Rancidity may be defined as the slow oxidation of oils and fats present in food materials resulting in some bad smelling compounds. 

*Food materials are often packed in air tight containers. Oxygen has no access to them and oxidation resulting in rancidity is prevented. 

*Refrigeration of food. 

*In bags containing potato chips and other similar stuff the air is quite often replaced by nitrogen. 

*Place food materials away from direct sun light.
