food storage optimum temperature[edit]

"Optimum temperature range for perishable food storage is 3 to 5 °C (37 to 41 °F)."

It seems that for most food the ideal optimum storage temperature would be just above freezing, about 1C, 33F. Is this true? Where can one find detailed facts, tables and graphs of storage time as a function of temperature for various foods? What temperatures are used for ideal commercial storage of various foods?-96.237.13.111 (talk) 14:29, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reasons besides bacteria and yeast[edit]

The article needs to cover various other ways that food degrades, including chemical, enzymatic, non-enzymatic browning, lipid oxidation, moisture loss, and "staling". Took this list from this sketchy blogpost site but the content seems OK. Just need to find a reliable source discussing these. II | (t - c) 20:27, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
