Answer 2

Keeping food in airtight containers helps to slow down c) oxidation

• Usually, food items are kept in airtight containers to prevent the oxidation of fats and oils present in them.
• The atmospheric oxygen reacts with the fats and oils present in food items and slowly degrades the quality.
• The degradation can be observed in form of a bad smell, taste and texture.
• The degradation of food due to oxidation is termed rancidity.
• So, to avoid the rancidity of food items we keep them in airtight containers to slow down the oxidation process.
