Shelf life The shelf life of a product refers to the
length of time a product may be stored without becoming unsuitable for use or consumption.
After the shelf life of a product has reached, the food undergoes processes which results in rancidity.

What is Rancidity? Rancidity, is the natural process of
decomposition of fats or oils by either hydrolysis or oxidation, or both.
The process of degradation converts fatty acid esters of oils into free fatty acids.
This gives rise to an unpleasant odour and taste in food.
These lipids degrade to the point of becoming either unpalatable or unhealthy to ingest.

Factors Causing Rancidity Catalysts: trace metal ions & inorganic
salts Temperature Amount of PUFA Time Light Water

Types of RancidityThere are 3 types/pathways of rancidity:1. Oxidative Rancidity Known as autoxidation It is due to the auto-oxidation of PUFA
present in triacylglycerols by the atmospheric O2 on free radicals.
The end product is the formation of aldehyde epoxide and peroxide.

2. Hydrolytic Rancidity
Known as hydrolysis/enzymatic oxidation.
It is due to the contamination of fat by lipase leading to the formation of diacyl & triacylglycerols with free fatty acids.
The end product is the formation of aldehyde epoxide and peroxide.

3. Microbial Rancidity
In which micro-organisms such as bacteria, moulds and yeast use their enzymes to break down chemical structures in the oil, producing unwanted odours and flavours.
Water needs to be present for microbial growth to occur.
Can be prevented by sterilization

Lipid Peroxidation The main cause of rancidity of lipids is the
oxidative deterioration of lipids via a free-radical chain mechanism, which is also called lipid peroxidation.
This process occurs only within our bodies. It occurs in three stages or phases:
>Initiation>Propagation>Termination
![Page 15: Rancidity & Lipid Peroxidation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/554b43d8b4c9054b5e8b4bb9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Stage 1: Initiation
Molecular oxygen combines with unsaturated fatty acids, producing hydroperoxides and peroxyl free radicals, both of which are highly reactive and unstable.
![Page 16: Rancidity & Lipid Peroxidation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/554b43d8b4c9054b5e8b4bb9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Stage 2: Propagation
This is when these unstable by-products of the first stage react with other lipids, starting a continuing free radical lipid peroxidation chain reaction called autoxidation. This results in a continuing and cyclical oxidative degradation process, breaking down the lipid.

Stage 3: Termination
Is marked by the slowing or stopping of reactions, completion of making unreactive compounds or when an antioxidant is added or encountered. There are two basic types of oxidative by-products, primary and secondary.

Measuring RancidityRancidity is most commonly detected by taste or smell, but it is also accompanied by a marked increase in the acid value of the fat, which is tested by using two basic laboratory tests:
Peroxide Value (PV) for primary oxidation products
Anisidine Value (AnV) for secondary oxidation products.

Prevention of Lipid PeroxidationAdding antioxidants (A, C & E) to one’s diet retards lipid peroxidation.
