The present invention discloses a novel pad for sterilizing food, capable of preventing the food contained in a packaging container from being decomposed by various bacteria to maintain food freshness and increase a food shelf life, by preparing, in various pad forms, a moisture-absorbent fabric in which chlorine dioxide (ClO_2) is injected or impregnated to enable various foods, such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish, and shellfish to be accommodated in the packaging container. The present invention includes: a moisture-absorbent fabric cut into various shapes, such as rectangular, circular, or the like, according to the shape of a packaging container accommodating food and then stacked in two layers; a highly hygroscopic resin, in a form of powder, in which chlorine dioxide (ClO_2) is injected or impregnated to the moisture-absorbent fabric while being evenly distributed and attached between the two layers of the moisture-absorbent fabric; an inner envelope made of an air permeable material and accommodating the moisture-absorbent fabric; and an air permeable sheet allowing chlorine dioxide, which is generated from the moisture-absorbent fabric and emitted through the inner envelope, to diffuse into the packing container containing food, such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish, and shellfish, in a state of being wrapped around the surface of the inner envelope. |
