Description

The invention relates to the canning industry, and in particular to methods for sterilizing compote from cherries in cans SKO 1-82-1000.

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

$$\frac{25-\left(\mathrm{fifteen}-\mathrm{twenty}\right)-25}{{\mathrm{one\; hundred}}^{\circ }C}\cdot 118\mathrm{to}P\mathrm{but}$$

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

(15-20) - the length of the period of its own sterilization at 100 ° C, min;

25 - the duration of the cooling period, min;

100 ° C - sterilization temperature, ° C;

118 - back pressure in the autoclave, kPa.

The main disadvantages of this method are:

- long duration of the process of heat treatment of the product;

- uneven heat treatment of the product in banks;

- high consumption of thermal energy and water.

The technical result of the invention is aimed at creating a method for the production of compote, contributing to a reduction in 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 peels; simplifying the process of implementing the method and apparatus design for its implementation.

The specified technical result is achieved due to the fact that according to the proposed method, cans with pre-packaged fruits are placed in a microwave chamber for pouring syrup for 1.5-2.0 minutes, after which syrup with a temperature of 85 ° C is poured, re-placed in a microwave the chamber for 2.0 min and heat the contents of the cans to 90 ° C, followed by sealing, then the banks are subjected to heating in a solution of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at a temperature of 115 ° C for 10 min, followed by cooling in a bath with a temperature of 85 ° C for 6 min , 60 ° C for 6 min and 40 ° C for 6 min, pr during this heat treatment jars is rotated with the bottom cover at a frequency of 0.166 s ^-1.

An example implementation of the method.

Prepared fruits are packed in jars and placed in a microwave chamber for 1.5-2 minutes, where an electromagnetic field with a frequency of 2400 ± 50 MHz is excited with a magnetron. After microwave processing, syrups with a temperature of 85 ° C are poured into cans. Then the cans are re-placed in the microwave chamber for 2.0 min and the contents of the cans are heated to 90 ° C. Subsequently, the cans are rolled up, installed in a carrier providing mechanical tightness of the cans and heated in a solution of dimethyl sulfoxide at a temperature of 115 ° C for 10 minutes. After this time, the cans are cooled in a bath with a water temperature of 85 ° C for 6 min, then in baths with a water temperature of 60 ° C for 6 min and 40 ° C for 6 min, while during the heat treatment, the cans are rotated with bottom on the cover with a frequency of 0.166 s ^-1 .

The salient features of the proposed method are: preheating the fruits packaged in cans for 1.5-2.0 minutes in a microwave chamber with a frequency of 2400 ± 50, reheating cans of the product after pouring the syrup at a temperature of 85 ° C in microwave chamber for 2.0 min to 90 ° C, followed by sealing, installation in a carrier providing mechanical tightness of the cans, and heating in a solution of dimethyl sulfoxide at a temperature of 115 ° C for 10 min with further cooling in a bath with a water temperature of 85 ° C for 6 min, then to the van s with a water temperature of 60 ° C for 6 min and 40 ° C for 6 minutes, while in the process of heat treatment jars is rotated with the bottom cover at a frequency of 0.166 s ^-1.

Preliminary two-stage heating of the product in the microwave field provides the opportunity to increase the temperature of the coolant to 115 ° C and thereby reduce the duration of heat treatment and improve the quality of the finished product.

In addition, the removal of air from the jar before sealing stops the oxidation processes and provides a more complete preservation of biologically active components contained in the fruit.

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 opportunity
