Answer:
Explanation:
Rancidity :-
The Process in which food gets spoiled due to oxidation, especially during summers is called rancidity. It leads change the taste, colour, smell, etc,
Example :-
When fats and oils are oxidised, they become rancid e.g milk turns sour, butter becomes rancid, etc.
More On the Given Topic :-
Antioxidants can prevent oils and fats from oxidation, e.g BHA (Butylated hydrxy anisole) and BHT (Butylated hydrxy tuluene) are added to butter, an antioxident to prevent its oxidation.
Chips and other snacks are packed in nitrogen gas, which is least reactive (inert) and prevents spoilage of food by oxidation.
Some of the snacks like peanuts, walnuts are vacuum packed, i.e air taken out completely, so that they not become rancid due to oxidation.
