Answer:
Nitrogen is an inert gas, and is used during the packaging process to exclude and remove air and in particular, oxygen. Oxygen is highly-reactive, so this means it likes to combine with other molecules, which results in food spoiling or losing its' freshness.

Answer:
Oil and fat containing food items are flushed or surrounded with an inert gas such as nitrogen while packing them to prevent their contact with oxygen present in the air. This is done to avoid rancidity of fats and oils
