FUNCTION

Food Preservation

Food Preservation Tips­ To reduce the risk of spoilage, minimize food handling. Store fruits and vegetables separately. Store meats in the original packaging; once opened, re-wrap tightly.
Ethylene Gas­ Many fresh foods emit ethylene gas, a naturally-occurring compound that hastens food ripening and spoilage. Sub-Zero refrigerators come with an air purification system (based on technology developed by NASA) that scrubs the air of ethylene and odor every 20 minutes. To reduce spoilage, do not store ethylene-producing fruits and vegetables with those that are ethylene-sensitive.
Indicates an ethylene-producing food.
Indicates an ethylene-sensitive food.
Humidity­ The optimal humidity varies for different foods. To keep food fresher longer, store foods in the areas designated in the following charts.
