An ambient humidity control article for controlling the ambient humidity within 65%-75%. The article includes a substrate which has a predetermined water absorbability, and a humidity control layer coated on the substrate. The humidity control layer is made up of a humidity control composition. The amount of the composition coated on per cubic centimeter of the substrate is 0.54-0.74 grams. The composition includes at least one chloride salt and water. The chloride salt includes at least one of NaCl, NH.sub.4Cl, KCl and MgCl.sub.2. The weight percentage of the chloride salt is 18%-44.6%. The water absorption amount of the substrate is not less than 0.5 grams per cubic centimeter. The article can control the ambient humidity without the need to pre-adjust the objective space. The article has a large capacity of moisture absorption and desorption and can quickly achieve the desired humidity in the objective environment.

The invention relates to a packaged frozen food product comprising a sealed package made of material that is impermeable to water vapour, said sealed package holding: 40-1,000 grams of one or more frozen breaded food products comprising 30-90 wt. % of a filling having a water content of at least 30 wt. % and an outer crumb coating, said one or more frozen breaded food products having a total water content of 25-75 wt. %; and silica gel desiccant in an amount of 1-20% by weight of the one or more frozen breaded food products;
wherein the packaged frozen fried food product is obtained by a process comprising: a. providing a water-containing filling composition; b. providing a plastically deformable farinaceous dough; c. enveloping a portion of the filling composition with a layer of the farinaceous dough to produce an enveloped filling; d. pre-coating the surface of the enveloped filling with an adhesion composition to produce a pre-coated product; and e. applying a crumb onto the surface of the pre-coated product to produce a breaded product; f. frying the breaded food product to produce a fried breaded food product; g. introducing the fried breaded food product into a freezer to produce a frozen breaded food product; h. introducing one or more of the frozen breaded food products and silica gel desiccant into a package; and i. sealing the package;
wherein the atmosphere within the sealed package is in direct contact with the one or more frozen breaded food products and the silica gel desiccant.

The frozen breaded food product of the present invention can be reheated in a microwave or oven to produce a ready-to-eat product with a crispy outer coating even after it has been subjected to frozen storage for a prolonged period of time.

The present invention provides a refrigerator, comprising: an adsorption container, an air compressor and a nitrogen storage tank. A sealed storage space is formed in a storage compartment of the refrigerator. The adsorption container with carbon molecular sieves disposed therein is disposed in the storage compartment. The air compressor is directly connected to the adsorption container through an air inlet pipe and configured to supply compressed air for the adsorption container in a controlled manner so as to allow the carbon molecular sieves to prepare nitrogen by means of the compressed air. A gas inlet end of the nitrogen storage tank is connected to the adsorption container, and a gas outlet end thereof is communicated with the storage space.
