Answers

Faith
1.Refrigeration: The process of subjecting food or drink to cold in order to chill or
preserve .it is an essential food storage technique. The lower temperature of lowers the
reproduction rate of bacteria, so the refrigerator reduces the rate of spoilage.

2.Chilling .Same as refrigeration .It is the application of temperatures in the range of
0oC–8oC,that is, above the freezing point of the food, while

3.Freezing is a food preservation that uses temperatures well below the freezing point,
conventionally below -18oC. The stronger preserving action of freezing (compared to
chilling ) is due not only to the lower temperature but also and mainly to the depression
of water activity as a result of conversion of part of the water to ice
