Is it true that storing bread in the refrigerator keeps it fresh longer than leaving it at room temperature?
Unclear. Two peer-reviewed items bear on the claim only partially: one bread-waste study names freezing, not refrigeration, as the strategy that minimizes waste, and a DSC analysis reports that refrigerated storage promotes bread retrogradation (staling) while frozen storage suppresses it. Neither directly compares refrigerator versus room-temperature storage for keeping bread fresh.
