When fats and oils are oxidised, they become:
Rancid
The correct answer is Rancid.
This can also cause off-flavours, particularly in butter and other dairy fats where short-chain fatty acids are released. Saturated Fats: Fats and oils with more unsaturated fatty acids (having double bonds) are generally more prone to oxidative rancidity than those with saturated fatty acids (having no double bonds). Understanding the oxidation process helps in proper storage and handling of food containing fats and oils to maintain their quality and safety.
