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.
