What is the use of keeping food in air tight containers?

Answer»
  • Oxidation is defined as the interaction of oxygen molecules with all the different substances from metal to living tissue which may come into contact with it. 
  • When fats and oils are oxidized they become rancid. Their smell and taste change. 
  • Keeping food in airtight containers helps to slow down oxidation process. 
  • So, manufacturers of potato chips usually flush bags of chips with gas such as nitrogen to prevent the chips from getting oxidized.
