Explanation:
food containing oils and fats get oxidised which results in false smell of the food items.....such process is called as rancidity.........another application is corrosion......the iron nail gets covered by a layer of rust and gets corroded.....
hope this helps

Numerous daily activities, including respiration, combustion, and plant photosynthesis, involve oxidation.
Oxidation reaction:
- Redox reactions also referred to as oxidation-reduction processes, are reactions in which electrons are transferred from one species to another.
- An oxidized species is one that has lost electrons, whereas a reduced species has gained electrons.
Oxidation reaction in everyday life:
- Fats and oils oxidize, becoming rancid as a result.
- Because they quickly turn rancid due to oxidation, potato packets are packed with nitrogen gas to keep them fresh for a long time.
- Initially, the word "oxidation" was used to refer to chemical processes in which an element reacts with oxygen.
- An illustration of this is the oxidation of magnesium in the formation of magnesium oxide when magnesium metal and oxygen react.
- Numerous oxidation-reduction processes are as frequent and well-known as fire, metal corrosion and disintegration, fruit browning, respiration, and photosynthesis—basic life processes.
- Food quality degradation, including off-flavors and off scents, is caused by oxidation, a chain reaction that takes place in the presence of oxygen.
- It is impacted by product contents as well as methods used for processing, packaging, and storage.
