Morphology
unrefrigerated = refrigerated (transparent) = un + refrigerate + ed
The adjective 'refrigerated' (kept cold) is simply negated by the productive prefix 'un-', yielding the expected opposite meaning.
Etymology
Unrefrigerated is made of un- meaning 'not' and refrigerate meaning 'make cold', the same root you see in refrigerator and the everyday fridge. So, unrefrigerated describes something that is 'not kept cold'.
