प्रश्न
What are anti-oxidants? Why are they added to fat and oil containing foods?
उत्तर
Antioxidants are reducing agents that prevent oxidation of fats and oils. They are added to fatty and oily foods to prevent them from turning rancid (i.e., change in taste and smell of food) due to oxidation. Example: Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA).
