Refrigerators are considered a marvel of advanced food preservation. At the right temperature, the appliances slow down the bacteria growth that keeps the food safer and fresh for a long time.
When buying a new refrigerator and availing a commercial refrigeration installation service, Green Refrigeration LLC will guide customers on how to maintain the right temperature for optimal refrigeration.
optimum commercial refrigeration temperature
Green Refrigeration LLC’s on-call refrigeration experts suggest that commercial refrigeration should be between 3 ℃ and 5 ℃. Between this temperature range, the growth of bacteria is slowest and the food’s quality is maintained. Below this temperature, freezing may be triggered in the commercial refrigerator and will lead to spoiling of the stored food.
A temperature above 5 ℃ is considered a danger zone. Food stored above 5 ℃ can lead to harmful growth and spread of bacterium, which may result in listeria, salmonella, or E. coli.
Commercial refrigeration maintenance experts
Commercial refrigeration maintenance experts suggest that the ideal temperature for the freezer is -18 ℃
Commercial refrigeration maintenance experts suggest that the ideal temperature for the freezer is -18 ℃. When storing food at this temperature, especially seafood and meat, it won’t allow the growth of bacteria, and home owners can preserve the items for up to a year.
When seafood and meat are stored below -18 ℃, they may lose their flavor and texture. If the freezer or refrigerator is not set at the correct temperature, it can lead to tons of food wastage.
Measuring temperature of the commercial refrigerator
To measure the temperature of the commercial refrigerator, home owners can buy an appliance thermometer. Place it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes and then check the temperature. If not close to the correct temperature, turn to the temperature control panel of the refrigerator and make the required adjustment.
Maintaining the optimum temperature in the commercial refrigerator will prevent a lot of issues from arising. However, if home owners are unable to maintain the same or the refrigerator is dis-functioning, due to any other problems, they must contact a commercial refrigeration repair technician.
