What is the process called in which oils and fats develop an unpleasant taste and smell due to oxidation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rancidity

Rancidity is the spoilage of oils and fats caused mainly by their reaction with oxygen. Oxidation produces unpleasant-smelling and unpleasant-tasting substances, which is why stale fried food or old oily foods may become unacceptable. Preventive methods include airtight storage, refrigeration, and adding suitable antioxidants. Precipitation forms an insoluble solid, neutralisation involves acid and base, and distillation separates liquids by boiling points.
