प्रश्न
It is recommended to use air tight containers for storing oil for a long time.

उत्तर
When oil or ghee is left out for an extended period of time, it oxidises and becomes rancid due to air oxidation. Antioxidants are used to prevent rancidity in foods cooked in oil or ghee. The oxidation reaction of food can also be slowed by storing it in an air tight container.
