Question

Why do potato chips manufacturers fill the packet with nitrogen gas

Open in App
Solution

Dear Student,

The packet of the potato chips is filled with the nitrogen gas for preventing oxidation and hence to prevent rancidity.

As nitrogen gas is inert in nature so it does not itself react with the food items but prevent rancidity.
