The type of rancid off-flavour that edible oils develop depends on their fatty acid content (for example, oils containing linolenic acid, such as rapeseed oil, may become painty and fishy) and the presence of minor components (for example, in flavour-reverted soybean oil). Producers of edible oils use a variety of strategies to extend the shelf life of their products, including the addition of antioxidants. When considering suitable quantities of added antioxidants, the existence of natural antioxidants should always be addressed.
As a result, one of the primary issues facing the oil
processing business is maintaining the product's high quality after processing
until it is used by the user. However, the oxidative stability of edible oils
is determined not just by storage conditions, but also by the raw material's
history and the processing procedures involved.

Fats and oils deteriorate due to oxidation processes, with
rancidity being the most noticeable effect. The development of an unpleasant
taste and smell, as well as changes in colour, viscosity, density, and
solubility, are among the most noticeable changes that occur throughout the
oxidation process. The loss of important fatty acids, the breakdown of vitamins
and pro-vitamins, and the creation of odour-intensive chemicals are further
repercussions. These modifications have a significant impact on the nutritional
value and sensory quality of edible oils.
