The invention relates to a special peeling agent for white gourds and a use method of the special peeling agent. The special peeling agent is prepared from the following raw material components in parts by weight: 12-15 parts of sodium hydroxide, 9-13 parts of sucrose fatty acid ester, 8-12 parts of an addition agent, 7-12 parts of propylene glycol, 6-12 parts of ethanol, 2-5 parts of glycerine, 2-3 parts of sodium alginate, 1-3 parts of cocoanut fatty acid diethanolamide and 25-53 parts of water, wherein the addition agent is a mixture of sodium pyrophosphate, sodium tripolyphosphate and sodium hexametaphosphate, and the weight ratio of the sodium pyrophosphate to the sodium tripolyphosphate and to the sodium hexametaphosphate is 3 to 2 to 1. The use method of the peeling agent comprises the following steps of I, performing stirring and blending so as to obtain an aqueous solution of the peeling agent; II, heating the aqueous solution of the peeling agent, adding white gourds into the heated aqueous solution, and performing soaking; III, fishing out the soaked white gourds, performing rubbing and washing for peeling, and then performing immersing and blanching in clean water; and IV, performing soaking with a citric acid aqueous solution, and fishing out the soaked white gourds. The peeling agent has the characteristics of being low temperature, quick, good in peeling effects and low in cost, the peeling agent can be reused for 5-8 times, and damage to inner-layer fibers of the white gourd is small.
