Härskiintymisen
Härskiintymisen is a Finnish term that describes the process of something becoming spoiled, rotten, or decaying. It can be applied to food, organic materials, or even metaphorical concepts like a person's character or a society's values. The word derives from "härski," which refers to a rancid or spoiled smell, often associated with decaying meat or fat.
In the context of food, härskiintyminen refers to the deterioration of fats and oils due to oxidation.
Beyond food, the term can be used more broadly to describe a decline in quality or integrity.
