Modern refrigerator models differ significantly from their predecessors. However, the additional functions with which they are equipped affect not only the comfort of use, but also the cost of the unit. Therefore, one should meticulously evaluate the advantage and benefits of each characteristic, so as not to overpay for the excesses as a result. One of the additional features that has recently appeared in refrigerators is the freshness zone.
What is a freshness zone?
In some models of refrigerators built from two zones of freshness, but it greatly affects their price. In most cases, and one office working properly.
The freshness zone means a special compartment that is found in the refrigerator. It closes quite tightly and is separated from the rest of the chamber. In this zone, a temperature of about 0 ° is maintained, as well as optimal humidity. Allocate a dry and wet zone of freshness.
Dry is optimal for unfrozen fish and meat. The low temperature does not allow food to spoil, but also does not freeze them, as in the freezer compartment. The humid zone is especially convenient for storing fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and salad. Food does not dry out and does not lose natural moisture.
What is the freshness zone in the refrigerator for?
The dry freshness zone is simply irreplaceable in order to keep fresh meat for several days without resorting to preliminary freezing. The damp area will keep fruits and vegetables appetizing and prevent spoilage.
In addition, at the temperature null zone bacterial growth will be minimized.
At zero temperature, which is available in this compartment, the beneficial substances and taste qualities of most fruits, vegetables and other food products are preserved to the maximum.
Due to the above-described properties of the moisture zone, products in it are preserved as efficiently and for a long time as possible.
Different names of the freshness zone
A freshness zone is available in many refrigerators. Manufacturers call it differently, using proprietary names. The most popular ones are:
- BioFresh;
- Flex Cool;
- Fresh Box;
- Fresh Zone;
- Zero'n'Fresh;
- vitaFresh.
Freshness zone: what could be the catch?
Carefully study the instructions for the refrigerator you like. Do not be too lazy to meticulously study it from the inside. This must be done due to the fact that in budget models there may be transparent containers, quite similar to the compartment of the freshness zone. Sometimes they are called that, and in other cases you may come across the expression "area of high humidity" or something similar.
How does a real freshness zone differ from them? - It must be fixed in a certain place on the camera. In addition, on the back wall you can see devices that maintain a microclimate in it. For example, these can be openings from which cold air is supplied.
If the container is removable, and you can move it or move it to another place in the refrigerator, then you have a regular container for storing vegetables.
