Po zakończeniu zakupów większość z nas umieszcza produkty w lodówce w sposób intuicyjny, nie zastanawiając się głębiej nad tym, jakie konkretne warunki termiczne czy lokalizacja na poszczególnych półkach wpływają na trwałość żywności. Tymczasem istnieje szereg naukowo uzasadnionych zaleceń dotyczących organizacji przestrzeni chłodniczej, których przestrzeganie może znacząco przedłużyć okres przydatności do spożycia, zapobiec marnowaniu jedzenia oraz zachować pełnię walorów smakowych i odżywczych. Warto poznać te reguły, aby unikać powszechnych błędów i maksymalizować efektywność przechowywania.
Ways to store food
Food can be stored in a variety of ways: in a refrigerator, freezer, in an appropriate container, or in a kitchen cabinet. However, the most important thing is to know the product and the requirements it is subject to to to in order to maintain its properties for a long time. The more water the product contains, the faster chemical reactions occur and the faster it decays.
Food packaging
Food containers must meet special legal requirements in order to be in contact with food. Manufacturers offer plastic, glass, sealed packaging in various shapes and sizes. There are currently 5 standards which relate to plant hygiene, production environment and packaging testing which lead to the production of packaging that complies with quality requirements and safety against legal requirements.
How do you store food in the fridge?
Storing food in the refrigerator has its own rules. It's important to know about them. The bottom drawers of our refrigerator have a temperature of about 10°C and a higher humidity, which is why it's also the ideal place to store fruits and vegetables. Seasonal fruits like raspberries and strawberries can be stored without washing them in the best drawers for 1 to 2 days. It is very important to store salads that have access to oxygen if you pack the foil in the living room, because there's a lack of oxygen in the air contained in the young salons.
Storing food in the freezer
Storing food in a freezer is a very convenient way to extend the shelf life of your products. However, it is a simple and good way to preserve the nutritional value of food, which you can use at any time by simply reaching the freezer. The process of freezing, as we mentioned earlier, extends the usefulness of fresh food because the water in it freezes and there are no adverse chemical reactions. But freezing also reduces the activity of the enzymes that can lead to food spoilage.
