Question :
What kind of precaution will take while purchasing air tight food and why ?
Answer:
Keeping food in air tight containers help in preventing rancidity. It does not allow air (oxygen) to come in contact with the food and this prevents oxidation of food. Thus the food never become rancid and its smell and taste remains the same.
Because It can provide conditions that will enhance the growth of microorganisms; it can cause damage to foods with the help of enzymes; and it can cause oxidation.
A chemical process that produces undesirable changes in color, flavor and nutrient content, results when air reacts with food components. When fats in foods become rancid, oxidation is responsible.
