Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Rancidity is a very general term and in its most general meaning, it refers to the spoilage of a food in such a way that it becomes undesirable (and usually unsafe) for consumption. When people say that a food has "gone bad," what they're usually talking about is rancidity.

The chemicals which are added to fat and oil containing foods to prevent rancidity are actually anti-oxidant.

Some names of antioxidants are :-

* BHA - Butylated Hydroxy-Anisole

* BHT - Butylated Hydroxy-Toluene
