A student notices that the bread kept out has a green colored coating over it after a few days. Option (a) the oils in the bread oxidizes and causes rancidity explains the reason for the student’s observation.
Explanation:
- Complete or partial oxidation of fats and oils present in the food products leads to the development of unpleasant odour. This condition is called as rancidity.
- Food items like bread, chips, etc., have fat and oil in them.
- When they are exposed to air/moisture, it results in the oxidation.
- As a result, unpleasant taste and smell are formed in the food items.
- Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
