- FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a refrigeration appliance
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic view of a further refrigeration appliance.
- FIG. 1 shows a refrigeration appliance 100 in the form of a refrigerator with a refrigeration appliance door 111 .
- the refrigerator serves for example to refrigerate food and comprises a refrigerant circuit with an evaporator or a number of evaporator units, a compressor, a condenser and a throttle device.
- the evaporator is a heat exchanger, in which after expansion the liquid refrigerant is evaporated as a result of absorbing heat from the medium to be cooled, in other words the air in the interior of the refrigerator.
- the compressor is a mechanically operated part, which takes refrigerant vapor in from the evaporator and outputs it at a higher pressure to the condenser.
- the condenser is a heat exchanger, in which after compression the evaporated refrigerant is condensed as a result of emitting heat to an external cooling medium, in other words the ambient air.
- the throttle device is an apparatus for continuously reducing pressure by narrowing cross section.
- the refrigerant is a fluid used to transmit heat in the refrigerating system, absorbing heat when the fluid is at low temperatures and low pressure and emitting heat when the fluid is at a higher temperature and higher pressure, with state changes of the fluid generally being included.
- climate conditions are created which allow the specific post-aging of meat, in particular beef, in a domestic context.
- meat undergoes an aging process to establish and specifically influence its consumption quality.
- a process takes place within the cells, generally taking approx. 36 to 40 hours for cattle and 6 to 8 hours for pigs in standard refrigeration conditions between 0° C. and 4° C.
- glycogen reserves in the muscles are broken down without oxygen and lactic acid formed.
- the pH value of the meat drops from 7.2 to 5.5. If the glycogen is consumed, the muscle fibers crosslink and the meat becomes hard and tough.
- proteolytically induced morphological changes produce a change in the myofibrils and therefore the desired tender consistency.
- the water binding capacity increases so less juice runs out during meat preparation.
- the aging phase lasts approx. 14 days for beef, 7 days for veal and approx. 60 hours for pork at temperatures around 3° C.
- Dry aging is a slow aging process with high water loss of up to 30% and an aging period of up to 4 weeks.
- Wet aging refers to the aging of meat without air in a vacuum bag. Anaerobic meat aging is brought about by the lactic acid bacteria present in the meat. It can be supplemented by parchment aging, in which meat is wrapped in parchment before the vacuum is applied so any meat juices that come out are not in sustained contact with the meat. Dry bags or aging bags are semi-permeable membrane bags used for aging. Here oxygen reaches the meat, juice drips can be conducted away and weight loss is reduced. With aqua aging meat is aged in mineral water with a high calcium, magnesium and hydrogen carbonate content. Aging can also take place in beef tallow.
- the refrigeration appliance 100 allows meat to be aged and joints of meat to undergo post-aging according to the dry aging or wet aging method or in an aging bag in a domestic context.
- the aging or post-aging of the meat here can take place either in the refrigeration compartment as a whole as the storage area 103 or in separate storage areas 103 .
- a separate storage area 103 for refrigerated goods in the form of meat has for example an additional temperature control by means of a temperature setting facility 105 or a controlled evaporator 105 with a temperature sensor for setting a temperature in the storage area 103 .
- the storage area 103 also comprises a humidity control by means of an air humidity setting facility for setting a relative air humidity.
- a ventilation facility 107 for example a fan wheel, serves to generate an air flow 109 with a predefined air speed in the storage area 103 .
- a perforated shelf surface 113 Arranged in the storage area is a perforated shelf surface 113 which is made of stainless steel for example.
- the storage area 103 can also have one or more hooks 117 for securing meat joints.
- the following storage climate parameters are advantageously maintained in the storage area 103 :
- a target temperature range for post-aging is between 0.5° C. and 1.5° C.
- a target range for relative air humidity is between 75% and 85%.
- Air humidity here can be controlled passively, for example coupled with temperature regulation and fan operating times, or actively, for example using an air humidity setting facility with a humidity sensor in the storage area to humidify or dehumidify when a predefined limit value is exceeded.
- the target range for air speed in the storage area 103 is between 0.5 m/s and 2.5 m/s for fast drying off and to prevent mold forming on the meat.
- UV light ultraviolet light
- air cleaning can take place, for example by means of UV disinfection, by means of a microfilter. This improves the air quality in the storage area.
- control or program selection of the aging function a user can set the target temperature in the storage area directly by way of an appliance electronic system or a separate electronic system on the storage compartment.
- An aging program can be selected by way of a separate or supplemented appliance electronic system, in which the storage climate parameters are adjusted for example according to the type of animal, the weight and size of a joint, a desired degree of aging or a desired consumption date.
- Storage systems for ensuring adequate and homogeneous ventilation of the goods to be post-aged can be formed by a perforated shelf surface 113 made of stainless steel for example. Also permanently secured or flexibly mounted hooks can be provided to secure larger joints in the storage area.
- the refrigeration appliance 100 can be used for simple product storage with the claim of maintaining quality to product refinement and therefore further quality improvement for refrigerated goods.
- the meat aged in the refrigeration appliance 100 has a greater water binding capacity, cooks faster and remains juicy and develops a more marked aroma.
- the refrigeration appliance 100 allows individualized meat aging and makes domestic refrigeration appliances more professional, for example by meeting gourmet needs. Consumption quality improves during the post-aging time in the storage area 103 and an individual consumption date can be freely selected. This allows greater flexibility by further decoupling purchase and consumption.
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic view of a further refrigeration appliance 100 .
- the perforated shelf surface 113 is arranged as a storage area 103 within the refrigeration compartment 115 .
- the refrigeration compartment 115 comprises a separate ventilation facility 107 , which generates an air flow 109 with an air speed in the storage area 103 between 0.5 m/s and 2.5 m/s.
- the aging process takes place in a dynamically chilled refrigeration compartment 115 with fin evaporator.
