∙ 12y agoRefrigerators decrease the food temperature which slows down the growth of bacteria, mold, and viruses... The colder the temperature, the slower they reproduce. Food that is frozen can last decades, but the cold temperatures will cause "freezer burn" and may change the way the food tastes.

How does refrigeration help to prevent food spoilage?
Food spoils the fastest between the temperatures of 40oF and 140oF, therefore foods in preparation should not be kept at these temperatures. A refrigerator is below 40oF. bacteria causing food spoilage like to grow about body temperature. As it gets cooler they slow down in reproduction. Freezing stops their growth. Mold also slows at lower temp. A refrigerator slows decay process because it slows the growth rate of spoilage organisms.
What is used to prevent food from spoilage?

Why does refrigeration keep things from spoiling?

How does pasteurization prevent food spoilage?
The main way that pasteurization methods prevent food spoilage is by removing the bacteria from the food. This is done by heating the food until it is hot enough to kill the bacteria and then holding it there long enough to make sure that all bacteria are killed.
