we can check rancidity thru two methods :-
check the smell usually it becomes foul
and see if the the fats and oils are oxidized ,if yes then it is rancidity.
the types of rancidity are oxidative, microbial and hydrolytic...
Rancidity is the development of unpleasant flavors and odors in fats and oils as a result of chemical changes. There are two main types of rancidity: oxidative rancidity, which occurs when fats and oils react with oxygen, and hydrolytic rancidity, which occurs when fats and oils react with water.
Rancidity is caused by hydrolysis and oxidation. Heat, moisture and exposure to light will increase these chemical reactions and thus increase the likelikhood of the onset of rancidity.
chemical reaction takes place in rancidity
There are two types of rancidity: oxidative rancidity and hydrolytic rancidity. Citric acid and phosphoric acid are added to prevent rancidity in fats. Other antioxidants include butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA)and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT).
we could minimize rancidity by adding anti oxidents(which prevents oxidation) to food items.
rancidity food are very wasted food for our health because there oil and oil are faty

Rancidity means having a rank, unpleasant, stale smell or taste, as through decomposition, especially of fats or oils.
Microbial rancidity refers to the spoilage of fats and oils caused by the action of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi. These microbes break down fatty acids, leading to off-flavors and odors that are often described as sour or musty. This type of rancidity is common in perishable food items and can significantly affect their quality and safety. Proper storage conditions, including refrigeration and sealing, can help prevent microbial rancidity.
