PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a refrigerator capable of suppressing, over a long period of time, the oxidation degradation of nutrition ingredients in food stored in a pressure-reduced storage chamber in the refrigerator.SOLUTION: The refrigerator 1 includes the pressure-reduced storage chamber 24 provided in the refrigerator 1, with the inside reduced to a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure, and a deoxidizer 81 provided in the pressure-reduced storage chamber 24. The deoxidizer 81 is an oxidation inhibitor containing an inorganic component or an organic component, and is provided in an oxidation inhibiting cassette 80 inhibiting lead-in of air in the case of the atmospheric pressure, and leading in more air in the case of the pressure lower than the atmospheric pressure than the case of the atmospheric pressure to reduce the amount of oxygen in the pressure-reduced storage chamber 24.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】冷蔵庫において、減圧貯蔵室に収納した食品中の栄養成分の酸化劣化を長期間にわたって抑制できる冷蔵庫を得ることを目的とする。【解決手段】冷蔵庫1内に設けられて内部が大気圧よりも低い圧力に減圧される減圧貯蔵室24と、該減圧貯蔵室24内に設けられた脱酸素剤81とを備えた冷蔵庫1において、前記脱酸素剤81は無機系成分又は有機系成分を含む酸化防止剤であって、大気圧の場合に空気の導入が抑制され、且つ大気圧より低い圧力の場合に大気圧の場合よりも多くの空気を導入して前記減圧貯蔵室24の酸素量を低下させる酸化抑制カセット80内に設けられたことを特徴とする。【選択図】図4
