In order to establish the energy conservation strategy in canning of acid food, the enery consumption of peach canning factory was monitored. The energy intensity was investigated and quantification of thermal and electrical energy was undertaken in individual operations. For processing of 1 kg raw peach, thermal energy 864 kcal and electrical energy 0.045 KWh was consumed in overall factory. From daily processing of 14 M/T peach, 2060 kg waste like seeds and 1510 kg low grade product were produced, and syrup of 6240 kg was prepared for filling in can. Enery intensive operations were lyepeeling(35%) and pasteurization(53%). Steam quality in the monitored factory was in the range of $87{sim}88%$ with no difference among processing lines and 23% of supplied thermal energy in pasteurization was utilized actually for heating food.
