There are two basic types or causes of rancidity that contribute to the degradation of stored edible oils: These are:
1- Oxidative rancidity, known as autoxidation, occurs when oxygen is absorbed from the environment.
2- Hydrolytic rancidity, also called hydrolysis or enzymatic oxidation, occurs in the absence of air, but with moisture present.
And the third one,
3- Microbial rancidity, in which micro-organisms such as bacteria, molds and yeast use their enzymes to break down chemical structures in the oil, producing unwanted odours and flavours.

Ayushpratapsingh2210:
but my friend told me that there are 4 types
Yeah..the other type is lypolytic rancidity......but Hydrolytic and Oxidative are the basic types
can you explain that ?
Lypolytic rancidity is the spoilage of uncooked foods as a result of hydrolysis of fats to free fatty acids on storage by the action of lipase either from bacteria or naturally present in the food.
Is it fine bro???
thnk u
yup
You're welcome

Include hydrolytic oxidative and microbial rancidity.
- rancidity typically reform to the release of aldehydes and ketones in fats that have unpleasant taste and odors
