Answer:
Refrigeration helps in slowing the growth of bacteria in food.
Explanation:Most bacteria which are pathogenic grows optimally at room temperature( optimum temperature for their growth is 37°C) and hence when kept at a lower temperature, they are unable to grow.
It is because of their enzymes showing maximum activity at that temperature and at a lower temperature they are unable to function, thereby arresting growth.
