Abstract
There is provided a plasma sterilization apparatus that permits plasma sterilization providing a uniform sterilization for even sterilization targets having various kinds of three-dimensional shape such as agricultural products, under mild conditions so as to prevent damage and quality deterioration of the targets. A plasma sterilization apparatus includes a voltage-applying unit that applies a voltage to a sterilization target having conductivity; a pair of electrodes that apply, in a discharged state, the voltage applied by said voltage-applying unit to the sterilization target via a dielectric; and a position changing unit that changes a relative position between the pair of electrodes and the sterilization target.

A plasma sterilization apparatus comprising:
- a voltage-applying unit that applies a voltage to a sterilization target having conductivity;
- a pair of electrodes that apply, between one electrode and other electrodes, in a discharged state, the voltage applied by said voltage-applying unit to said sterilization target via a dielectric and that at least one of the one electrode and other electrodes comprises plural pairs of contact pieces being flexible and comprising a conductor covered with the said dielectric;
- and
- a position changing unit that changes a relative position between said pair of electrodes and said sterilization target.
