What is a Refrigerated storage / Frozen storage?

Refrigerated storage is a method of storing foods, medicines, etc. at low temperatures, generally maintaining a temperature range of 2 to 8 degrees. This temperature range is suitable for suppressing microbial growth and maintaining product quality and safety. On the other hand, frozen storage is a method of storing products at extremely low temperatures, generally at temperatures below -18 degrees Celsius. This low temperature completely stops microbial activity, allowing the product to maintain its freshness and quality for a long time.

Application of Refrigerated storage / Frozen storage

✅Refrigerated Storage for Food
Dairy products like milk, fruits, and vegetables need refrigerated storage. By keeping these in a refrigerator, bacterial growth is slowed, preserving freshness for a few days. For example, milk stored at around 4°C can stay fresh for several days, delaying spoilage.
✅Refrigerated Storage for Pharmaceuticals
Certain medications, such as insulin or vaccines, require refrigerated storage. By storing these at approximately 5°C, their potency is preserved. If the refrigerator's temperature fluctuates or becomes too warm, the medication may lose its effectiveness and become unusable.
✅Frozen Storage for Food
Fish, meat, and frozen vegetables are stored at sub-zero temperatures for long-term preservation. For example, meat stored at -18°C can remain fresh for several months, preserving its nutrients and flavor when thawed.
✅Frozen Storage for Pharmaceuticals
Some medications and blood products must be stored frozen. These are kept at temperatures below -20°C to maintain their quality over time. This applies to products such as vaccines and cell cultures.
