Nitrogen and helium gases are used for the storage of fat and oil-containing foods for a long time.
- Oil and fat, when comes in contact with oxygen in the air, become rancid. This rancidity causes degradation of the food and gives a foul smell.
- This can be prevented if we do not let the oil and fat in the food come in contact with the oxygen in the air.
- This can be achieved by filling the container with nitrogen or helium gas as they are light and do not react with the food.
Hence, nitrogen and helium gases are used to store fat and oil-containing foods for a long time.
