A low-temperature
plasma device used for
food sterilization and freshness retaining includes a supporting plate for placing food, a
plasma generation device, a shell, a door and a circuit control module. The supporting plate and the
plasma generation device are connected through an insulating medium, spray points of the plasma generation device are welded on a
metal plate, the
metal plate and a ground
electrode are connected through an insulating medium, the spray pints are arranged in centers of circular holes of the ground
electrode, the
metal plate is connected with a
high voltage end which is connected with a
high voltage power supply, and the ground
electrode is connected to the ground. The device generates plasma through a special
discharge structure, utilizes ionic wind to drive flow of air, some active ingredients in the plasma react with microorganisms on the surface of food, thereby killing the microorganisms, the active ingredients react with some enzymes inside the food, thereby inhibiting activity of the enzymes, the
decomposition rate of
organic matter is slowed down, food and daily utensils are sterilized, and the
shelf life of food can be prolonged, thereby realizing sterilization and freshness retaining of food under a low-temperature condition.
