Answer:
Hope this explanation helps...
Explanation:
Nitrogen is an inert gas, hence it acts as an antioxidant and prevents the oils and fats from oxidation. Thus, oils and fats are flushed with nitrogen to prevent their oxidation and stop odor.
Nitrogen flushing is a method used to preserve and protect food from damage during shipping and storage. Nitrogen replaces the oxygen in a food storage bag, and cushions the contents. Unlike oxygen, nitrogen doesn't react with foods or affect the flavor or texture, so they stay fresher longer.
