Best Answer

Adding perservatives - such as salts or sugars or other chemicals with that fucntion - dry the food up and cause a change in the osmotic gradient which limits the metabolism of the decomposers.

Or the cooling down of food, which also limits the metabolism. Heating it up will kill off bacteria and fungi, which are what are responsible for decomposing organic matter.

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.
