technical result of the invention is aimed at creating a method for the production of pickled tomatoes, contributing to: reducing the duration of the process; preservation of biologically active components of the raw materials used; reducing the number of boiled fruits and fruits with cracked skin; saving heat energy and water, as well as reducing costs and increasing the competitiveness of finished products.

The specified technical result is achieved due to the fact that according to the proposed method, cans with canned goods, after seaming, are installed in a special carrier that provides mechanical tightness of the cans, and subjected to heating in an air stream at a temperature of 130 ° C and a speed of 6-7 m / s for 15 min, followed by exposure for 7 min at a temperature of 105 ° C and cooling in a stream of air with a temperature of 20-22 ° C and a speed of 7-8 m / s for 18 min, and while in the process of heat treatment the jar is subjected to intermittent 2- 3 min rotation from “bottom to cover ”with a frequency of 0.166 s ^-1 with an interval of 2-3 minutes.

An example of the method

Cans with canned goods 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 at a temperature of t _in = 130 ° C and a speed of 6-7 m / s, and for 15 minutes, the contents of the cans are heated at a simultaneous intermittent 2-3 minutes rotation of the can from the “bottom to the lid” with a frequency of 0.166 s ^-1 with an interval of 2-3 minutes, then the carrier with the cans is transferred to a holding chamber with heated air at 105 ° C for 7 minutes, while the cans 2-3 min dvergayutsya intermittent rotation with the "bottoms on the lid" frequency of 0.166 s ^-1 at intervals of 2-3 minutes and proceed into the chamber to cool in ambient air stream temperature 20-22 ° C and a speed of 7-8 m / s for 18 minutes, and the cans are also subjected to intermittent 2-3 minutes rotation from the bottom to the lid with a frequency of 0.166 s ^-1 with an interval of 2-3 minutes.

The use of intermittent rotation of the cans contributes to the intensification of the internal heat transfer process in the can, and also prevents the process of mechanical rubbing of fruits among themselves, 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.

Salient features of the proposed method are: canned food is heated in a stream of air with a temperature of 130 ° C and a speed of 6-7 m / s for 15 minutes, followed by exposure in a chamber at a temperature of 105 ° C for 7 minutes and further cooling in a stream of atmospheric air at a temperature of 20-22 ° C at a speed of 7-8 m / s for 18 minutes, and during the heat treatment, the jar is subjected to intermittent 2-3 minutes rotation from “bottom to cover” with a frequency of 0.166 s ^-1 with an interval of 2 -3 min.

This mode provides significant savings of thermal energy, completely eliminates the use of water in the process of heat sterilization and provides improved quality of the finished product by reducing the duration of heating and ensuring the uniformity of heat treatment.
