Question

7. What do you understand by rancidity? How can you identify rancid food?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

When people say that a food has "gone bad," what they're usually talking about is rancidity. Most of the time, but not always, rancidity can change the odors or flavors of a food in such a way that it becomes very unpleasant to smell or taste.

Answer 2

♡ Rancidity is a very general term and in its most general meaning, it refers to the spoilage of food in such a way that it becomes undesirable (and usually unsafe) for consumption.

♡ It has a funky, rancid odor. It's not the most pleasant way to tell if food has gone bad, but if everything looks fine and you're still unsure, give it a whiff. If it smells rancid or pungent, or otherwise worse than when you put it in the fridge, it's better not to take the risk.
