(i) Air, heat and light effect the quality of edible oil, which deteriorates through oxidation (rancidity).
(ii) The oxidation process is greatly enhanced when edible oils are stored in containers that are not air tight and in areas where oil is exposed to air, heat and light.
(iii) Hence, it is recommended to use air tight containers for storing oil for long time, to prevent it from getting oxidised.
