What are the prevention of rancidity? Give at least 3 points​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Rancidity can be prevented using the following methods:

• Adding antioxidants (substances which prevent oxidation) to food.
• Storing food in airtight containers to slow the process of rancidification.
• Refrigerating food also helps to slow down rancidification.
• Replacing oxygen in the containers with another gas. For example, to prevent chips from turning rancid, chips manufacturers flush the bags with nitrogen gas.
