answered 27 Mar 2026Name two anti-oxidants which are usually added to fat and oil containing foods to prevent rancidity.
A.VERIFIED ANSWERfact-checked by tutors
Anti-oxidants are used as preservatives in fat containing foods to slow up the development of rancidity due to oxidation
Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) can also be used as anti-oxidants with greater half-life than natural anti-oxidants.
