Abstract

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method for sterilisation of compotes in jars. The method envisages putting jars with melon compote (after sealing) into the carrier, preliminary heating in the first bath filled with 60°C water during 5 minutes, subsequent transfer into the second bath filled with 80°C water for 5 minutes, into the third bath filled with 100°C water and into the fourth bath filled with 120°C calcium chloride solution for 3 minutes with subsequent cooling in the third, the second and the first baths filled with 100, 80 and 60°C water during 5, 5 and 5 minutes, respectively, and continuation of cooling in the fifth bath at water temperature equal to 40°C during 5 minutes; jars heating and cooling are simultaneously performed in the same baths; during the heat treatment process, the jar is turned upside down with a frequency equal to 0.133 s^-1.

EFFECT: method ensures the process duration reduction, preservation of biologically active components of the raw materials used and boiled and cracked fruits quantity reduction.

Description

The invention relates to the canning industry, and in particular to methods for sterilizing compote from melon in cans SKO 1-82-500.

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

, $$\frac{\mathrm{twenty}-\mathrm{twenty}-\mathrm{twenty}}{{\mathrm{one\; hundred}}^{\circ }\mathrm{FROM}}\cdot 118\mathrm{to}P\mathrm{but}$$

,

where 20 is the duration of the period of heating water to 100 ° C, min;

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

20 - 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: 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; providing simultaneous heating and cooling of cans with canned goods in the same bathtubs, and thereby contributing to the simplification of the process of heat treatment and the design of the apparatus for heat sterilization, by reducing its overall dimensions and metal consumption and significant savings of heat and water.

The specified technical result 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 60 ° C for 5 minutes, followed by transfer to the second and third baths with water, respectively 80 ° C for 5 min, 100 ° C for 5 min and a fourth bath with a solution of calcium chloride with a temperature of 120 ° C for 3 min, followed by cooling in the third, second and first baths with water and 100, 80, and 60 ° C for 5, 5, and 5 minutes, respectively, and continued cooling in the fifth bath at a water temperature of 40 ° C for 5 minutes, and during the heat treatment, the jar is rotated from the bottom to the lid with a frequency of 0.133 ^-1.

An example 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 60 ° C for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, the carrier with the jars is transferred to a bath of water at a temperature of 80 ° C for 5 minutes, then to a bath of water at a temperature of 100 ° C for 5 minutes and with a solution of calcium chloride at a temperature of 120 ° C for 3 minutes. After this time, the cans are cooled in the same baths: in the third bath at a water temperature of 100 ° C for 5 min, in the second bath at a water temperature of 80 ° C for 5 min and in the first bath for 5 min at a water temperature of 60 ° 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 5 minutes, and during the heat treatment, the can is rotated from the bottom to the lid with a frequency of 0.133 s ^-1 .

The use of stepwise cooling of compote in the same bathtubs where heating is carried out helps to simplify the heat treatment process and the design of the sterilization apparatus, provides significant savings in heat energy and water, since with this design of heat treatment, canned food is used in the first and second baths the heat given off by banks cooled in the same baths that have already undergone heat treatment. And water for cooling is consumed only in the last bath.

Salient features of the proposed method are: four-stage heating of compote in water at temperatures of 60, 80, 100 and a solution of calcium chloride at a temperature of 120 ° C for 5, 5, 5 and 3 minutes, respectively, followed by four-stage cooling for 5, 5, 5 and 5 minutes, and while the processes of heating and cooling cans, in addition to the last stages of heating and cooling, are carried out simultaneously in the same bathtubs.

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