PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such a problem that a user could be adversely affected if inhaling air with a low oxygen concentration when the container is open, since oxygen in the container decreases in a conventional CA storage method that uses a refrigerator container.SOLUTION: When a user draws out of a vegetable compartment 16 a container consisting of a lower container 48 and an upper container 50 from which oxygen has been reduced, a lid 52 of the upper container 50 is opened prior to exposure of the upper container 50 from the vegetable compartment 16 in order to increase the oxygen concentration within the upper container 50. Oxygen is thus made to flow into the upper container 50 to increase the oxygen concentration.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】従来の冷蔵庫の容器を用いたCA貯蔵方式では容器内の酸素が減少するため、容器開放時に酸素濃度の少ない空気を吸うと、ユーザに悪影響を及ぼす可能性がある。【解決手段】ユーザが減酸素された下容器48と上容器50からなる容器を野菜室16から引き出す場合に、上容器50内部の酸素濃度を上げるために、上容器50が野菜室16から露出する前に上容器50の蓋52を開放し、上容器50内部に酸素を流入して酸素濃度を上昇させる。【選択図】図1
