Refrigeration

fields of agriculture, meat, bakery, hospitality etc., refrigeration
plays an important role. It is a process of cooling eatables and
drinks, so that they can be preserved for a long time or till the

freezer, coolers, refrigerated deli cases etc.
These instruments are used in general stores, shops, malls,
restaurants, café, hotels, bakeries etc. Cooling process helps in
storing eatables for a long time and stops bacterial growth.
Refrigeration is used in many fields like:

poultry – Various kinds of refrigerators are used in meat and
poultry industry. This food item can be preserved in coolers for a
long time, so that they will stay fresh when customers buy it.
Refrigeration has helped meat companies in expanding their business
to all over the world. Before this cooling process, it was impossible
to keep meat hygienic and fresh for a long time. Without storing in
low temperature, meat will rot. Meat like beef, pork, chicken,
sausage, turkey etc. are stored in coolers.

like milk, yoghurt, butter, cakes, pastries etc. Most of the bakery
