method for producing processed food, particularly fruit preparations

摘要

A process and assembly to preserve fruit for subsequent consumption, first heats and then cools the fruit with a liq. in an enclosed vessel. The novelty is that the atmosphere above the mixt. of fruit and liq. is varied within a predetermined time-pressure cycle, resulting in a take-up of fluid by the fruit. The changes in pressure are effected either during the heating or cooling phases. Before the final process phase, the mixed food is heated by a separate boiler (31) within an enclosed vessel (1).
