Question

tell me fast I make brainlist please​

Answer 1

Combating oxidation is where antioxidants come into play. They help prolong the process before oxidation of food sets in. As hydrogen donors, antioxidants donate a hydrogen to quench the free radicals being formed and delay or slow down the next phase of the reaction, propagation. This ultimately can delay rancidity.
