According to Chef Wanda Gunawan, the temperature has an important influence in the storage of beef, which affects the freshness meats and durability. "The most optimal temperature to keep the meat is to a temperature of minus one degree Celsius," he explained.Avoid storing beef in five degrees Celsius or more. Because of this temperature would be damaging the meat and allow meats could be contaminated with bacteria that exist in the refrigerator and the air outside. Five degrees is the optimum temperature for bacteria to multiply and poison the meats.

This is what makes the meat was not fresh, not juicy, and the quality is declining. "And the worst, meats smelled sour," he concluded.
