Gefrierlagerung refers to the process of storing items at freezing temperatures, typically below 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit), to preserve them. This method is widely used for food, biological samples, and other perishable materials. The low temperatures significantly slow down or halt the growth of microorganisms and enzymatic activity that cause spoilage and degradation.
For food, Gefrierlagerung extends shelf life considerably, allowing for long-term storage without significant loss of quality,
In scientific and medical contexts, Gefrierlagerung is essential for preserving biological specimens such as cells, tissues,
