What are the effects of ascorbic acid and citric acid on browning?

The reason ascorbic acid and citric acid cause fruits to brown is because of the interaction between the acids and the phenolic content of the vegetable. The best way to keep your fruits from browning is to keep them away from other foods that contain these types of acids, such as citrus fruits.


What foods contain organic acids?

Many do, but well known ones are citrus fruits, which all contain citric acid. Also vinegar contains acetic acid. Acids are classified into two groups: Organic and Inorganic. Organic acids have chemical formulas they contain carbon (C) and [for the most part] oxygen (O). A few foods with organic acids are: Apples --- Malic acid (C4H6O5) Oranges --- Ascorbic acid (C6H8O6) and Folic acid (C19H19N7O6) Grapes --- Tartaric acid (C4H6O5) Vinegar --- Acetic acid (C2H4O2) Soured Milk --- Lactic acid (C3H6O3) Other acids that DO NOT contain carbon. (*Please note, an acid can contain oxygen and still be considered inorganic. As long as it does not contain carbon, it is classified as inorganic.) Some things with inorganic acids: Stomach acid --- Gastric acid Consists mainly of Hydrochloric acid (HCl), but also contains some Potassium chloride (KCl) and Sodium chloride (NaCl) Soft Drinks --- Phosphoric acid (H3PO4)

What is the acid that does not contain oxygen?

Only carboxylic acids contain carboxyl groups. Only organic acids have them--obviously, since an organic acid contains carbon and so does a carboxyl group. So...most acids don't contain carboxyl groups.
