You might think that food is stored in the
refrigerator should be safe from bacteria. You might think that if the food is
stored in the refrigerator, the bacteria present in these foods will also
freeze and die. Apparently, the assumption is wrong. It was said by a
researcher named Paul McDonnell. He said that the food is in the fridge, some bacteria will thrive.
Salads were stored in the fridge 750 times potentially contaminated with
bacteria. A number of deadly bacteria is resistant to refrigerator temperature,
such as E coli and salmonella. At least, 8.000koloni bacteria in them. The
tests were carried out, there are about 7850 units of bacterial colonies (cfu)
per square cm. Though, to be categorized as a 'clean of bacteria', the default
is 0-10 cfu/cm2.
However, this problem can be prevented if you know the
cause and how to cope. Do the following to anticipate bacteria thrives in your
refrigerator.
1. Adjust the position of the right temperature.
Refrigerator air temperature must be at least 1 degree
Celsius lower than the desired temperature. For example, you are advised to
save poultry meat at a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius. The air temperature in
the refrigerator should be at least 4 degrees Celsius. If you are a business
owner in the culinary field, you should always make sure the temperature in the
refrigerator and freezer unit in the proper position.
2. Separate cooked food and raw.
What kind of food should not be mixed between the raw
and the cooked. The upper part is the food cooked and ready to eat. Under that
whole fresh meats such as fish and beef, sliced meat underneath again, and
last poultry, "said Beersheba Venttya Mareza, Assistant Manager Brand
Communication PT XC CLEANINDO, distributor of cleaning products, while casual
conversation in Jakarta, some time ago. Why sliced meat should be placed on
the third shelf, none other than that no fluid flow or drip and contaminate
other foods.
3. Clean the refrigerator regularly.
On a shelf in the fridge is often seen standing water
due to water droplets, gravy, or sauce from the food. Conditions were damp and
dirty is what causes the refrigerator to be the source of bacteria, and makes
more difficult to be cleaned. Keep the fridge clean and dry. If you are
planning to travel out of town for a few days, make sure you are moving things
out of the refrigerator, and store elsewhere. Then, unplug the refrigerator
outlet so you do not spend power with useless
The fridge is still important to keep your food
remains safe for consumption and to minimize the possibility of bacterial and
fungal growth that can cause big problems. Performance of the refrigerator is
very important, especially in warm weather, when high ambient temperatures
cause bacteria to multiply the potential to be high as well. While the low
temperature in the fridge will inhibit the growth of bacteria.
