Solution
- Eggs and milk should be stored at home to maintain their freshness for a longer period of time by using Home Refrigeration or Freezing.
- It involves storing the food items at a temperature below the normal room temperature.
- The actions of microorganisms and chemicals get retarded at lower temperatures, and as such, the putrefaction or the process of decay is delayed, and food items can be preserved for a period more than normal.
- Perishable food items like fruits, vegetables, fish, meat, eggs, milk, curd, and left-over food can be preserved for some additional period by refrigeration.
- Vegetables like spinach, tomatoes, celery, and cucumber have such a high content of water that freezing will destroy the texture of these foods.
- When removed from freezers, the thawed leaves and vegetables will become limp and soggy.
