Rancidity :
The process of oxidation of fats and oils that can be easily noticed by the change in taste and smell is known as rancidity.
For example, the taste and smell of butter changes when kept for long.
Rancidity can be avoided by:
$1.$ Storing food in air tight containers
$2.$ Storing food in refrigerators
$3.$ Adding antioxidants
$4.$ Storing food in an environment of nitrogen
