11. If the refrigerator temperature is higher than 4˚C (especially for a long time), this
favours the growth of harmful microorganisms. Therefore it is recommended to keep
the temperature below 4˚C.
12. A freezer temperature of -17˚C or lower is suitable for food preservation. Even though
freezing does not kill microorganisms, it inhibits their growth.
13. Vacuum packing preservation temperature also has an effect on dried fruits: the
duration of preservation increases 3-4 times at every 10˚C temperature reduction.
