Fats and oils in food, if kept for long time, get oxidised and become rancid and their smell and taste change. This process is known as rancidity.
Hope it helps.

Hey,
Friend,

The oxidation of oils or fats in a food resulting into a bad smell and bad taste is called rancidity.
Rancidity spoils the food materials which are prepared in fats and oils and are kept open for a considerable time.

Hope this will help you....
