Freely-rolling fruits are mixed with crystalline sugar or a highly concentrated sugar solution, and this fruit and sugar mixture is then sterilized by heat treatment. After the juice has been carefully formed, the fruit is separated from the juice, the consistency of the latter being at least approximately adjusted, and then the fruit and juice are again combined. The mixture is then heated for a short period, in a heating region, by means of a micro-wave field excited in a E01 mode. The process is particularly suited for fruit preparations containing soft fruit, the properties of which remain largely unchanged. The fruit preparations thus obtained can be used individually or mixed with foodstuffs, for example yoghurt, cottage cheese or desserts. |
