Answer:

Rancidity is a condition in which the substance with oil and fats get oxidized when they are exposed to air. A substance is said to be rancid when there is a change in smell, taste, and colour. An example of rancidity is when a chips pack is exposed to atmospheric air which results in a change in taste and odor.
