Question
It is recommended to use air tight containers for storing oil for a long time.
Advertisements
Solution
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.
