Answer:

Explanation:

Because :

 Rancidity is development of unpleasant smell from food due to oxidation or hydration of fat by metallic atoms and microbes.

It is prevented by adding antioxidants to the food, storing the food in air-tight compartment, storing the food in refrigerator and keeping the food away from the sun.

Simply storing the food in a clean and covered container can lead to rancidity because the nitrogen in atmosphere reacts with food. Touching the food with washed or unwashed hands will lead to rancidity.
