Using salted water (brine) to dip apples in keeps them white by retarding the oxidation of the surface of the fruit. Lemon water (acid based) also does the same thing. Neither will affect the taste of the apples if used in the correct proportions.

∙ 13y agoI have to cut and send in 114 apples to the school for their Christmas party. It was recommended that I soak them in 7 up to keep them from browning before they are even delivered. Good idea. Only, I never had success with the famous lemon juice technique, so I was worried about this one as well. I tried it and it kept them for an hour. That wouldn't do, it'd take me that long to just cut as many apples. So I looked on line, found the 1 teaspoon of salt to a quart of water suggestion and tried that. I wasn't sure if the salt had to be dissolved or not, and I didn't want to go halfway on this, so I boiled the salt water, let it cool, then soaked on cut apple in 7 up and one in the salt mix. Then I pulled them both out and set them on plates next to each mixture so I would know witch was witch. After an hour I looked at them both and the 7 up one was starting to brown and the salt mix apple was still very white. I tasted a slice of each to see if that would be a determination, and the 7 up apple tasted sweet at first, but then seemed very bitter. Odd. The salt mix apple didn't seem to have altered in taste. So I know what I'm using when I wake up tomorrow. Hope this experiment helps you as well.
