Claim Text:
1. A control method of a refrigerator having a storage chamber separately provided in a refrigerating compartment for aging of meat, comprising: keeping the storage chamber at an aging temperature for a first time, and cooling the storage chamber to a cooling temperature lower than the aging temperature for a second time after the first time passes; and repeatedly cycling the storage chamber between the aging temperature and the cooling temperature to enable aging of meat, wherein the temperature of the storage chamber is repeatedly controlled to the aging temperature and the cooling temperature for a preset meat aging period until the meat is aged, the temperature of the storage chamber being repeatedly controlled to the aging temperature and the cooling temperature such that the aging temperature and the cooling temperature are each reached at least two times during the meat aging period, and the control method further comprises keeping the storage chamber at a storage temperature to store the aged meat after the meat aging period passes, wherein the aging temperature and the cooling temperature are determined within preset ranges, respectively, which are separated from each other, wherein the first time and the second time are preset, respectively, the first time is set to be longer than the second time, and the storage temperature is determined between the aging temperature and the cooling temperature.
