FIELD: food industry.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry. Canned fruits are heated for 100 s by cycling superheated water vapor with a temperature of 105–110 °C to the cans. Duration of vapour delivery cycles and vapour maintenance is equal to 10 sec and 10 sec respectively. At the same time, during the whole process the outer surface of the cans is blown with heated to 100–110 °C air. Then cans are filled with a syrup of a temperature of 98 °C, sealed and sterilized in an autoclave according to themode, followed by continued cooling in another container according to themode.EFFECT: industrial sterility of canned food is ensured, the duration of the heat sterilization process is shortened and the quality of the finished product is improved.1 cl
