Question

Write true or false for the following statement:
Chips, Namkeen, etc., are generally packed in a nitrogen-free atmosphere.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. We can use oxygen-free nitrogen for leak detection, strength, and pressure testing.
2. It causes a change in the smell and taste of fat or any foodstuff containing oil.
3. The pack of chips, Namkeen, etc., is packed in oxygen-free nitrogen gas to prevent rancidity.
4. Rancidity is due to a process that converts esters in the oils into free fatty acids by reacting with atmospheric oxygen.

Hence, the statement is False.
