In addition, here, the process of creating the reference model (55) will be described by taking as an example a case where the reference model (55) is created from the time series data of the sugar content and the water content of the fresh material, which are the freshness indexes.

First, fresh foods are actually stored in a controlled storage such that the environment in the refrigerator becomes a predetermined setting environment (for example, the temperature, oxygen concentration, and carbon dioxide concentration in the refrigerator become the respective set values). It stores and acquires time-series data of a freshness index (sugar content in FIG. 5) of the stored fresh product (see (a) of FIG. 5).

Next, the obtained time series data of the freshness index is normalized (normalized) so that the average becomes 0 (zero) and the variance becomes 1 (see FIG. 5B). Next, a trend component is extracted from the normalized data (see (c) of FIG. 5). Next, a frequency distribution of the freshness index (the sugar content in FIG. 5) in the trend component is created (see (d) of FIG. 5). Next, a mixed Gaussian model is created by approximating the created frequency distribution with a linear combination of a plurality of Gaussian functions (see (e) of FIG. 5).
