Rancidity
It is the process of slow oxidation of oil and fat (which are volatile in nature) present in the food materials resulting in the change of smell and taste in them.
The methods to prevent rancidity are:
1. Keeping food materials in air-tight containers.
2. Refrigeration of cooked food at low temperatures.
3. Packing of food items like potato wafers etc., in packets containing nitrogen gas instead of air.
4. Avoid keeping the cooked food and food materials in direct sunlight.
