hey mate!!
here is u r answer!!
______________________________
the plastic bag containing oil and fat containing food items (such as potato chips) are flushed with an unreactive gas nitrogen so as to prevent them from getting oxidized and turn rancid.this is because in the presence of oxygen in air ,the fats and oils present in food items get oxidized forming products having unpleasant smell and taste which turn the foods rancid (making them unfit for eating).when air containing oxygen is replaced by unreactive nitrogen gas ,the packed food items do not get spoiled.they remain fresh for a much longer time.
