How does refrigeration prevent foofd spoilage?

Refrigeration slows down the growth of bacteria, yeasts, and molds that cause food spoilage by lowering the temperature, which inhibits the metabolic processes of these microorganisms. It also helps to reduce enzymatic reactions that can lead to deterioration in food quality. By maintaining a consistently cool environment, refrigeration extends the shelf life of perishable items and preserves their taste, texture, and nutritional value.
