Answer 2

Answer:

TO PREVENT RANCIDITY ANTI-OXIDANTS ARE ADDED TO FOODS CONTAINING FATS AND OILS

Explanation:

ANTI-OXIDANTS ARE ACTUALLY REDUCING AGENTS.WHEN ANTIOXIDANTS ARE ADDED TO FOODS,THEN THE FATS AND OILS PRESENT IN THEM DO NOT GET OXIDIZED EASILY AND HENCE DO NOT TURN RANCID.SO THE FOODS REMAIN GOOD TO EAT FOR A LONG TIME.COMMON ANTIOXIDANTS ARE BHA (BUTYLATED HYDOXY-ANISOLE) AND BHT ( BUTYLATED HYDOXY-TOTUENE).
