[0035] Example 1

[0036] A method for preserving and storing food, comprising the following steps:

[0037] (1) Initial food processing;

[0038] The food is fresh vegetables, which include leafy vegetables and root vegetables.

[0039] The initial treatment is specifically as follows: firstly, the fresh vegetables to be stored are washed with clean water, and then the washed fresh vegetables are cut into strips or blocks.

[0040] Generally, leafy vegetables are cut into strips, while root vegetables are cut into cubes.

[0041] (2) Dehydrating the food obtained after the initial processing;

[0042] The dehydration process steps are:

[0043] (2-1) Put the cut food into a container, peel and weigh it;

[0044] (2-2) According to the weighing result in step (21), add salt into the container, and the ratio of food weight to salt weight is 100:5;

[0045] (2-3) stirring the food in the container so that the salt and the food are evenly mixed;

[0046] (2-4) Let the container stand for 4 hours;

[0047] (2-5) kneading the food after it has been left to stand so that the moisture inside the food is squeezed out, thereby completing the first dehydration;

[0048] The kneading process can be completed on tools such as a sieve so that the squeezed water can be discharged in time, which can effectively prevent the food from re-absorbing water and further improve the effect of water discharge.

[0049] (2-6) Put the food after the first dehydration into a container, peel it and weigh it;

[0050] (2-7) According to the weighing result in step (26), add salt into the container, and the ratio of food weight to salt weight is 100:5;

[0051] (2-8) stirring the food in the container so that the salt and the food are evenly mixed;

[0052] (2-9) leaving the container to stand for 8 hours;

[0053] (2-10) Kneading the food after it has been left to stand allows the moisture inside the food to be squeezed out, thereby completing the second dehydration.

[0054] Through two dehydration processes, not only can the moisture in the food be effectively removed, but also harmful substances such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc. attached to the food can be effectively killed.

[0055] (3) preparing inner packaging, weighing the dehydrated food, and placing it into the inner packaging after weighing;

[0056] The inner package needs to be vacuumed and sealed after the food is put into it.

[0057] In order to better ensure the storage effect of food, it is necessary to ensure that the food processing process is carried out in a sterile environment before the food is put into the inner packaging and sealed.

[0058] (4) preparing auxiliary agents according to the weight of the dehydrated food;

[0059] The auxiliary agent is a mixed solution of water and ethanol, wherein the volume of ethanol is 50% of the total volume of the auxiliary agent; the weight ratio of the auxiliary agent to the food after dehydration in step (3) is 2:100.

[0060] Common auxiliary agents are liquor or edible alcohol, which can also be obtained by blending distilled water with high-concentration alcohol / liquor.

[0061] (5) Prepare outer packaging, place the inner packaging containing the food and auxiliary agents into the outer packaging, and seal the outer packaging.

[0062] The inner packaging is a bag-shaped packaging; the outer packaging is a bag-filled packaging.

[0063] When the outer packaging is sealed, the ethanol in the auxiliary agent will slowly vaporize and slowly fill the entire outer packaging. The vaporized ethanol will effectively kill or inhibit viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc. in the inner space of the outer packaging, thereby better ensuring that harmful substances will not penetrate into the inner packaging from the inner space of the outer packaging, and better ensuring that the food stored in the inner packaging will not spoil. In addition, salt and ethanol solution are both common substances, which are not only easy to obtain, but also low in price, which greatly reduces the storage cost of food.

[0064] Through the above method, the storage time of food can be effectively extended by dozens or even hundreds of times in a room temperature environment. At the same time, the method of the present application does not require the addition of preservatives or other additives to the food, thereby better ensuring the safety of the food when consumed.

[0065] Example 2

[0066] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the food is pickled vegetables, and the pickled vegetables are pickled vegetables such as dried radish, mustard tuber, kimchi, and sauerkraut.

[0067] The dehydration process steps are:

[0068] (2-1) Put the cut food into a container, peel and weigh it;

[0069] (2-2) According to the weighing result in step (21), add salt into the container, and the ratio of food weight to salt weight is 100:8;

[0070] (2-3) stirring the food in the container so that the salt and the food are evenly mixed;

[0071] (2-4) leaving the container to stand for 8 hours;

[0072] (2-5) kneading the food after it has been left to stand so that the moisture inside the food is squeezed out, thereby completing the first dehydration;

[0073] (2-6) Put the food after the first dehydration into a container, peel it and weigh it;

[0074] (2-7) According to the weighing result in step (26), add salt into the container, and the ratio of food weight to salt weight is 100:8;

[0075] (2-8) stirring the food in the container so that the salt and the food are evenly mixed;

[0076] (2-9) Let the container stand for 12 hours;

[0077] (2-10) Kneading the food after it has been left to stand allows the moisture inside the food to be squeezed out, thereby completing the second dehydration.

[0078] The auxiliary agent is a mixed solution of water and ethanol, wherein the volume of ethanol is 60% of the total volume of the auxiliary agent; the weight ratio of the auxiliary agent to the food after dehydration in step (3) is 4:100.

[0079] The inner packaging is a bag-shaped packaging; the outer packaging is a bottle-shaped packaging.

[0080] Example 3

[0081] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the food is pickled vegetables.
