The invention discloses an ultrahigh-pressure refreshing method for maintaining the quality of fresh lotus roots. The fresh lotus roots after being pretreated and vacuum sealed and packaged are placed into an ultrahigh-pressure vessel, ultrahigh-pressure treatment on the fresh lotus roots is implemented by controlling pressure, medium temperature and pressure maintaining time of an ultrahigh-pressure device in one to three times of a circulation process of pressurizing, pressure maintaining and pressure releasing. The method comprises the steps of: harvesting fresh lotus roots, shelling, stripping, dredging core, protecting color, vacuum packaging, ultrahigh-pressure processing, packaging, and cold storing and obtaining a finished product. Due to the adoption of the method, activities of poly (phenylene oxide) deprecated (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) in the fresh lotus roots can be effectively inhibited, the browning and quality changing of the fresh lotus roots during the processing andstorage period can be prevented, and the preservation period of the fresh lotus roots can be prolonged to more than 3 months under the cold storage condition. The ultrahigh-pressure treatment is a physical process. Due to the adoption of the method, the appearance quality and the nutrients of the fresh lotus roots can be adequately reserved, the technique is simple, maneuverability is strong, energy consumption is small, the method is safe and pollution-free, and a novel way is developed for the lotus industry.
