hey buddy,

here is your ans..

(a) Corrosion: Corrosion is a process in which materials deteriorate as a result of a chemical reaction with moisture and other chemicals present in its surroundings. Generally, metals get corroded more easily. For example, iron in the presence of moisture, reacts with oxygen (air) to form hydrated iron oxide also called Rust.

example:

4Fe + 3O2 +nH2O —> 2Fe2O3.nH2O

1. Storing food in refrigerators or in air-tight containers.

2. Flushing oil and fat containing food items with nitrogen before their packings

3. By adding anti-oxidants.
